 YEAR two students of  Nnamdi Azikwe University(UNIZIK) Awka, Anambra State. Tuesday, visited Anambra Newspapers and Printing Corporation(ANPC), publisher of National Light, Ka O Di Taa, SportsLightXTRA and Homeland newspapers.

The visit was made  to enable them see the practical  aspects of their course w, Graphics of Mass communication.

 Managing  Director of and CEO, ANPC, Sir Chuka Nnabuife   in  his introductory speech, explained  the corporation  makes different publications to suit their audience.

  He also showed them the processes involved in newspaper publication, from the newsroom to the printing stage. 

  Still on the importance of the excursion  Mrs Obi Chinwe, a graphics lecturer pointed out that the visit was for the students to see the practical aspect of what they have  been taught in the class to help them understand what they have been telling them all the while  “because it is like  storytelling but  when it being acted on,  it  brings more understanding  to what they have heard.

  Mr Joel Nwolu, also a lecturer  said “ this is part of the  requirements for the course, Graphics of Mass communication. We saw need to bring them because the course,  Graphics is not something that they have been exposed to.  When you  talk about film, pre- production, production process, it  seems so abstract.  That is the reason behind this visit  and also  for them to understand the concepts being taught in the class

  Also,  Onoka Felix,  a student, said  it was  an eye opener to him because most of the things taught in the class were basically theory, and that the important thing he learnt is  that the TV found in the Newsroom is not TV but a monitor which is used to monitor the happenings around the world

  Anotherstudent, Steven Bliss  Uzoma, said the excursion was a means of exposure.  “I feel so happy because I learnt a lot of things that I  have no idea of like benefits of dummies in news production  and also I have no idea  that news  comes in columns but with the help of this visit, I have gotten those ideas.”
