 INTRODUCTION

Journalism is the activity of gathering, assessing, creating, and presenting news

and information. It is also the product of these activities. Journalism can be

distinguished from other activities and products by certain identifiable

characteristics and practices. The word journalism was originally applied to the

reportage of current events in printed form, specifically newspapers, but with

the advent of radio, television, and the Internet in the 20th century the use of the

term broadened to include all printed and electronic communication dealing

with current affairs. Journalism, the collection, preparation, and distribution of

news and related commentary and feature materials through such print and

electronic media as newspapers, magazines, books, blogs, webcasts, podcasts,

social networking and social media sites, and e-mail as well as through radio,

motion pictures, and television. Journalism is a profession that involves

collecting information about a particular subject, then reporting findings and

conclusions to a wider audience through print, digital or broadcast media.

Journalists report information in the form of investigative reports, news,

features, columns and reviews. The purpose of journalism is to research and

report events that impact people ‘s lives and society in different ways. Different

types of journalism cover various aspects of life that impact society, appeal to
assorted audiences and have varying requirements for objectively reporting

facts.

 Importance of journalism

Journalism plays a significant role in our democratic country. There is a strong

need for the presence of media in one of the largest democracies in the world. In

this 21st century, their role increases dramatically. The purpose of journalism is

based on the function news plays in the lives of people. Journalism is set on the

search for truth. A truth that should be raw and not biased from perspective,

unique as it should and, while open to social debate and further analysis from

several credentialed fields of society, it should never be approached in a way

where it can be weaponized to meet a certain agenda. Journalism should remain

free and ethical, as a source of pure chronic and has a higher responsibility

towards people that overlaps any other concept than the one of truth. The main

base of it all is to focus on transmitting facts and rich information in a way that

it empowers people to make their mind about it. Becoming a journalist is a new

way of contributing to our society. As means and mediums are increasing day

by day, awareness is increasing around us all the time. Journalism highlights

various decisions about lives, communities, societies, and governments. This

allows citizens to be informed on the latest developments on every socially and

politically relevant topic. Journalism is there to shed light on what someone

wants to keep in the dark, to challenge postulates from those given or seeking
power, to inform the citizens about whether the management of our common

resources are good or bad, or to put it precisely: to empower the informed.

Ultimately, journalism remains as a true barrier against the negative tendencies

and aspects of society all over the world. Its responsibility in reporting crime

and abuse of power is still one of the very few lines that many powerful refrains

from crossing. It provides many a unique opportunity for people to embark on a

moral analysis that is focused on the state of affairs, and one that is not limited

by borders, religion, politics or even local mentality. The importance of

journalism comes from people’s right to opinion and expression. As the right to

opinion and expression is not possible without the media or press. Today people

generally depend on media for being informed about the change. Media plays

an important role in any democratic system. Media is the fourth pillar in any

democratic system. Journalism is the voice of voiceless. Journalist acts as a

bridge between high authority and citizens. Mass Communication subject exist

for many decades. Today’s technology adds more prominence in today’s

journalism world. Today a journalist can travel to any part of India to cover any

news. It helps the rest of India know what’s happening on another side of India.

Mass communication, as a subject of study, has existed for decades. The arrival

of technology has brought journalism to even more prominence in today’s

times. Now journalists can make their story or coverage go across the globe and

not limit itself to few people.

  Significance of journalism

Journalism is an investigation and reporting of current world affairs which

include fashion trends, political or general issue and events to a broad audience.

Though there are various purposes for it, the most important aspect is the

freedom of expression. The root of journalism comes from people’s right to

have an opinion. Today people depend on the press on being informed of what’s

happening. The media plays a vital role in a democratic society. Journalism is

for the voice of a voiceless - expressing opinions of all those in our society. It’s

like a bridge between the authorities and people. Therefore, its primary purpose

is to make sure all citizens are aware of their rights. Oscar Wilde once stated -

By giving us the opinion of the uneducated, journalism keeps us in touch with

the ignorance of the community.

