After a month of attending classes for the paper— "Introduction to Journalism", I have learnt about many new things which I previously had little or no knowledge of. A prime example of such learning would be, the different ingredients of news along with its various components. Adding more to that, I also learnt about the difference of hard and soft news with examples from newspapers as well as what importance each holds. The lecture containing explanations on "attribution", "embargo", "verification" were also unique and interesting to me. Another unique concept that we were taught was the "5ws and 1h" method of writing news stories. The practical classes that we attended were informative as well. For our first practical, we had the opportunity to learn about making dummy newspapers in group setting, which was, once again, a fun and engaging activity accompanied by figuring out how to set the layout for the newspaper.
Overall, we have had very interactive classes with our professor packed with practical assignments and hands-on-learning.

It has already been a month since the classes for first years began for the students of B.A. Journalism of Lady Shri Ram College for Women. After a month of classes for the paper of ‘Introduction to Journalism’, I have learnt of many things that I previously had little to no knowledge of. We learnt about the different ingredients of news, while some of them were quite obvious like timeliness, verification, etc; the points about conflict which makes a certain incident newsworthy. The existence of a backgrounder for news articles was a new concept to me as I was unaware of what the term meant and what its purpose was before attending my IOJ classes. Other news related terms that were new to me were attribution and its types and embargo—which was explained to us in class by Vartika ma’am. I like how the IOJ classes are very engaging whether it's a lecture, practical or a tutorial class.
