Journalism students launch print publications and the second issue of XIC Buzz

03-March-2014

As part of the conclusion of the Print Production module, the students of journalism (batch of 2013-14) on March 3rd, 2014, launched the magazines that they had conceptualized, written for and designed. The two magazines, titled Cognizance and Politique, were unveiled by Chief guests Dr. Anish Andheria (President, Wildlife Conservation Trust) andMr Satish Sahney (retired IPS officer) respectively.

Each publication has a distinct theme. Cognizance is all about science, technology, environment and health; whereas Politique covers the political scenario in the nation, with a special focus on the upcoming elections.

The module acts as a test for students to put together everything that they have learnt in different modules throughout the course, and come up with a final product under the guidance of faculty members Sandra Vaz and Sunita Wadekar. All decisions-- creative, editorial, financial and organisational-- are taken by students.

The event also marked the launch of the second issue of the batch’s e-magazine, XIC Buzz. It is a student endeavour to embark upon the journey of web journalism. For more details, visit www.xicbuzz.com.
