Manorama School of Communication (MASCOM), Kottayam was established in 2002 by late KM Mathew. He wanted journalism to be taught the way it should be: with a hands-on and no-nonsense approach and without frills and hype. The main is of MASCOM is to train aspiring journalists so they become fully integrated members of the media industry, to train students to think critically and to learn how to gather and present information quickly, accurately and interestingly and to instill in students the highest ethical standards of the profession.