The central purpose of journalism is to provide citizen with accurate and

reliable information that they need to function in a free society. This

encompasses myriad roles helping define community, creating Common

language and common knowledge, identifying a community's goals, heroes and

villains and pushing people beyond complacency. This purpose also involves

other requirements such as been entertaining, serving as a Watchdog and

offering voice to the voiceless. Over the time journalism have developed nine

core principles to meet the task they comprise what might be described as the

significance of journalism:

1. Journalism’s first obligation is to the truth Democracy depends on citizen

having reliable, accurate fact put in a meaningful text. Journalism does not

pursue truth in absolute or philosophy sense. But it can and must pursue in a

practical sense. This - journalistic truth is a process that begins with the

professional discipline of assembling and verifying facts. Then journalists try to

convey a fair and reliable account of their meaning, subject to further

investigation. Journalists should be as transparent as possible about sources and

methods so audiences can make their own assessment of the information.

2. Its first loyalty is to citizens The publisher of journalism whether a media

corporation answering to advertisers and shareholders or a blogger with his own

personal beliefs and priorities must show an ultimate allegiance to citizens.

They must strive to put the public interest and the truth above their own self-

interest or assumptions. A commitment to citizens is an implied covenant with

the audience and a foundation of the journalistic business model journalism

provided ―without fear or favour‖ is perceived to be more valuable than

content from other information sources.

3. Its essence is a discipline of verification Journalists rely on a professional

discipline for verifying information. While there is no standardized code as

such, every journalist uses certain methods to assess and test information to

―get it right. ―Being impartial or neutral is not a core principle of journalism.

Because the journalist must make decisions, he or she cannot and cannot be

objective. But journalistic methods are objective. Seeking out multiple

witnesses, disclosing as much as possible about sources, or asking various sides

for comment, all signal such standards. This discipline of verification is what

separates journalism from other forms of communication such as propaganda,

advertising, fiction, or entertainment.

4. Its practitioners must maintain an independence from those they cover

Independence is a cornerstone of reliability. On one level, it means not

becoming seduced by sources, intimidated by power, or compromised by self-

interest. On a deeper level it speaks to an independence of spirit and an open-

mindedness and intellectual curiosity that helps the journalist see beyond his or

her own class or economic status, race, ethnicity, religion, gender or ego.

5. It must serve as an independent monitor of power Journalism has an unusual

capacity to serve as watchdog over those whose power and position most affects

citizens. It may also offer voice to the voiceless. The watchdog role is often

misunderstood, even by journalists, to mean - afflict the comfortable. While

upsetting the applecart may certainly be a result of watchdog journalism, the

concept as introduced in the mid-1600s was far less combative. The watchdog

role also means more than simply monitoring government. The purpose of the

watchdog extends beyond simply making the management and execution of

power transparent, to making known and understood the effects of that power.

This includes reporting on successes as well as failures. Journalists have an

obligation to protect this watchdog freedom by not demeaning it in frivolous use

or exploiting it for commercial gain.

6. It must provide a forum for public criticism and compromise the news media

are common carriers of public discussion, and this responsibility forms a basis

for special privileges that news and information providers receive from

democratic societies. These privileges can involve subsidies for distribution or

research and development (lower postal rates for print, use of public spectrum

by broadcasters, development and management of the Internet) to laws

protecting content and free speech (copyright, libel, and shield laws).

7. It must strive to keep the significant interesting and relevant Journalism is

storytelling with a purpose. It should do more than gather an audience or

catalogue the important. Quality is measured both by how much a work engages

its audience and enlightens it. This means journalists must continually ask what

information has the most value to citizens and in what form people are most

likely to assimilate it. While journalism should reach beyond such topics as
government and public safety, journalism overwhelmed by trivia and false

significance trivializes civic dialogue and ultimately public policy.

8. It must keep the news comprehensive and proportional Journalism is our

modern cartography. It creates a map for citizens to navigate society. As with

any map, its value depends on a completeness and proportionality in which the

significant is given greater visibility than the trivial. Keeping news in proportion

is a cornerstone of truthfulness. The most comprehensive maps include all

affected communities, not just those with attractive demographics. The most

complete stories take into account diverse backgrounds and perspectives.

9. Its practitioners must be allowed to exercise their personal conscience Doing

journalism, whether as a professional writing for a news organization an online

contributor in the public space, involves one’s moral compass and demands a

personal sense of ethics and responsibility. Because - news is important, those

who provide news has a responsibility to voice their personal conscience out

loud and allow others to so well. News organizations do well to nurture this

independence by encouraging individuals to speak their minds. Conversation

and debate stimulate the intellectual diversity of minds and voices necessary to

understand and accurately cover increasingly diverse society. Having a sense of

ethics is perhaps most important for the individual journalist or online

contributor.
  Print media in India

Newspaper can be defined as a printed means of conveying current information.

