Juxtapose is the Annual Academic Meet of Department of Journalism, Lady Shri Ram College. This where the best in Academia, Film, Media is brought to the table and made sense of by students & professionals alike. Lady Shri Ram College has long been acclaimed as the finest college dedicated to Arts and Humanities in the country, and has maintained its position of excellence not only in the field of
academics but also in the various extra curricular activities the college engages in. The college has achieved consistent good rankings in prominent publications like India Today and it is currently second time running as the best arts college of the country. Lady Shri Ram College introduced a three year Honours programme in Journalism in July 1995. In this short span of time, this course has developed into one of the most coveted undergraduate programmes for potential journalists in the country. Among several unique aspects of this programme is its inter-disciplinary approach, which combines courses in Journalism and Communications with Honours level components of Economics and Political science. Another special feature is the mentor programme under which each student is apprenticed to an accomplished journalist. The close interaction with the 'mentor' helps to develop and hone the student's skills in research, writing, reporting and editing, and enables her to focus career goals. The teaching methodology incorporates lectures, workshops and seminars, and emphasizes independent projects and extensive written assignments. The Principal and some members of the college faculty oversee the programme and deliver lectures from time to time in their special disciplines. A Co-coordinator assists in assigning and evaluating projects, conducts regular appraisals and facilitates the practical components of the programme. The Journalism department also brings out its publication Spectrum, both an online and print version as well as organize the annual academic meet, Juxtapose. Students regularly attend film screenings and documentary festivals as well as seminars and conferences on the media to expand their horizon of experiences and to expose them to a plethora of views. We take pride in fostering our students with ambition, motivation and above all the will to make a difference. The contact with visiting faculty is a special feature of the programme and enables students both to move beyond course requirements and engage with issues that impact the ethic and ethos of the profession.
