The department aims to prepare skilled professionals and world leaders in the field of journalism and communication who can serve the society at large.The department of Journalism and Mass Communication offers a full-fledged undergraduate course covering all major areas of Journalism, Communication and Film Studies. The department has qualified faculties with significant level of industry experience, state of the art infrastructure, holistic curriculum, placement process, lively extra curricular activities and an ambience which encourages students to scale new heights in their areas of interest with a firm root in social sensitivity.
The teaching methodology incorporates lectures, workshops, and seminars, and emphasizes independent projects and extensive written assignments. It is our attempt at LSR to imbibe the teaching-learning process with the kind of sensitivity that reconciles excellence with humanity, a pedagogy that can break free of rhetoric, shatter myths and rescue imagination and intuition using them as resources to conceive and initiate change. To do this we provide for our students a diverse faculty drawn from the ranks of academics and practitioners and conduct seminars and workshops by practitioners. Our students attend film screenings and documentary festivals as well as seminars and conferences on the media to expand their horizon of experiences and to expose them to a plethora of views. We take pride in fostering our students with ambition, motivation and above all the will to make a difference.
The department has a well-equipped media lab and a departmental library. It conducts hands-on workshop on recent trends in Digital Journalism, Photo Journalism and Mass Communication, Media Law and Ethics periodically.
