About the Department

The Department of Media Studies at Bishop Speechly College offers a dynamic and
industry-oriented MA in Journalism and Mass Communication (MAJMC), designed to
mould passionate storytellers into confident media professionals. With a perfect blend of
academic excellence and practical training, the Department prepares students to thrive
in the rapidly evolving world of journalism, digital media, broadcasting, and
communication.
Our curriculum goes beyond conventional classroom learning through customised add-
on-courses that bridge the gap between theory and industry demands. Guided by
experienced faculty and inspired by interactions with prominent media personalities,
students gain valuable insights into contemporary media practices and professional
ethics.
At the Department of Media Studies, learning begins in the field. Students actively
participate in reporting, content creation, and media production from the early stages of
the programme. They report on major cultural and public events, often in collaboration
with leading regional media organizations in Kerala, which provide firsthand experience
in newsroom culture, live reporting, interviewing, and event reportage.
The Department also offers a vibrant platform through the in-house Speechly News
Channel, where students produce news bulletins, documentaries, short films, human-
interest stories, and digital content. This immersive environment encourages creativity,
critical thinking, teamwork, and technical expertise, helping students build strong
portfolios even before graduation. At our Department of Media Studies, students do not
just learn media—they live it, create it, and lead it.
