As part of its extension and experiential learning initiatives, the Department of Multimedia, GEMS Arts and Science College (Autonomous), Ramapuram, organized a Channel Visit and Field Trip to Manorama News, Aroor, Alappuzha, on 25 January 2026. The programme was designed to provide students with practical exposure to professional news production environments and to enhance their understanding of real-world media operations. The visit commenced at 9:00 AM with the departure of students and faculty members from the college campus, followed by an orientation session at Manorama News that introduced students to the organizational structure and daily functioning of the news channel. 

Students were then taken on a studio visit, where they observed live news production setups, broadcasting equipment, camera operations, and control room activities, and gained insights into news gathering, editing, and transmission processes through demonstrations by media professionals. After the lunch break, a technical demonstration session familiarized students with camera handling, newsroom workflows, and post-production techniques, followed by an exposure session on live broadcasting and field reporting that highlighted the challenges of real-time news coverage. 

The programme also included a career guidance session in which industry experts shared their professional experiences and discussed career opportunities in journalism, broadcasting, editing, and digital media. An interactive feedback and interaction session enabled students to clarify doubts and reflect on their learning experiences. The visit concluded at 4:30 PM with the return of participants to the college. The programme proved to be highly beneficial, as it enhanced students’ practical understanding of media production, improved their awareness of industry standards, and effectively bridged the gap between theoretical knowledge and professional practice. The Department of Multimedia expresses its sincere gratitude to the team at Manorama News, Aroor, for their cooperation and support in making the programme informative and successful.
