REGULATIONS RELATING TO MA DEGREE COURSE IN MALAYALAM WITH MEDIA STUDIES -

(2013 ADMISSION)

The Academic council at its meeting held on 6th and 9th May 2014 approved the amendment to the Regulations

relating to MA Degree Course in Malayalam with Media Studies - (2013 admission).

Regulations relating to MA Degree Course in Malayalam with Media Studies - (2013 Admission)

Aims and Objectives

The growth of print and electronic media in Kerala is exponential in nature. The academic pursuit in Media studies is

also gaining momentum as the number of Journalism aspirants is increasing every year. Considering the industry demand

and academic importance of the subject, it is high time to set up a comprehensive Master’s programme in Malayalam with

Media Studies as complementary courses to meet professional and academic requirements, specifically relevant to Kerala.

Two papers (Media Studies and Contemporary Issues, and Studies on Visual Media) are designed as complementary

courses for the newly approved M.A. Malayalam degree course. The Master’s Programme in Malayalam with Journalism

and Mass Communication as complementary courses will facilitate higher studies for the students of FDP (Malayalam and

Mass Communication) at St. Xavier’s College, Thumba; an affiliated institution of Kerala University. Mar Ivanios College is

offering FDP in Journalism, Mass Communication and Video Production with creative writing in Malayalam as two

compulsory complementary courses and two optional courses. This course is offered by another private institution under

self-financing scheme. The newly designed M.A. Malayalam programme will give scope for higher studies for the students

of FDP (Journalism, Mass Communication and Video Production) as well.

The first paper (ML 233 - Media Studies and Contemporary Issues) introduces the themes, concepts and theories of

Mass Communication and moves on to familiarize the core principles of Journalism to PG level students. It further aims at

enabling the students to have a critical understanding on the recent developments in Malayalam Print Media. The second

paper (ML 242 - Studies on Visual Media) focuses on Visual Media with its theoretical and practical perspectives. It tries

to capture the concepts involved in different genres of Visual Media so as to provide sound background knowledge in

Visual Media studies to design and appreciate media content.

The proposed complementary courses may build a foundation for students to pursue Media Studies in their future

academic endeavours as well as media practice as the case may be. The practical aspects of Media Studies are carried out

through production of lab journals, expert classes, visits to media houses, assignments on real life situations, production

of news bulletins and programmes with the state of the art facility established at the institution. The thrust given to the

theoretical framework of Media Studies may help the students gain expertise in textual analysis and critical appreciation of

media content as the stream has tremendous potential in the area of Media and Communication research. As these two

courses cover important elements of Media Studies and Journalism, the students may directly approach any media institu-

tion in Kerala for placements. Further, the courses are specifically designed to help students who have majored in

Malayalam to acquire skills in print and electronic media in Malayalam.

Course Structure :

The Paper I (ML 233 - Media Studies and Contemporary Issues) will be covered in Semester III and Paper II (ML 242 -

Studies in Visual Media) will be covered in Semester IV. The allotment of marks for Paper I is in 75:25 pattern (75 marks for

University examination and 25 marks for internal assessment) and for Paper II is in 75:15:10 pattern (75 marks for University

examination, 15 marks for internal assessment and 10 marks for internship). 5 marks for attendance are included in the

internal assessment.

Internship :

The students are required to do internship in any reputed media organization for a period of three weeks including

holidays as part of Paper II, semester IV. Maximum 10 marks will be allotted in Paper II, after the successful completion of

internship.
