Student practical media industry exposure is a required component of most Bachelor of Journalism and Mass Communication programs through their required internships. Through these internships students learn to implement their learned theoretical knowledge when working at news agencies together with television channels and digital media platforms as well as PR firms. Through media-house partnerships universities and colleges supply students with practical learning opportunities for journalism reporting and writing content and making videos and managing media platforms.
The employment value of an internship strengthens the overall strength of a student's professional qualification and result in improved job possibilities after graduation. The practical experience of internships allows students to acquire relevant skills for their field along with establishing professional contacts while learning about different media sectors. Several institutions need internships as part of their core requirements but additional institutions let students decide independently whether to participate in them or not. Industrial structure within internships enables journalism trainees along with media professionals to enhance their skills and learn how to handle the quick transformations within the media business.
