 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. Because of the availability of 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 a single click of a button ads will fill the webpage and is

definite to catch a few glimpses for fellow web surfers. 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

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".

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?

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.

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.

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.
