Preface
The bjmc programme is well structured and integrated course of
proffesional studies. The main objective of practical training at
high level is to develop skill in student by supplement to the
theoretical study in general. training helps to gain real life
knowledge about the environment and business practices. The
bjmc programme provides student with a fundamental knowledge
of journalism and organizational functions and activities, as well
as an exposure to strategic thinking of management.
In every professional course, training is an important factor.
Professors give us theoretical knowledge of various subjects in
the college but we are practically exposed of such subjects when
we get the training in the organization. It is only the training
through which I come to know that what an journalism is and how
it works. I can learn about various departmental operations being
performed in the offices, which would, in return, help me in the
future when I will enter the practical field.
Training is an integral part of bjmc and each and every student
has to undergo the training for 2 months in a company and then
prepare a project report on the same after the completion of
training.
During this whole training I got a lot of experience and came
to know about the management practices in real that how it differs
from those of theoretical knowledge and the practically in the real
life.
In today’s globalize world, where cutthroat competition is
prevailing in the market, theoretical knowledge is not sufficient.
Beside this one need to have practical knowledge, which would
help an individual in his/her carrier activities and it is true that

INTRODUCTION
Print Media
Print media refers to publications that are distributed in a printed form on paper, such
as newspapers, which must be delivered to customers in physical form either through
hand delivery or physical purchase.
These newspapers have their news correspondents at the District, Sub- Division
headquarters and also in small towns to get latest news.
National newspapers like Times of India, Hindustan Times, The Tribune, and
Indian Express have posted their reporters here for collecting all local news.
These newspapers are disseminating news and information to the people and are
a great source of media to educate the people in the method of performing their
civic duty. They are also playing a very positive role in strengthening the bonds of
communal harmony and adopt an attitude of restraint in projecting views
involving communal tension and disturbance.
Purpose
Print media is one of the most common ways for people to stay informed about current
events, technology and other special interests.
Features
Print media is extremely varied in terms of what sorts of topics are covered; normal
newspapers typically report relevant current events, but other periodicals may be
printed purely for entertainment or made for a specific interest, such as fashion, fitness
or a certain sport.
Benefits
Print media is relatively cheap and does not require access to technology, such as a
computer, to use. Periodicals and magazines are also extremely portable.
Considerations
Digital media, such as Internet news and video websites, present a stiff source of
competition to print media.
Significance
The importance of print media may decline in the future due to the rise of mobile
technology and the Internet which allow users to access news and other information
from remote locations on demand.
EDITING
WHAT IS EDITING?
Editing is the process of preparing language, images, sound, video, or
film through correction, condensation, organization, and other
modifications in various media. A person who edits is called an editor.
In a sense, the editing process originates with the idea for the work
itself and continues in the relationship between the author and the
editor. Editing is, therefore, also a practice that includes creative skills,
human relations, and a precise set of methods.
EDITING FOR PRINT MEDIA
Editors at newspapers supervise journalists and improve their work.
Newspapers editing encompasses a variety of titles and functions.
These includes: copy, editor, department, editor, managing editors, and
assistants or deputy managing editors, news editors, photo or picture
editors, section editors and their assistants , editorial page editor, this
includes chairing the editorial board and assigning editorial writing.
Newsprints and means of production cost a lot of money. Ultimately,
a newspaper’s success largely depends on the space and it is most
efficient, judicious and economic use. Hence, within the space set
aside for news, as much as possible need to be packed to serve a
divergent readership. Considering these factors editing of news copy
becomes essential.
REPORTING
Journalism’s activities includes stating who, what, when, where, why
and how, and stating the significance and effects of certain events or
trends. Journalism exists in a number of media: newspapers, television,
radio, magazines and most recently the World Wide Web through the
internet.
Journalists report and write on a wide variety of subjects like politics on
the international, national, provincial, and local levels, economics and
business on the same four levels, health and medicine, education,
sports, hobbies, and recreation, lifestyles, clothing, food, pets, and
relationship; journalists report on anything that news organization
think consumers will read.
