The Government of Karnataka, the University Grants Commission and the University of Mysore have played an important role in establishing the post-graduate department on a strong base. In this regard special mention must be made of Prof. D. Javare Gowda, former Vice-Chancellor and of Mr. D.V. Urs, former Vice-Chancellor.
History of the Department of Communication & Journalism
The University of Mysore has many “first” to its credit. Education in Journalism is one of these. The Department of Post-Graduate Studies and Research in Journalism was started on August 9, 1972. However, the regular classes were formally inaugurated on September 20, 1972. Thus, the University of Mysore created history by introducing Journalism as a subject of study at the post-graduate level offering M.A. degree. Dr. Nadig Krishna Murthy, Professor and Head, who is pioneer in Journalism education in India is the founder of the department.
