UoK - Department of Mass Communication : Publication

The department is keen to publish academic and informational material. An annual journal, known as the ‘Journalist’ was started in 1966. Some research and a number of general articles were published in it. Since 1997 however, its title has been changed to ‘Journal of Mass Communication’ and it has been reserved for research articles only. The journal is bilingual.

In 1989 the department began a unique experiment in order to provide much needed text material for its classes. Two to four books are published every year. These valuable publications are the latest and relevant material available to Urdu medium students. Ta similar approach has been adopted to bring out issues in English. The department also published the University Gazette and Al-Jamia every month in Urdu and in English. These bulletins contain important information for academics. A newspaper entitled “Inkeshaf” is published each semester to provide a training base to students. Students produce the entire content of this newspaper. The newspaper is published under the direct supervision of senior faculty members. In 2003, the department launched a monthly newsletter, “The Media Mirror”, which publishes news stories and comments on media related events and issues.
