WHY GRAPHIC ERA HILL UINIVERSITY

      Why graphic era hill university?

“Experience is the teacher of all things” words of Julius ceasor ,a man master of political ,military and literary comprehensions .True to his words nothing but experience takes  you to the closest realities of life, especially in media sphere where things are so dynamic and static you can’t bound knowledge within 250 pages of a book. My days of partaking in this media realm must be ahead but in graphic era I listened to people who have their own set of experiences there and have learned so many things .Mr Dinesh mansera ,senior journalist at NDTV was guest  at one of our seminars where he talked about techniques of collecting news. He had worked on NDTV’s famous ‘Save the Tiger ‘series. He told us how cooperation, timing, inspiration, and vision are fundamental to  working of a journalist. We had also a chat session with Miss Deepika bhatt, journalist at (PTI)Press trust of India .She told us how things are tough in field for journalist and how to mentally and physically prepare for this job. Miss bhatt was an aluminai of our college, watching her doing so well in her carer assured us in some way. Another aluminai visiting us was rohit sir.Mr Rohit Juglan is presently associate producer at India news .His journey was full of hardships, he climbed  his way through samachar plus, news 18 India and others to be here today. He taught us about basics of television journalism and how to convert adversity at field and at news room for one’s own benefit. We also had opportunity to attend lecture by Mr Raghwesh Pandey ,regional editor in chief of Doordarshan, uttrakhand .Sir has an experience of about 40 years which he tried to sum up in an hour and a half to motivate us and prepare up for journalist’s life .He taught us why it’s important for a journalist to have strong bound and ties with source and fellow journalists and why we should leave our inhibitions and hesitancy when in field .These are a few names to be recalled ,there have been many seminars by department of mass communication and journalism giving students ample opportunities to learn from the industry people. But the foremost and key advices comes from Dr prof Subhas Gupta .Sir  is professor and director(I.D) at our college and has been former bureau chief at ZEE news ,Sahara TV ,editor at Amar Uzala and many more .Not only sir has vast experience in the field of journalism but is also an excellent orator which makes learning from him so easy, and unlike other guest lecturers he is always there to guide and motivate us .This feature of graphic era ,to provide  a platform where industry people and students can interact openly is what makes it different from all other colleges .Here at GEHU,not only we get theoretical knowledge of concepts but awareness regarding situations where they could be applied.
