Manorama School of Communication (MASCOM), Kottayam is run by the wellknown media group Malayala Manorama. It was a long cherished dream-come-true of the group's patron Sri.K.M.Mathew, who wanted journalism to be taught the way it should be: with a hands-on and no-nonsense approach and without frills and hype. His dream was to mould handpicked students into well-rounded journalists with quality training. This dream finally turned into a reality in 2002 when he set up the Manorama School of Communication (MASCOM) which quickly established itself as a premier journalism training centre in the country.
The course fee is kept affordable because MASCOM is a not-for-profit institution run with the mission that journalism education should be made available to everyone. The institute also provides for regular field trips of the students outside Kottayam, cash prizes awarded to the best students, merit-cum-means scholarships given to deserving students and subsidised food at the canteen.
