Background
With unprecedented
proliferation of information and communication technology and innovations in
media, the scope and importance of the mass media are only growing. Since the
invention of printing press in the 15th century, media development has come a
long way and so has the need for qualified, skilled and competent human
resources immensely increased in the global media market. In Nepal too, with
the remarkable feat in the proliferation of local FM stations across the
country and the rise of numerous national and local television channels, the
scope for qualified and skilled human resources has only increased. With an
objective of providing quality education and equip the students with theoretical
as well as practical knowledge, Madan Bhandari Memorial College has been
running MA in Journalism and Mass Communication. This Tribhuvan University
affiliated program is expected to be instrumental in producing academically and
professionally sound human resources which the present day media landscape and
the mass media support systems are eyeing for.
MBM College is a community run
well known educational institution dedicated to the quality education and
social service. The young, dynamic, qualified, trained and result-oriented
faculties, with proper instructions and guidance of senior and experienced
scholars are involved in the college.
+2 and BA in journalism and
Mass Communication are our very successful programs. Its products have now been
shouldering journalistic responsibilities in reputed media houses including
BBC. Similarly, they have been performing well in the fields of media research
and media education.
MBM College is providing Journalism
and Mass Communication students with plenty of platforms. The College owns a Radio Station - Mero FM
(93.5 Mhz), a college-based community radio which can be heard in and around
Kathmandu. This radio has become a platform for students who want to sharpen
their knowledge and skills in the field of radio broadcasting. A good number of
students are now producing radio programs which have been going on air.
Communication study center
(CSC), an academic wing of MBM College, is very much dedicated to the activities
that explore the potentials of the students. For the last five years, CSC has
been facilitating Journalism and Mass Communication students to equip them with
knowledge and skills. It organizes different events such as interaction
programs with media experts, film screening, news-writing competition etc. CSC
has been regularly publishing a quarterly news-bulletin MBM Newsletter and an annual
peer-reviewed journal "MBM Anthology".
This is the student led organization with cooperation from the college
administration and the department of journalism and mass communication. The
main aim of CSC is to provide opportunities to the students, which helps them
to be saleable in the market.
MA in Journalism and Mass Communication at MBMC
These achievements inspired us
to launch Master's Degree in Journalism and Mass Communication. Two batches
have already run and our trackrecord has become impressive. It is a pride for
us that we are the only college having Masters in Journalism and Mass
Communication outside Central Department of Journalism and Mass Communication, Tribhuvan
University.
