Become a journalist in one year
The PG Diploma in Journalism & Digital Media at St Pauls Institute of Communication Education (SPICE) is built around the realities of the modern media industry — not outdated textbook frameworks. You'll learn the craft of storytelling, news reporting, fact-checking, multimedia production and digital publishing, then head out for internships in some of India's top newsrooms.
Supervised and taught by some of Mumbai's best working journalists, students learn the tricks of the trade in class before covering the city for real. Located in Bandra West, at the centre of Mumbai's media ecosystem, SPICE puts you where the action is.
What you'll learn
- News reporting, feature writing and interviewing
- Fact-checking, media law and journalistic ethics
- Digital-first storytelling, data journalism and online publishing
- Multimedia production — audio, video and podcasting
- Broadcast journalism and on-camera presentation
- City reporting, field assignments and live newsroom practice
Hands-on from day one
You won't just study journalism — you'll practise it. Students gain first-hand experience through the college's own student paper, the SPICE Enquirer, and modules like City Reporting, Law & Media and Broadcast. You'll build a real portfolio of articles, features, interviews, reports and reels — the thing that matters most when you're getting placed.
Cutting-edge facilities support the work: a podcast studio, newsroom simulation space and editing labs.
Careers & placements
Graduates go on to work as reporters, correspondents, news anchors, video journalists, digital content producers, podcast producers, content strategists, fact-checkers and editors. SPICE alumni work across leading organisations including the Times of India, Economic Times, Mirror Now, The Hindu, NDTV and a range of digital newsrooms — backed by strong placement support, regular masterclasses and personalised mentoring.
Who this course is for
The programme is ideal for graduates who want focused, practical, industry-oriented training and a faster route into the media industry than theory-heavy degrees. If you aspire to become a journalist, anchor, feature writer or media specialist, this is the course for you.
