The institute is associated with the Jahangirabad Educational Trust, an initiative connected with the family that owns the Jahangirabad estate. It was established to provide practical training in print, broadcast and digital media, and has hosted residential courses, workshops and seminars on themes related to Indian journalism, rural reporting, and media ethics.
The campus occupies parts of the Jahangirabad Fort, a heritage structure in Barabanki located in the Awadh region of Uttar Pradesh, not far from Lucknow. The use of the historic premises has given the institute a distinctive residential character, with classrooms and accommodation set within restored portions of the fort.
JMI is among the relatively small number of media training centres located outside India's metropolitan media hubs, and its placement in a heritage fort in Uttar Pradesh has been noted as an unusual model combining cultural preservation with professional education.
