But we are planning to start the short-term courses by 2020 latest, and if we can, we will start the courses from 2019.”

For working professionals in the field, a course in digital journalism is being planned on weekends so that it can help them further improve their skills.

Furthermore, she said, “We will have to see about all that. Too early to talk about the kind of courses we will start. But a course in digital journalism will be there and since these would be for working journalists, the classes may be held on weekends,” India Today reported.
