They are the watch dogs of the society. The purpose of journalism is to inform, educate and enlighten the people. And at NIMS, the students will be trained in all these functions. Because the opportunities for journalists are endless but at the same time the job has become quite challenging too, as the new world is proving the adage that “the Pen (and the Camera) is mightier than the sword”. We at NIMS hope that our budding journalists will not only be competent practitioners by today’s standards, but also that they will help raise those standards.
