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.
