A reporter from Graphic Showbiz, Annastacia Delali Sika, has emerged the overall best student in a four-month Developmental Journalism course at the India Institute of Mass Communication, in New Dehli, India.<\/p>\n
Delali Sika was among 19 students selected by the Government of India from a host of countries including Ivory Coast, Nepal, Uganda, Afghanistan, Uzbekistan, Madagascar, Nigeria, and Lesotho, among others.<\/p>\n
The students were taken through a variety of courses including Development Journalism, Media Ethics, Communication Development, Economics and Globalisation.<\/p>\n
In an interview with Graphic Online, Sika described the experience as \u201can eye-opening one\u201d which has exposed her to a much broader, understanding of journalism and its practice.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe course was stressful with many sleepless nights but I believe it has been worth it in the end. The course has deepened not only my understanding of journalism but also of government policies and implementation as well,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
Delali Sika added that although she did not expect to win the prize of the overall best student, which came with a citation, and a cash prize of 10,000 rupees (GHC600), she was honoured to have been chosen from among all the students present.<\/p>\n
She said although her specialty was in the area of arts and entertainment, the four-month course had equipped her with the skills necessary to be an all-round journalist.<\/p>\n
Apart from her academic experience, Delali said she had an insight into the culture and traditions of the Indian people, which identified them as a group of people.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s amazing to see that the Indians really cherish their culture and are proud to teach any foreigner. I think it was one good thing I learnt from the nationals and hope to learn about the Ghanaian culture as well,\u201d she stated.<\/p>\n
