Should you study journalism after Class 12? A perspective
With career in media standing steady as a lucrative option, a course in journalism comes handy. It helps in developing a base in of print, electronic as well as online media..
While some might believe that the power of pen is something inherent that cannot be taught but has to be developed with practice, yet these journalism courses promise to teach the “craft of journalism” within a few years.
With rampant rise in institutes and universities offering Bachelor’s degree in journalism across the country, its popularity is now an established fact. “I think in today’s competitive world of journalism where skills are important and so is niche reporting with focus on content, a journalism course is more than relevant and significantly useful if you wish to join the field,” said Anubha Yadav, Assistant Professor in Journalism Department, Delhi University.
The three year degree course aims at introducing all kinds of media careers (print, television, online, advertising, public relations) as well as the various schools and thoughts around it in history and in today’s times. Also students get trained in reporting, editing and even technologies. “It is a very challenging enterprise. I think a person who passes out of the course will have more than introductory grounding in media field,” adds Yadav.
After pursuing the course, students are free to choose. While a sizable number end up finding entry-level work in newspapers, television, media portals, advertising agencies, etc; there are others, disillusioned by the course’s cursory stance in all subjects, who decide to pursue a completely different course in postgraduation. “I realised after completing my journalism course that I had not really learnt in depth about any particular subject,” informs Pallabi Roy, currently pursuing her MPhil in Sociology from JNU.
“I could have easily opted for a basic graduation degree and followed it up with postgraduation in journalism. But I wanted to enter the field early as industry experience matters more than higher qualification in media,” says Mrinalini Raman, a student of Journalism at University of Mumbai. Most courses require students to do at least one internship with any media organization. After completion of course in journalism, one can expect jobs in leading newspapers, journals, news agencies, online news sites, advertising firms and a host of other organizations. After completion of course, the entry level salary is around Rs. 12000-Rs.15000. As one gains experience of 3-5 years salary can grow somewhere between Rs. 25000-50000. In fact, the relatively lower salary in media industry as compared to any high-flying corporate career has not managed to deter aspirants.

If too much fatty food or alcohol has caused problems for your digestive system, it may be worthwhile adding some ginger to your diet. Ginger is not only great for reducing feelings of nausea, but it can help improve digestion, beat bloating and reduce gas. In addition to this, ginger is high in antioxidants and is good for boosting the immune system. To give your digestion a helping hand, try sipping on ginger tea or adding some freshly grated ginger to a fruit or vegetable juice.
Garlic
Garlic has long been known for its heart benefits, however the pungent food is also good at detoxifying the body. Garlic is not only antiviral, antibacterial and antibiotic, but it contains a chemical called allicin which promotes the production of white blood cells and helps fight against toxins. Garlic is best eaten raw, so add some crushed garlic to a salad dressing to boost its flavour and your health at the same time.
Artichoke
If you have recently been overindulging in fatty foods and alcohol, adding some steamed globe artichoke leaves to your meals is a great way to help get your body back on track. Globe artichokes are packed with antioxidants and fibre and can also help the body digest fatty foods. On top of this, globe artichoke is renowned for its ability to stimulate and improve the functions of the liver - the body's main toxin-fighting tool.
Beetroot
For those needing a quick health-boosting shot of nutrients, you can't do much better than beetroot.

Not only is beetroot great for skin, hair and cholesterol levels, but it can also help support liver detoxification, making it an ultimate detox food. To enjoy its benefits, try adding raw beetroot to salads or sipping on some beetroot juice.
Green tea

Fluids are essential for keeping our organs healthy and helping to flush toxins from the body, and drinking green tea is a great way of boosting your intake. Green tea is not only a good weight-loss drink, but it is extremely high in antioxidants. Research has also suggested that drinking green tea can protect the liver from diseases including fatty liver disease.
Cabbage
Many celebs have resorted to the cabbage soup diet to help lose weight and get in shape quickly before a big event, however cabbage is not only good for weight loss - it is also an excellent detoxifying food. Like most cruciferous vegetables (including broccoli and sprouts), cabbage contains a chemical called sulforaphane, which helps the body fight against toxins. Cabbage also supplies the body with glutathione; an antioxidant that helps improve the detoxifying function of the liver.
Fresh fruit
Fresh fruits are high in vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and fibre= and are also low in calories, making them an important part of a detox diet. If you're after brighter eyes and skin, shinier hair and improved digestion, try boosting your intake of fruit and eating from a wide variety of different kinds. The good news is fruit is easy to add to your diet, so try starting your day with a fresh fruit salad or smoothie and snacking on pieces of fruit throughout the day.
Brown rice
If you want to cleanse your system and boost your health, it is a good idea to cut down on processed foods. Instead, try supplementing your diet with healthier whole grains such as brown rice, which is rich in many key detoxifying nutrients including B vitamins, magnesium, manganese and phosphorous. Brown rice is also high in fibre, which is good for cleansing the colon, and rich in selenium, which can help to protect the liver as well as improving the complexion.
Watercress
Like most green herbs and vegetables, watercress is an excellent health-booster and detox food. Firstly, watercress leaves are packed with many vital detoxifying nutrients, including several B vitamins, zinc, potassium, vitamin E and vitamin C. Secondly, watercress has natural diuretic properties, which can help to flush toxins out the body. To reap the benefits of this nutritious food, try adding a handful of watercress to salads, soups and sandwiches.
