thanx journo

Can journalism be taught and learnt?This is something any student in the Makhanlal university would readily answer in the affirmative as after the conclusion of a two day workshop on interview techniques the students have the opportunity to learn the basics of journalism from two eminent tv journalists-mr Hemender Sharma and mr Manoj Sharma.

Learning from the experiences of others is one of the wisest things anyone who dreams of succeeding can do.

What is evident after hearing the two journos is that today journalism is not just about disseminating information,it's equally important for a journalist to continuously pursue new ideas that would entertain and make good business!Technology has to be made optimum use of.

Everyone highlights the need to be humble with a self respecting attitude.
But there are guys like Mr Vinay Upadhyay who do not shy away from publicly declaring how they play with the emotions of interviewees.An incident where the respected sir forced his fellow journalists to touch the feet of Pandit Jasraj in order to get an ainterview of the famous maestro clearly indicates that a student of journalism will always be in a dilemma in deciding what's right and what's trash!Probably this is what explains the phenomena of sometimes futile intense discussions that take place inside the compact classes of the Makhanlal university.

I really look forward to the two journos not to get diverted and seriously share their experiences with us,so that the university does not have to wait long to mention in it's prospectus another name that's a BBC staffer!!
