When Prema joined Commits in July 2003, all we knew was that she wanted to pursue a career in journalism. But it was the journalistic insights she got from Commits through her very respectable professors that she finally became a very successful television journalist,” said Prema Sridevi’s father speaking in an interview with The Chronicle, the newspaper produced by the students of Commits Institute of Journalism and Mass Communication, Bangalore. Prema recently completed ten years as a correspondent with Times Now, India’s leading English news channel, and was honoured at felicitation ceremony by none other than the Chief Editor himself, Arnab Goswami.
Commits, a 15-year-old Bangalorebased media studies college, has placed hundreds of students like Prema Sridevi in the industry. Commits’ students, known as Commitscions, have made a mark in all segments of the industry in roles such as journalists, PR professionals and copywriters. Commitscions work as corporate communications professionals with top notch companies such as ANZ, IBM and SAP. In the words of Prof. Ranita Hirji, Dean, Commits Institute of Journalism and Mass Communication, “Commits was set up with the objective to bridge the gap between academia and industry.” Adding on, Prof. Ramesh Prabhu, HoD of Journalism and a veteran journalist declares, “We are dedicated to creating good journalists. I also believe that if you can think and write like a journalist then, you will succeed in any media field.
