The students of the
Batch of 2024, B.A. (Hons.) Journalism attended their Introduction to Journalism class on Tuesday, November 11, 2022,
taken by Dr. Vartika Nanda.
The class commenced
on an insightful note where students discussed the articles they wrote on various writing exercises undertaken by
them in the course of online education as well as their daily lifestyle during the COVID-19 lockdown. Several students
shared their views on the pros and cons of online education while others
presented an unfiltered glimpse of their day to day activities during the
pandemic.
A powerpoint
presentation explaining the different ways to organise news stories was also showcased by a group of students as
a part of the interactive session. The presentation defined, simplified and elaborated media-related terminologies such
as 'by line', 'credit line', 'leads', 'body of a news story', among others,
with examples, providing an in-depth and integrated smart learning experience
to all students.
The students are
delighted to receive the best possible interactive learning even in the virtual
mode and continue to be regular and participative to make full use of the
opportunity.

Batch of 2024: Lecture on 'Inverted Pyramid' style and
'5Ws and 1H'
The following
report presents the gist of the Introduction
to Journalism lecture on Monday, January 10, 2022, attended by the Batch of
2024, taken by Professor Dr. Vartika
Nanda.
The class commenced
with a presentation on some real-life news stories adhering to the ‘Inverted Pyramid’ style including the '5Ws and 1H' format in the lead
paragraph. The examples helped students understand the basics of the inverted
pyramid structure and explained how it can be best put to use.
This discussion was
followed by a comprehensive presentation by a group of 5 students on the
concept '5Ws and 1H' as it is adopted in the news media. The presentation was
helpful in enabling a deeper understanding of factual news stories among the
students.
Finally, the students were asked by Dr. Nanda to prepare a news report on the latest developments related to the COVID-19 pandemic as well as online education based on the concepts discussed in the lecture. The topic ‘Organizing a News Story’ was decided for discussion in the next lecture.

The lecture conducted on the inverted pyramid writing style for the paper, Introduction to Journalism was a very informative one. Since this concept makes up the crux of a journalistic article, learning about it was valuable and practical.
