Master of Arts (M.A.) in Convergent Journalism

Responding to the professional challenges of the journalism industry, the AJK MCRC started a P.G. Diploma course in Convergent Journalism in 2005. The enthusiastic response to the course, led to its being converted into a two-year Masters programme in 2007. Through an integrated programme in Print, Broadcast (Radio and Television), Online, and Photo Journalism, the course seeks to produce skilled and trained journalists, for all the four streams of journalism as reporters, news writers, copy editors and producers.