Journalists can report for general interest news outlets like
newspapers, newsmagazines and broadcast sources; general circulation
specialty publication like trade and hobby magazines or for news
publications and outlets with a select group of subscribers.
Journalists are usually expected and required to go out to the scene of
a story to gather information for their reports, and often may compose
their reports in field. They are also use telephone, the computer and
the internet to gather information.
However, more often those reports are written, and they are usually
edited in newsrooms, the offices where journalist and editors work
together to prepare news content.
Journalists, especially if they cover a specific subject or area (a beat) are
expected to cultivate sources, people in the subject or area that they
can communicate with to explain the details of a story or to provide
leads to other subjects of stories yet to be reported. They are also
expected to develop their investigative skills to better research and
report stories.
I’ve done my internship under the
guidance of Mr. Sushil Kumar (Chief
Editor).
I got my training at ‘Swatantra Disha Patra’, which is a bi monthly
newspaper. That was not only trained me but also give me a great
experience gaining for me. Hence, I learned many skills of writing and
editing that I cannot get by reading textbooks.
During the course of training duties were concerns with reporting news
desk and editing section. The editor gave responsibilities to report the
news stories with confidence courage and competence not individually
but attached to the senior reporters.
Responsibilities of editing the news were allotted by the organization.
However, during the course of the training certain limitation was also
faced. The training was only for month so being a trainee all
responsibilities and authorities were not given. However, important
thing that I get to know is that in spite of the facts a lot is common
between the print and the electronic media the two are distinctively
different from each other
TRAINING REPORT
During thecourse of four week training, I was given many
assignments by my trainer and I’ve successfully
completed them.
WEEK-1
I was new to the organization as a trainee and a bit
nervous. My trainer taught me about the policies and
strategies of the organization and also taught me how to
write a report.
For writing, a report I had to search and collect the various news data
from the newspapers. Then I used to write news and get it checked by
the senior correspondent. If there were mistakes, I get them corrected.
By learning all these things, I completed my first week of training.
WEEK-2
After learning all these, I started learning of editing the news story. The
stories that I edited was checked by the chief editor Mr. Pawan Singhal
and he explained that how editing is done and how can we edit a story
when I learnt how to edit the copy of newspaper I was provided with
the fresh copies of the newspaper and my second week of training is
over.
WEEK-3
By the third week of training, I learnt how to report for media and how
to prepare that report for newspaper. I learn the main or the key
concepts that should kept in mind while reporting. I was given an
assignment to cover stories told by Mr. sushil. Hence, in this week I
learnt how to report or cover any event and how to write a report on
event.
WEEK-4
By the end of fourth week, I was skilled in reporting and also I attended
many Press Conferences and accordingly submitted to Mr. Sushil to
which he appreciated it. By learning all these things reporting and
editing and the guidelines of journalism, I completed my fourth and last
week of my training.
SELF ASSESMENT
It is very important for a student to know work practically to gain
through theoretical knowledge from institute the basic difference
between an institution and an industry lies in the fact that people in the
industry are more professional in their attitude. The outlook of the
person doing the job in the industry varies fastly from that of today.
The simple great thing to watch and enjoy is teamwork involved. This is
one of the areas where institution lacks unknowingly as even the
institution stress the point of teamwork in any field in which a student
can try and gain during his duration in the industry. Earlier the student
makes a big leap when he jumped from an institution to an industry.
Now with the help of this training method a student feels that the
earlier big jump is now a small step.
While training there, I came to know that it has its own value. For every
industry it is important to have a good teamwork and a good
atmosphere this organization has both the qualities.
Conclusion
During my internship tenure I have learn a lot and I have tried
to put as much of it as I can. I was undergone one month
summer training i.e. from 1 July 2010 to 30 july 2010 at
webvarta under the supervision of Mr. Sushil Kumar. I had learn
about the reporting, editing skills, and writing news reports I
had divided my entire training period into segments of 6 days
reporting and 4 days of editing and filling news and the work
done was checked by Mr. Sushil (chief editor editor). During the
training process the main emphasis was given on both
reporting and writing news reports for the newspaper.
