Chronology Express– Indian Journalism History I Mass Comm Paper || | UGC NET DEC 2025 || Sen Academy

Welcome to Sen Academy!
This LIVE session by Sen Academy of Media is a complete, exam-oriented guide to the History of Journalism in India, specially designed for UGC NET Mass Communication (June 2026) aspirants. In this class, students will clearly understand who was the father of Indian journalism, why James Augustus Hicky is regarded as the pioneer of Indian press, and which was the first newspaper in India (Hicky’s Bengal Gazette, 1780). The session systematically explains the origin and growth of newspapers in India, the role of journalism during the colonial period, and how the press evolved into a powerful instrument of social reform and national awakening.

The lecture also covers the contributions of Indian reformers and national leaders to journalism, including the newspapers started by Raja Ram Mohan Roy, such as Sambad Kaumudi and Mirat-ul-Akhbar, which laid the foundation of reformist journalism. It explains in detail the newspapers started by Mahatma Gandhi—Indian Opinion, Young India, Harijan, and Navajivan—and their role in spreading nationalist ideology and mass awareness. Special focus is given to the journalism of Dr. Bhimrao Ambedkar, including Mooknayak and Bahishkrit Bharat, highlighting how the press became a voice for social justice and marginalized communities. The session also clarifies which was the first Hindi newspaper in India (Udant Martand, 1826) and discusses the growth of Hindi journalism in the national movement.

Along with conceptual clarity, this LIVE class is fully aligned with the UGC NET Mass Communication syllabus, covering how NTA frames questions from history of journalism, newspapers, editors, and chronology. Frequently asked PYQs, assertion-reason questions, and timeline-based questions are discussed in an exam-friendly manner, making the topic easy to remember and score. The session also guides students on how to prepare for JRF in Mass Communication, how to build strong fundamentals, and how to approach the subject strategically for first-attempt JRF selection.

This class is especially useful for aspirants who want clear notes, conceptual understanding, and a winning strategy for UGC NET Mass Communication. Conducted in Hindi and English, the session combines content, revision techniques, and preparation strategy, making it a one-stop solution for students aiming to crack UGC NET/JRF in their first attempt.
