Journalism Eligibility

Hi Astha,
You must look at the entire field of media especially script writing, film making of digital arts. There are some very good diplomas in these, I can tell more about it if you like. There are several careers in media in writing, production or post production.
-You can become a reporter, actor or getting behind the camera to direct, cinematographer or do finishing work as an editor, compositor or a VFX artist who can add reality to 3D visualizations.
-You may even be a graphic artist who designs the screens, or an animator who brings stories to life as a proxy actor for onscreen characters. You can get into production, whether live or animated.
-You can be a story writer who writes for live and animated screens or even roll the story into a video/ PC game.
-You can be a script writer who would stop at nothing to give wonderful scene setups to bring the story to life.
-You could be an artist who designs characters or who storyboards the film for live or animated performance.
-You can also double up as a voice over artist who gives his/ her voice to the characters or dub for movie stars, or even be a radio star.
-You can alternatively look at web for a web of careers in web design, online marketing, search engine optimization, content writing, social media promoting. Any extra skill can be used in this.
So it turns out to be one of the most challenging as well as satisfying careers. Sure not recommended for the weak hearted.
Do remember that digital design careers (e.g. web design, graphics, UI design, animation, VFX, multimedia) give better profits since they can be delivered anywhere in the world and hence may earn in dollars, resulting in better rewards for designers.
Some people are passionate about acting, they must understand that acting cannot provide jobs since this is an assignment based industry and one must fit the role. So, it could be better to enter this industry after acquiring a technical skill.
Wish you the best for your career. Remember, your career is a resultant of your knowledge combined with your passion and expression ability.

Hi,
Fashion journalism involves all aspects of published fashion media, including fashion writers, fashion critics, and fashion reporters. This can be fashion features in magazines and newspapers, and may also include books about fashion, fashion related reports on television and online fashion magazines, websites, and blogs.
Fashion journalists are either employed full-time by a publication or are employed on a freelance basis.
Course Details:
Anyone having a flair for writing, along with sheer interest in fashion and trends, can pursue a career in the prospering field of fashion journalism. Very few institutes conduct specialized programs in fashion journalism. However, one doesn't have to pursue a formal degree program in journalism to become a fashion journalist. With a degree in journalism, an individual can gain the technical expertise of reporting/editing. Any graduate with sense and knowledge of fashion and writing can become a fashion journalist. But, acquiring training in fashion merchandising or fashion design will be an added advantage for becoming a fashion journalist. Any course related to fashion designing or photography can be pursued to learn the basics and tactics of the fashion world.
Top Colleges Offering UG/PG/Other Courses:
Few institutes in India offer courses and programs fashion journalism, communication, and styling. Nevertheless, there are numerous premier colleges that conduct courses in journalism or photography, which, in turn, can be valuable for pursuing a career in fashion journalism. Institutes like National Institute of Fashion Technology (NIFT), New Delhi; Indian Institute of Journalism & New Media, Bangalore; Asian College of Journalism, Chennai; Mudra Institute of Communication, Ahmedabad; BD Somani Institute of Art and Fashion Technology, Mumbai; Manorama School of Communication (MASCOM), Kottayam; and Indian Institute of Mass Communication, New Delhi.
As a fresher, a fashion journalist can expect a salary package of around 2 lakhs, or above, per annum. With experience, remuneration is likely to increase, depending upon the quality of work, rewarding in the form of handsome perks and incentives. Opting to work as a freelancer according to one's pace and convenience is another great alternative.