Today the newspaper in India is a proud institution of our society. While

working as a vehicle of persuasion its basic function is to provide info -

edutainment (information, education and entertainment). It also plays the role of

watch dog of the society. The first newspaper in India was published on 29

January, 1780 by James Augustus Hicky under the British Raj and its name was

The Bengal Gazette. It was also called as Calcutta General Advertiser and

people simply remember it as Hicky’s Gazette. It was very small two sheet

weekly newspaper. And the paper was filled with lots of advertisements with the

name-The Calcutta General Advertiser. In fact, its front page was filled with

advertisements only. After few months of Hicky’s paper Messer B Messinck and

Peter Read brought out the Indian Gazette in November 1780. Many other
newspapers were also started, namely Calcutta Gazette (1784), The Bengal

Journal (1785). In 1785, Richard Johnson. in Madras brought out Madras

Courier in English language. R. William’s Madras Gazette in 1795 and

Humphrey’s India Herald in 1796.

Some of the oldest newspapers in India are Bombay Samachar in Gujarati,

published from Mumbai, 1832; Times of India in English, Mumbai, 1838;

Pioneer in English, Lucknow, 1864; and Amrit Bazar Patrika in English,

Kolkata, 1868. Of course, compared with the teeming population of India the

number of newspapers and their circulation is very small. This is due to the fact

that still a great majority of our countrymen are illiterate. The Indian press

consists of more than 25,000 newspapers/ magazines/periodicals published in

20 different languages with a combined circulation of more than 75 million.

This type of news media used to be the only way of delivering information to

the public. For the generations of the 80s and 90s, print media was the only

media of entertain.

 Digital media

Basically, any form of media which is encrypted in machine-readable form can

be called digital media. Digital media is any media which depends on electronic
devices for its creation, distribution, view, and storage. Popular examples of

digital media include digital games, software, video games, digital videos,

websites, web pages, digital audio (MP3, eBooks, etc.), social media, etc.

Digital media is any form of media that uses electronic devices for distribution.

This form of media can be created, viewed, modified and distributed via

electronic devices.

Digital media is commonly used software, video games, videos, websites, social

media, and online advertising. Digital media often contrasts with print media,

such as printed books, newspapers and magazines, and other traditional or

analog media, such as photographic film, audio tapes or video tapes.

Companies which participate in and invest in the digital media industry are

companies like Amazon, Microsoft, Google, YouTube, Snapchat, Blizzard and

Yahoo. A range of professional’s work in the digital media industry. Traditional

media includes several types of communication technologies, some of which

have existed for hundreds of years.

Newspapers, magazines, books, and other printed materials were among the

first types of traditional media. Those forms of media persist, joined in the 19th

century by the telegraph and in the 20th century by radio and television, the first

examples of mass media. The digital era, however, meant a whole new set of

media transmission methods and devices, with more

developed every year.

These days, most types of digital media fit into one of these main subgroups:

• Audio: Audio forms of digital media include digital radio stations, podcasts,

and audiobooks. Tens of millions of Americans subscribe to digital radio

services such as Apple Music, Spotify, Tidal, Pandora, and Sirius, which

provide a wide range of musical stations and allow users to listen to databases

of millions of songs on demand.

• Video: Many digital media outlets are visual, from streaming movie and

television services such as Netflix to virtual reality surgical simulators used in

medical institutions. One of the biggest players in visual digital media is

YouTube, which hosts billions of videos. Launched in 2005, the website is one

of the most popular destinations on the web.

• Social media: social media includes sites such as Twitter, Facebook,

Instagram, LinkedIn, and Snapchat, which enable their users to interact with one

another through text posts, photographs, and videos, leaving - likes‖ and

comments to create conversations around pop culture, sports, news, politics, and

the daily events of users ‘lives.

• Advertising: Advertisers have made their way into the digital media landscape,

taking advantage of marketing partnerships and advertising space wherever

possible. The internet has moved away from the use of pop-up and auto play

ads, which flooded early websites and drove away visitors. Instead, advertisers
look toward native content and other methods of keeping consumers invested

without overselling their product.

