JSJC Radio

JSJC made sure I did not have to learn journalism from textbooks but by actually being on the ground. The diversity of subjects ranged from learning about business and economics to reporting on war and conflict. I often hear my peers in other colleges say that their is a deep chasm between what they have learnt in their course versus what employers expect when they start out on their first jobs. With JSJC, however, I was prepared to enter the industry.

The JMS programme at JSJC had a holistic approach. We had interactive classes in the social sciences, through which, we explored stories from multiple perspectives. Even during the pandemic, when everything was online, I was pushed to lead with empathy, to assume nothing, and put in the work to find stories around me. It taught me how to adapt, be kind, and resilient. After all, even in the darkest of times, there is always a story to tell.

When I joined JSJC in 2019, I was a shy kid, who had never lived away from home. I was intimidated by the high standards of college education. Yet, I enjoyed the shift from rote learning to courses that encouraged us to think and form informed opinions. Further, the small class size allowed me to have a deeper bond with my professors. My favourite part of any day was to unwind with friends on an evening stroll or have endless banter over a cup of tea from the many food joints.
