The educators responsible for nurturing media professionals from filmmakers and journalists to digital content creators and media executives constitute one among the many sectors under consideration.

Media & Entertainment educators are known to be the unique ones who are able to mix the left and right sides of the brain in a seamless way. Thus, as they plan the curriculums, new trends and the technological advancements of the industry are put on the first line. In a rapidly changing world of media, they are the ones who make sure that they equip the youth with the required skills with the help of new tools and technology.

Their methodology is often a blend of both theoretical knowledge and practical experience. The students can be involved in the real projects on the ground, they might get the opportunity to work with industry professionals or they can make use of smart technology to produce their content. This application-oriented learning is crucial to grasp every single aspect of media production, from scriptwriting and editing to distribution and audience engagement. What's more is that, educators in media studies are in most cases the ones who are on good terms with the industry. They put the knowledge they have acquired in the industry into action, give students such information that is crucial in the industry and also enable networking and industry connections.

In Media & Entertainment, teachers are also the main creators of a place where the use of creativity and the critical thinking is at the highest level. They allow teenagers to experiment with unknown solutions, to doubt the validity of the status quo and to think analytically of the media and the impact it has on the social structure. This singular focus on creativity supports the students in getting a personal life and a sincere look at their project work. Teachers' Day is a day that we all meet and look grateful for their commitment and love. Definitely, their impact goes beyond the boundaries of the classroom to the point that they are indeed the main force that freshens up in the future. They show the young executives the way to go, they are obsessed with the brilliant idea of involvement and as a result, theater and mass communication are full of life. To be more explicit, they are those mentors who bring up students as knowing workers in the media industry, as well as ethical thinkers in the media field.