 Electronic media

Electronic media is media that uses electromechanical device to access the

content. This is in similar to social media, which now-a-days are most often

created electronically. Rapid communication through latest technology has

facilitated speedy information gathering and dissemination and this has become

an essential part of the modern society. It was Marshall McLuhan who said that

electronic technology is reshaping and restructuring patterns of social

interdependence and every aspect of our personal life. Extraordinary

information explosion has dramatically shrunk time and distance and have

converted our world into a Global Village. Electronic media have transformed

communication and our ability to share, store and gain information and

knowledge. The widely available media services are changing the ways in

which we live and work and also altering our perceptions and beliefs. Most new

media are in the form of digital media. Electronic media makes communication

easy to connect people from one end to other end by getting them together

through media facilities. people used perform cultural events in various forms

like folk dance, drama, folk events etc. and that media was used to communicate
a message to large amounts of people through print media, social media and

later on by electronic media.

Electronic media is universal in most of the developed world. Electronic media

devices have made their place in modern life. As if now, you can see there are

many social media platforms but electronic media is growing in the wider range

at it is been need of people now-a-days. Electronic media allows information

and ideas to travel almost instantly from its source to the public through the

Internet., electronic media has given billions of people access to information

that they previously would not have had access to. The purpose of using

electronic media can be for many reasons; one of the reasons is that you can use

it to market yourself and anything else from businesses to products and so on.

Electronic media is an efficient way to communicate to one another, either by

the use of media devices and networks or social media sources such as

Television or the Internet these are a few of the many ways you can use

electronic media to your advantage. Television is one of the most used

electronic media devices because franchises can pay for advertisements to show

millions of people, thus bringing in more business for the franchise owner. The

Radio is similar but does not give the audience visuals, just sound. This method

of electronic media can be effective and much more affordable than Television

but does not engage the listeners as much as visual ads. The Internet is one of
the most profitable electronic media devices with This not only spreads through

electronic media but can profit the creator of the web page throughout time.

 Why we should do internship during college

1. Application of education and career exploration. Internships are a great way

to apply the knowledge from the classroom to real-world experience. Learning

is one thing, but taking those skills into the workforce and applying them is a

great way to explore different career paths and specializations that suit

individual interests.

2. Gain experience and increase marketability. Having an internship gives you

experience in the career field you want to pursue. Not only does this give

individuals an edge over other candidates when applying for jobs, it also
prepares them for what to expect in their field and increases confidence in their

work.

3. Networking. Having an internship benefits you in the working environment,

and it also builds your professional network. There is a 1 in 16 chance of

securing a job by connecting with people, so networking is critical. Internships

provide a great environment to meet professionals in the career field you want

to pursue, as well as other interns who have similar interests.

4. National Data. According to a 2016 National Association of Colleges and

Employers Page (NACE) survey, more than 56 percent of graduating seniors

reported taking part in at least one internship. Of those respondents, 56 percent

were paid, while 44 percent were unpaid. Seventy-two percent of those unpaid

internships were credit-bearing.

5. Professionalism. Internships can provide students with the soft skills needed

in the workplace and in leadership positions. In a LinkedIn Skills Report (2018),

57% of people rated soft skills as being more important than technical skills.

Skills, such as communication, leadership, problem-solving, and teamwork can

all be learned through an internship and utilized beyond that experience.

6. Learn how a professional workplace operates. Depending on your major, you

may read about how organizations thrive and function in textbooks, hear from

guest speakers who talk about organizational structures, or dive into case studies

about workplace culture, but nothing compares to living the actual experience.
Internships help students learn all about workplace culture, employee relations,

and leadership structure, which should help them onboard in their first

professional job with more ease than if they haven ‘t had professional

experience.

7. Build your resume. Most organizations and jobs that you apply to following

graduation want employees to have some sort of professional experience, even

for entry-level jobs. In the event that you are a finalist for a position and haven

‘t had an internship experience but the other finalist has, you may lose out on a

job opportunity, so make sure you at least have one internship on your resume

before leaving college to give you a leg up on the competition.

8. Gain professional feedback. Not only will you be helping out the organization

you intern with, but they’ll help you out too. While professors and teachers will

prepare you for the theoretical side of your field and hands-on projects,

internships provide opportunities for receiving feedback from someone who

works in your desired field on a daily basis.

