Among the courses, she said, the school is mulling a course for digital journalism and may conduct classes on weekends for the working professionals.
“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,” Yogi said.
