  1. JOURNALISM By the Ahmadiyya Muslim Womens’ Student Association

  2. “ The winds of media revolution are charging forward. The world of online journalism is changing the face of how we understand the news and is altering our perception of the global community every day. This line of work is for those who want to understand and relay their interpretation of events across the world. To be a top journalist you have to be diligent, hard working and most importantly someone who does not take ‘no’ for an answer. If you strive to work hard you will go far, but unlike banking and corporate finance, this career is not particularly lucrative, but it is incredibly rewarding. “