9. Learn from others. It might seem common sense – you’re interning to learn

skills, after all – but don’t forget to purposefully observe others in their job role

to learn the ins and outs of different positions. Consider asking your supervisor

if you can shadow them for a day, along with other people in your department.

Ask to sit in on departmentwide meetings as well. Act like a sponge and soak up
all the information you can during your internship – it will benefit you in the

long run.

10. Figure out what you like and don’t like. While everyone probably wants to

walk away from an internship feeling excited and passionate about the

experience, there’s a silverlining to be found if you didn’t enjoy the job: you’ll

know what you don’t like. According to anarticlefrommonster.com, ― figuring

out what type of job you don’t want while you ‘re interning can help prevent

you from accepting an ill-fitting job when you graduate.

 Different beats

1. SPORTS

Sports journalism is a form of writing that reports on matters pertaining to

sporting topics and competitions. Sports Journalism started in the early 1800s

when it was targeted to the social elite and has transitioned into an integral part

of the news business with newspapers having dedicated sports sections. The

increased popularity of sports amongst the middle and lower class led to the

more coverage of sports content in publications. The appetite for sports resulted
in sports only publications like ESPN and Sports Illustrated. There are many

different forms of sports journalism, ranging from play by play and game recaps

to analysis and investigative journalism on important developments in the sport.

Technology and the internet age has massively changed the sports journalism

space as it is struggling with the same problems that the broader category of

print journalism is struggling with, mainly not being able to cover costs due to

falling subscriptions. New forms of internet blogging and tweeting in the

current millennium have pushed the boundaries of sports journalism. Modern

sports journalism finds its roots as content started to appear in newspapers in the

early 1800s. At the start, the sports sporadically covered horse racing and

boxing. The focus of the coverage would be less on the event itself and more on

the greater social context. Horse races between the North and South and boxing

bouts between US and England garnered much interest from the social elite.

During the 1820s and 30s, the primary demographic target for newspapers was

the social elite as newspaper was too expensive for the common man.

Approaching the 20th century, several important changes occurred that lead to

the increased saturation of sports journalism in the mainstream. The first was

the advent of the penny press which allowed for cheaper and more tabloid style

of newspaper production. Newspapers also began using advertising to pay for

their production costs instead of relying on circulation. These two factors lead to

a change in the target demographic from social elite upper class to the lower-

middle class. Simultaneously, the Industrial Revolution was creating a rapidly

expanding middle class who were moving from the country side to booming

urban developments. The change in the target demographic meant that

newspaper publishers were looking for content that appealed to the masses so

they turned to sports. These developments also coincided with the rising

popularity of baseball which was rapidly becoming "America's Pastime".

2. HEALTH

Beat reporting, as opposed to general assignment reporting, gives journalists the

opportunity

to focus on one area. Many beats are defined geographically, others focus on

important issues

like health, education or the environment.

Beat reporters develop in-depth knowledge. They get to know experts related to

their beat and create a thorough contact list of people to help them tell

compelling and credible stories.

Beat reporters should stay up to date on all major developments about their

topic.

Being a beat reporter allows journalists to delve much deeper and pushes them

to uncover enterprise stories. Beat reporters help bring context to stories and

explain how each story affects the audience. My biggest piece of advice is to
document everything. You will forget a person’s name. You will misplace their

contact information. You should write down what you did before you leave

works every single day. I kept a word doc open all day and would add notes as I

worked. Write down every interaction you have in person, on the phone, via

email or social

media. Include their name, title, phone number, email address, physical address

and photo if possible. Include any links to related stories. This is especially

helpful when there’s breaking news on your beat. But it also pays off in the long

run because you can search for key words that perhaps never made it to your

publication. This will help you with enterprise and indepth stories.

-key suggestions for beat reporters:

 Make a contact list of all officials, activists, and experts related to your

beat.

 Add calendar alerts to remind you to regularly check in on people related

to your beat.

 Follow related people and organizations on social media.

 Bookmark websites you should check regularly.

 Add related meetings to your calendar. Decide which meetings you’ll

attend.

 Which public records and databases are the most helpful?

 Who are interesting (non-official) people you can feature?

  What are the most important issues on your beat?

3. EDUCATION

Education defines the lives of the people living in a community. Education is

not limited to the classroom, as it takes place anywhere and everywhere.

