Students of Group C were seen buzzing around in the campus for their upcoming presentation on Shiv Sena, under the guidance of Ms. Lucy Gabriel. After a long week preparation, it was time for them to present it in the 107th session of World Around.
Issues covered: The session gave an excellent opportunity for exploring issues like Shiv Sena under the
theme “Regional Resurgences and Media Response.” They talked about different aspects including Sena’s agenda, violent disorder caused by them, Government’s reaction and the media’s take on the issue. The topic generated a number of questions from the audience including government’s response towards such acts of Shiv Sena. The Sena’s reaction against Sachin Tendulkar also became a matter of discussion. There was huge discussion on the reason for such agendas of Shiv Sena. As a result of this discussion, focus was drawn on the migration problem, urbanisation, industrialization and intolerance of other culture, political opportunism, politically motivated projection of the reality etc. The team members brilliantly responded to the questions.
Presentation style: The methodology of their presentation was innovative. Uday Norbert Sharma, a second semester student of MABJ and John Basumatary, a final semester
student of MJ exhibited their acting skills. They giftedly acted as Bal Thackeray and Uddhav Thackeray respectively. Later other members Payal Khonglah, Joseph Rai and Mridusmita Choudhary continued the presentation with the help of PowerPoint and video clippings.
Evaluation: The group was assessed and several corrections were suggested. Fr. John Edappilly, Dean, focused on the journalistic approach that is required for presenting such issues. A Journalist should not play a political role and one should know about the factual reality. The group as a whole should have an editorial statement as well as personal analysis. Being students of Journalism, they were directed towards understanding the attitude of media. There should have been deeper analysis of different media and their role in covering this issue.
Fr. Jackson Louis, Registrar, advised them to include more of editorials for balance. As a common man one is always biased towards such acts, but as a student of journalism, one should take a balanced stand by being objective. Commenting on the Power point format he further said that the slides should have images and text in pointers. There should be a marked distinction in what is on the slide and what is being talked about. Fr. Dejus J R, Assistant Director, talked about the importance of proper word usage as well as the conclusion. Mrs. Sumedha Mishra, Faculty, focused on the need of going to the roots of the issue.
The assessment will help students in developing a different perspective to look at issues like Shiv Sena. The session concluded after the feedback and appreciation from Fr. John Edappilly, Dean of NISCORT, Fr. Dejus J R, Assistant Director, Fr. Jackson Louis, Registrar and Ms. Sumedha Mishra. They were praised for the creativity shown through two kinds of reaction and their own take on that. On the whole, a Creative and well thought presentation, but there is always a chance of improvement.
