Public relations Council of
India (PRCI) has embarked on a novel project - The Guest Faculty Pool to help Mass
Communication colleges impart practical training to their students.
The project, launched on a
pilot basis by the Mumbai Chapter of PRCI, has evoked tremendous response. It
has been launched as a national project at the 8th Global
Communication Conclave- Mumbai on February 15, 2014.
PR professionals,
journalists and corporate trainers volunteered to join the pool and share their
practical experiences with the upcoming young professionals.
PRCI got in touch with
various mass communication teaching institutions offering the facility.
PRCI hopes that the project
will help BMM and other colleges offering degree./diploma courses in tackling
the shortage of teaching faculty. Since the focus will mainly be on practical
knowledge and case study presentations, the Pool will be tremendous use in
keeping the students up-to-date with the developments in their chosen foelds –
be it advertising, PR, and journalism.
Our stress will be more on
practical aspects than mere theoretical ones. We will deal with Public
Relations, Crisis Communications, Reporting and Editing Skills and above all
asking the right questions!
We at PRCI invite
experienced PR and media professionals to join in and strengthen the pool.
The particulars may please
be filled in this format for ready reference.