Holding such a crucial part in lives of the people, education is one of the most

important news beats in journalism. The education beat is a wide umbrella,

covering everything from preschool through higher education, and from school

funding to learning outcomes. With the education beat reporting, the readers get

to know the latest on education. The education sector is fast evolving with new

innovations and technologies. With the recent happenings in the world, the

education beat is there to inform the audience of the recent happenings in the

education system so as to adjust or take precautions. This beat also brings to

light the excellence and progress of the education sector in a particular

community, state or country. Reporters covering education need to understand

the structure, staffing and economics of the school systems they cover, which

may vary widely. They should be prepared to decipher statistics and to compare

budgets over time to see where the money goes and what happens as a result.

Covering education also means tracking statistical data such as dropout and

graduation rates, teacher retention and vacancy rates, principal turnover and the

results of high-stakes testing.

-Areas covered in education beat:

Following are the areas which are covered in education beat:

• School board and PTA meetings

• Voices of schoolchildren, parents, college students etc.

• Structure, staffing and economics of the school systems and other educational

institutions

• tracking statistical data such as dropout and graduation rates

• teacher retention and vacancy rates

• principal turnover and the results of high-stakes testing

• policy issues like the certification process for teachers or efforts to end social

promotion

• Ranking schools’ performance considering demographics like race, income or

parents’ education.

• Reporting on cut-offs of the colleges

• Technologies used in the educational sector

• Funds allocated the sector

• Public and private schooling and what is happening in universities and

colleges regarding academic activities and developments

• co-curricular activities, unions are highlighted in the news stories

• literacy rate and programs to increase literacy rate

  CONSUMER PROBLEM

In some newspaper, retail consumer prices and problems and problems of

consumers also find place. Whether enough milk is coming to the city or there is

shortage of vegetables or there is undue hike in the retail prices of some

commodities, these matters make important news for readers. Similarly, there

are cases of deficiency of service, which arise by invocation of the provision of

consumer Protection Act, 1986; these make news too.

 SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY

This field is becoming more and more important from the reporting point of

view and many newspapers have appointed reporters with a science background

for this purpose. However, this kind of qualification is not essential as a physics

expect will be as ignorant about medicine as a layman. Science technology,

whenever reported in newspaper, it isa for the layman. if a non-professional

reports, readers will understand it more easily for he will be on par with lay

reader

 CRIME AND DEFAMATION

While writing crime reports a reporter must be careful to avoid defamation. A of

defamation may arise over the publication of statement by someone containing

defamatory reference to another person or even a corporate body one must

remember that the fact that the person making the statement is named in the

copy is answerable for it does not institute by aggrieved party the use of

adjective of a pejorative nature with respect to person should be avoided in all

circumstances. The law however provides complete immunity against action for

defamation in the publication of proceedings of liable for it in a court of law by

way of persecution or proceedings for damages by persons complaining of

defamation if the report is published in good faith and is substantially true

similarly publication of a substantially true report of the proceedings of a court

of justice or of the result of such proceedings enjoy complete immunity and no

active for defamation can be brought by an aggrieved person on the basis of

publication of such proceedings reporters unaware of the rights of citizen often

mention a person or persons by name as having been arrested in connection

with a crime this is hazardous arrest for a criminal offence tends to the lower the

public image of a person and arrest is confirmed only when a person is produce

before a magistrate or released on bail by a commissioner of police (wherever

so impowered). until then a person even if taken to a police station cannot

strictly be described as arrested for he may be allowed to go after interrogation

and for report has described him as having been arrested he can sue the paper

for liable us a safe way to repot the matter is to say that a person detained for
interrogation the arrest together with the name can be mentioned after the

person is produced before a magistrate this however does not apply to arrest of

outlaws or persons declared absconding similarly person taken into custody for

political offences can also be named since political offences do not involve any

moral turpitudes and thus there is no question of lowering of public image.

 MODE OF INTERNSHIP

It was an online kind of internship in which we had to edit news reports on daily

basis. Sometimes we had to visit the office and sometimes it’s like work from

home. There were many events that we attended where we had to collect reports

and had to write about it.

We learned translating of news from english to hindi and vice versa. Also, we

learned editing, scripting, translation, news printing and etiquettes.

