MY EXPERIENCES IN IJT

I am standing puzzle-headed from the moment I choose journalism as a carrier.Right now I realize the consequences caused by the lack of reading and research. The difficulty to handle English language also stands as a challenge. Even though I have all these problems, IJT gives me comfort that no classrooms could give me. And because of that I never missed a class. Time went so fast that I couldn't count it. During the journey some lecturers turned out to be more enriching though a few lectures brought little disappointment. As the classes progressed the confusion i had at the beginning had slowly ceased to exist.      

  

The inaugural session by Mr. Jacob Thomas IPS was outstanding and he gave me the reasons to hold my head high as a journalist. His motivational speech took me to a new level of courage. The first

 Jacob Thomas IPS 

class was by Mr. Rajashekharan, a senior journalist. He urged us to have opinions and to have the courage to express it out. Another striking lecture was by Mr. Gouridhasan sir, in which he honestly presented the ups & downs in the media front. Every day in IJT was a new experience as the faculties went on with informative lectures.

 Joe A Scaria sir taught us about the importance and opportunities of communication in this changing scenario. N.P.Chandhrashekharan sir gave us a better understanding about the news presentation and language skills. The new media classes were much informative that it has totally changed my prejudice views about the media convergence and online  journalism. The program production class taken by Marshal V Sebastian was the most electrifying session we had. And all the rest of faculties did their best ; especially people like S.Biju,Unnithan,Mangad Rathnakaran etc. Out of these excellent classes, the one that stands different and most amazing was the class taken by Neelan sir. He is one kind of a person who makes each second a memorable and remarkable one. Apart from those so called ‘lions’ who keeps themselves ranked above the sky; he is a peculiar person who keeps his legs mounted on the ground. Mannerisms of a common man from a great personality like him attracted me a lot. The camera classes were also very informative. Those classes changed my thoughts about the camera though it seems to be a tough job for beginners.
