As we cross the 9,000 mark in the global page-views
of PRapport, we have some more happy news to share.
The viewership in the US has crossed 4500 and in India 4000!
PRCI has successfully worked out a deal with
Mumbai University’s Journalism department.
They have agreed in principle to actively participate
in YCC not only by encouraging their students to join in, but to ask over 80
(yes E I G H T Y) colleges teaching mass media courses to start their own YCC
activities.
To begin with, we will run a contest on our 10th
Global Communication Conclave theme – Digital Now; What Next – among all mass
media students and pick up a 3-member team to be sent to Kolkata. Once we
finalise the format, we can run similar exercises in journalism colleges across
our Chapter cities and for a final team for YCC session at Kolkata.
I am sure, we can have students from at least
Mumbai, Delhi, Hyderabad, Bengaluru, Kochi, apart from the host city Kolkata.
Mumbai University is planning to hold an all-India
meet and asked for our involvement and support. PRCI will be partner. Our logo
will go on all material, including mementos. The theme will mostly be ‘The Changing
Trends in Communication’ and the plan is to involve media persons as well.
Mumbai University has also requested us to nominate
people from our ‘Guest Faculty Pool’ for lectures time to time. No problem. We have
enough and more people.
Finally, Mumbai University is oganising a
workshop on Development Journalism for media educators from different government
and private institutes, pan-India. It will be a virtual class room. You will be
happy to know that your President – National Executive will anchor and be the
Resource Person!
Meanwhile we had a group of BMM students from Tilak College (pictured)
to our office and we planted the idea of YCC in their minds.
Meanwhile, some hackers found it worthwhile to hack into our web site last week. We quickly detected and now had the site shut for a couple of days. Now its up and running.
Before I sign off, here is the customary stats table on PRapport.
