The Blog: Why We Do What We Do

Journalism is a vast discipline wherein learning goes on for life. The discipline of journalism is all about providing accurate and timely information. The blog, www.vartikananda.blogspot.com was initiated by Dr. Vartika Nanda in 2006. This blog has progressed rapidly over the years and continues to deliver quality content and cater to its audience. Being a reservoir of information, the blog covers events, terminologies, and research in the context of Journalism and Mass Communication. 


A major part of the blog is dedicated to assist journalism students academically. A systematic collection of notes, class reports, event reports, information about the Media and Research cell, and the students’ contribution is available on the blog. 




During the COVID-19 pandemic, the blog proved to be a valuable asset to journalism students in terms of academic assistance. Those who were denied the privilege of stable internet connection, turned to the blog for hassle-free exam preparation.  All the notes and readings linked to the syllabus like Introduction to Journalism, Reporting and Editing in Print and Media Laws and Ethics, are available and updated. It also features the Media Research Cell section started in 2021, which aims at enabling students in media research and associated skills. Thus, this blog is a product of creativity, hard work and extensive research. 


Another chunk of the blog covers the exemplary work done by Tinka Tinka Prison Research Cell pertaining to Journalism and prison reform. The extensive field work done by Tinka Tinka, podcasts, Tinka Tinka Jail Radio, and Awards bestowed upon Tinka Tinka are covered on the blog as well. The blog serves as a medium of valuable information, but also a chest of memories for students who have graduated, and will for students to come in the future.

I really liked the distinctive plan Of Dr. Vartika Nanda to create a "students contribution" section in her blog page. This peculair idea of hers makes the website more interesting than ever.
