A short and sweet presentation

News at one's fingertips. This is what modern-day news media promises us. And, adapting himself perfectly to this genre, young lad Kirti Mohan, second-year student of S.D.M Law College, Mangalore, delved into news anchoring as a hobby starting off with news presentation for Daiji World, Mangalore.

What started off as a hobby, became a passion as soon as he was to know, he had won the award at 'Intel Centrino MTV on the Job-2'contest, a show on MJV which showcases off-beat careers like news-anchoring, radio-jingle composing, promo-producing etc.

Kirti was selected for this show through an audition.

He opted for the news anchoring job. He was then asked to come to Delhi for a task which was entrusted upon him by 'Headlines Today', a leading news channel.

He was asked to present news on the news channel and was made to face real-time problems which news anchors generally face( the teleprompter getting spoilt, breaking news for five news stories etc.) . On July 1 Kirti was declared winner of this job by Pritish Nadi, Gaurav Sarat( Headlines Today Editor) and Nikhil Chinapa (MJV VJ).

Kirti is the first person from the south to have made it to this show.

He has been awarded an internship with Headlines Today for this achievement.

Confessing, he hadn't expected to win the award, Kirti Mohan is elated at winning it and is looking forward to his internship with 'Headlines Today' which begins next year.
