Statement of Purpose
From a young age, I have been fascinated by the power of truth in journalism. Growing up in India, I witnessed how investigative reporting exposed corruption and gave voice to the voiceless. This ignited my passion for crime-reporting, a field that demands courage, ethics, and precision.
I aim to pursue the Bachelor’s in Mass Communication at the Royal Institute of Mass-communication, renowned for its rigorous training and global perspective. Your curriculum, with modules in digital forensics, ethical journalism, and crisis reporting, perfectly aligns with my goal to become a credible crime journalist.
During school, I led the editorial board of our magazine and interned with a local daily, covering court proceedings. These experiences honed my research and interviewing skills. I am eager to contribute to and learn from your diverse community.
I aspire to return to India and report on organized crime and judicial reforms, promoting transparency. The Royal Institute is my gateway to achieving this vision.
