WBCHSE Journalism case studies

WBCHSE Journalism (also listed as Journalism and Mass Communication) is a Higher Secondary elective offered under the West Bengal Council of Higher Secondary Education. It suits Class XI–XII students who want a first structured grounding in how news is gathered, written, edited and published, and who may be considering a degree or career in media, advertising, public relations or corporate communication. The syllabus moves from the basics of communication and the Indian and Bengali press heritage through news values and reporting, print writing and editing, electronic and digital media, advertising and PR, and media law and ethics, ending with practical work such as reporting assignments, page design or a project file assessed internally. Expect a mix of multiple-choice and short-answer items testing definitions and concepts, longer answers asking you to explain or compare, and practical tasks judged on accuracy, structure and clarity. The WBCHSE Journalism case studies are 5 cases and about 2,958 words.