  LEARNING SUMMARY & CONCLUSION

Every task is aim-oriented. A focused goal and an optimistic approach towards

any work is the foremost thing behind a successful accomplishment. My

internship at company was also a goal-oriented exposure; I also simultaneously

fulfilled my objectives, which are:

• To get a practical training at a professional organization, a requirement

according to the university’s directives.

• To gain awareness of overall industry and it’s functioning.

• To learn firsthand experience about how an agency works.

• To develop contacts in industry, this might be helpful in later stages of our

careers.

• To get the feel of real-world working situation, which is quite different from

the stimulated industry atmosphere of practical training in the college.

• The organization was fully supportive.

The colleagues were really helpful. I got to know new people from the field and

made new contacts. The office staff made us comfortable. It provides needed

knowledge, attitude and skills. I did my internship in the field of Content

Writing. During my internship, I got an opportunity to learn practical

knowledge as it was different from what we learn in college theoretically. In

college we studied theoretical but in internship we acquired practical knowledge

as first we all learnt the importance of being punctual, working together in a

group to accomplish the given task on time, learning from our mistakes and

making it better than before.

We already had a WhatsApp group where our supervisor also added me and

with her, we had all the content writers, designers etc. Our supervisor used to

conduct meetings through and hold the conference in the group for discussion of

the various ways and responsibility of the individual to make our team work.

Our separate group was already made for content writing so that our topic does

not clash. There was no word limit count. We have liberty to write as many

articles we want.

In Content writing, I had to ensure the plagiarism and grammatical mistakes

since our articles were going to get published in the Official site. I had learnt in

what form to write a good article. In terms of content writing, it really enhanced

my way of writing an article and it also improved my grammatical knowledge

and boosted my confidence of writing a write-up for an organization.

Training and development is simply defined as the formal, ongoing efforts that

are made within an organization to improve the performance of its employees.

Training and development can also be described as an educational process

which involves the sharpening of skills, concepts, changing of attitude and

gaining more knowledge to enhance the performance of employees. While new

methods are under continuous development, several common training methods

have proved to be highly effective. Some notable examples include orientations,

class room lectures, case studies, role playing, simulations and computer-based

training. Training and development programs may be focused on individual

performance or team performance. In order to maximize the effectiveness of

training and development program, organizations must constantly assess and

identify their employees’ current training and development needs to prepare

them for their next positions to achieve higher growth.

Organizations have to recognize that different employees will have different

needs and these needs will change over the time as these workers continue in

their careers. When the organization invests in improving the knowledge and

skills of its employees, the investment is returned in the form of more

productive and effective employees. In nutshell Training is crucial for

organizational development and its success which is indeed fruitful to both

employers and employees of an organization.

 Summary

Training helps students to get a practical experience of all the skills of

journalism and in having handon experience if maximum number of things.

Training also gives us the opportunity to work with industry professionals and

to prove our calibers there. I have learnt a lot during my training period.
1. I learnt writing for print media. I came to know that writing for books and

guides is not just writing as we normally do. There are several points which

have to be keeping in mind while writing, rewriting and collecting data.

2. I learnt the tact of communicating with people when I was given task of data

collection.

3. I have also learnt that to be good in this field you require certain basic

qualifications or skills which are as follows:

A. Have excellent writing skills, and awareness of the need for factual and legal

accuracy.

B. Have good listening and questioning skills.

C. Have a good standard of spelling, grammar and punctuation.

D. Have the ability to absorb information quickly.

E. Be determined and persistent.

F. Be able to work under pressure and tight deadlines.

G. Be interested in current affairs at all levels.

H. Be interested in current affairs at all levels.

I. Be a good team leader.

These skills are not mentioned in any book by some teacher in classroom. They

are learnt by working in this profession, by joining and working in a media

house. I have also learnt that to be good journalist one doesn’t have to be good

writer, a good speaker, a good listener etc. one has to be well rounded and

mentally and emotionally developed person. A person should be one who can

handle himself/herself in any situation that might arise.

 Conclusion and Suggestions

If I am offered to join the same company in future, I would like to make the

working more flexible. What I felt while working there was that the pressure

has been put suddenly on a group of some people. That burden needed to be

removed by distributing the amount of work to a more people. The work is

deadline based but many times they are hurried to present the proposals early.

As the desks are also surrounded by other companies there is a state of

confusion while working so I would like to make that environment easier and

more comfortable. But working there is fun in its own sense.
