HoD's Message



It gives me immense pleasure to welcome you to the Department of Mass Communication and New Media, a department committed to nurturing creative, skilled, ethical, and socially responsible media professionals. Our academic programmes, including Ph.D., M.A. in Mass Communication and New Media, and B.A. in Journalism and Mass Communication, are designed to provide students with a strong foundation in communication theory, research, journalism, and contemporary media practices. We believe that quality media education must go beyond the classroom and provide students with meaningful opportunities for practical learning and professional engagement.

A key strength of our department is our fully functional Community Radio Tawi Dhara (91.2 MHz), which provides students with valuable hands-on experience in radio production, programming, content creation, broadcasting, and community communication. Alongside radio, our students receive practical exposure and hands-on training in digital media, film production, documentary production, television production, public relation enabling them to understand and work across the diverse and rapidly evolving media ecosystem. Our emphasis on experiential learning helps students transform academic knowledge into professional skills. We encourage creativity, critical thinking, communication competence, technological proficiency, and ethical responsibility so that our graduates are prepared to meet the demands of the contemporary media industry.

The success of our department is also reflected in the achievements of our alumni, who are working with reputed national media organisations and contributing to the field of journalism and mass communication in various capacities. Their professional journeys inspire our students and demonstrate the opportunities that a strong academic and practical foundation can provide. Our department is proud to have a team of well-qualified faculty members from diverse fields and academic backgrounds. Their expertise, experience, and dedication create a rich learning environment. They encourage students to think critically, explore new ideas, and develop practical skills, ensuring holistic academic and personal growth. As the media landscape continues to evolve with digital technologies and new forms of storytelling, our department remains committed to innovation, excellence, research, and industry-oriented education. We invite aspiring media professionals to join us and become part of a learning environment where ideas are transformed into stories, skills into careers, and communication into meaningful social impact.
