In order to capture eyeballs the news channels are working overtime to maintain their lead and increase their share in the growing Broadcast Industry.

Whatever training is being imparted is mostly theoretical in nature and hands on experience is severely lacking. The biggest concern going forward is not the size of the workforce, but its quality, loyalty and mobility.

Moreover with the advent of Internet, the news gathering is now instantaneous. The above course has been designed keeping in mind the web as well as hands on training inside the studio both for production and post production work.

Embodying the vision of Chairman RIGI, Dr. Augustine Francis Pinto, of equipping the students with skills to explore and realize their multiple talents, the Ryan International Schools, through its media initiative Ryan TV, launched Beyond Breaking News, a course for the benefit of those students interested in T.V. News journalism.

Since 2009 over 1700 students from Ludhiana, Gondia, Surat, Vapi, Delhi, Noida, Gr Noida, Ghaziabad, Nagpur, Pune, Bengaluru, Navi Mumbai, and Mumbai completed the BBN course. These students can now be seen on Topper TV channel in a programme called Young Journosknows every saturday 9 PM.

These programmes are in two different languages and offer our students a wonderful opportunity to explore their creativity, talent and skill. It is indeed unprecedented that the students after completing the course are immediately being given a platform (through the Young Journosknows programmes on air) to acquire fruition of their efforts, gain experience and not to mention the national visibility which only adds to their confidence.

Some of these student YJs thanks to their training have been employed in local TV stations and Doordarshan.
