Hello,

You can chose to go with journalism course at graduation level, this will make you acquaint with all the detailed aspects of journalism, there are many options regarding this such as Bachelor of Journalism and Mass Communication, BA Journalism(Hons), there are various diploma and certificate courses which you can do.

Some of the best colleges regarding this are Indian Institute of Mass Communication , Symbiosis Institute of Media and Communication, Xavier Institute of Communication, Indian Institute of Journalism and New Media,Amity School of Communication to name  few.

But, much more than a degree or any other level course it's the experiences and learning outside the classroom that matters, you might see there are many people in media who don't have a degree in journalism, they come from a different backgrounds, but  they have learnt the craft through their working opportunities, it can be  from even a small role like applying for internship. The more varied  experiences you gain working in various medium, the more you're exposed to the world of media and how it works. So, experience matters a lot here.
