PhD Journalism

Course Description

PhD Journalism (3 years) at Shoolini University emphasises on research and teaching skills. Scholars are encouraged to develop their own approach (both theoretical and methodological) to the study of journalism, while learning and collaborating with faculty who have a diverse range of specialties.  

Through this doctoral degree, they gain a solid foundation while exploring the theories and methods that shape mass communication research. The multidisciplinary program studies traditional journalism, the expanding boundaries of the industry, including the audience’s impact on news production, social media’s role in news, the new technologies shaping practice, and more. 

Veteran and practicing journalist Vipin Pubby is the mentor for the Journalism department at Shoolini University. He has over 40 years of experience and is the former Editor of The Indian Express.

As research is an integral part of our doctoral program, students participate in the department’s research and teaching missions through their assignments as research assistants, teaching assistants and graduate instructors.
