1 . I N T R O D U C T I O N   O F   T H E   S E C T O R  The media sector is a huge sector with diverse applications and workings. The media sector is composed of various operations ranging from collection, composing, marketing,and gathering, dissemination, financing, broadcasting, publishing of information, for the betterment and educating, informing the public at large.The media sector consists of various mediums through which all these operations arecarried out on instant basis. The broadcast media, the print media, radio, online and inshort traditional and nontraditional media. Media sector serves the greater interest of   public at large. The media sector is governing by large organization and groups with  professional expertise and skills. These skills and professionalism is then transferred in tosuch high level of success that in terns establishes the public opinion.The media sector can be defined as comprising the creation, modification, transfer anddistribution of media content for the purpose of mass consumption, where:

Media contentcom pr i s e s   a r t ,   r epo r t s   o f   f a c t s ,   and exp re s s ions  o f   i dea s   o r   opinions in a form that allows these to be consumed independently (in time or in place) from their creation.

Mass consumptionr e q u i r e s   t h a t   t h e   c r e a t i o n ,   m o d i f i c a t i o n ,   t r a n s f e r   o r   distribution is undertaken without knowledge of the specific identity of the peopleto whom the content is to be made available.The meaning of each of these definitions is best understood by identifying what theyexclude.The media sector involves a process through which, first, the fruits of human creativitya r e conve r t ed t o med i a con t en t and , s econd , t h i s med i a con t en t i s d i s t r i bu t ed t o , and consumed by, an audience unconnected to its original creation. The essence of the media sector is the separation between creation and distribution, reflecting the use of the term"medium" to describe a means of communication.Thus , a b roadcas t (whe the r l i ve o r no t ) o r a r e co rd ing o f t he pe r fo rmance o r speech , which can be consumed independently of the speech or performance itself, would bemedia content. The speech script or musical score used by the performer is potentially media content, as it is capable of mass consumption; but its creation or distribution onlyf o r m s   p a r t   o f   t h e   m e d i a   s e c t o r   w h e r e   t h i s   i s   u n d e r t a k e n   f o r   t h e   p u r p o s e   o f  m a s s consumption. Speech writing exclusively for the speaker's use, with no prospect of any other distribution, is not a media activity.The media sector concerns mass consumptionThe   r eq u i r eme n t   t ha t  med i a   be   fo r  mass   consumpt ion   exc ludes  va r i ou s   soc i a l   and commercial exchanges where, to the extent that content is created, the audience, reader or r e c ip i en t i s a spec i f i c i nd iv idua l o r a " c lo sed g roup" . The supp ly o f vo i ce t e l ephony services allows the transmission of audio content from one person to another, but fallsoutside the media sector due

Page 8: Internship Report of Avt Khyber News

[Type text]

to the private nature of the communication. Similarly, inconsultancy industries, where firms take on commissions to provide bespoke advice toclients, the consumer of any content created (such as written reports) is a specific party;t h e s e   s e r v i c e s   t h e r e f o r e   l i e   o u t s i d e   t h e   m e d i a   s e c t o r   ( b u t   t h i s   d o e s   n o t   pr e c l u d e con su l t ancy   f i r ms   sup p ly ing  med i a   con t en t   a s   pa r t   o f   t he i r   bu s in e s s ,   e . g .  ma rke t i ng  publications).For the purpose of defining the media sector, mass consumption is not simply a matter of numbers. The actual audience or readership for some media content might be very small,whilst forms of private communication might involve a large number of people (e.g. an e-mail to a very large group of recipients) yet fall outside the media sector.The supply of media content may be restricted and controlled in various ways, but this remains within the media sector so long as the restriction is not based on the specificident i ty of the people (or par t ies) to whom the content i s to be made avai lable . For   instance, access to media content may be restricted through pricing arrangements, bygeographic location, or because specific equipment is needed to consume the content.Historically, the main industries within the media sector have been television and radio  b r o a d c a s t i n g ,   t h e   f i l m   a n d   r e c o r d e d   m u s i c   i n d u s t r i e s ,   a n d   t h e   p ri n t e d   p r e s s   ( e . g . newspaper and book publishing). Connected to these areas is the advertising industry,which cuts across all media channels. More recently, the Internet has provided a further channel through which a range of media content — from text to graphical and audiovisualcontent — can be distributed.In  par ts  of   the  media  sec tor ,   the   t radi t ional  d is t r ibut ion  channels  have   involved   the transfer of content to a physical copy (e.g. through the printing of a newspaper or thecopying of a VHS video casse t te ) fo l lowed by a logis t ica l process (e .g . de l ivery of  newspapers to households, supply through high street retail). In other parts of the sector,content has been distributed through network infrastructure that was essentially devotedto   tha t  purpose ,   such  as   te r res t r ia l   t ransmiss ion  ne tworks   for   te levis ion  and  rad io  broadcasting.With convergence, and more specifically digitalization, the same (digital) content is oftendistributed to consumers through a variety of distribution channels. These distributionchannels are not used exclusively by the media sector. For instance, a movie might betransmitted through a digital cable network, or downloaded from the Internet; these samenetworks  are  a lso  used   to  provide  services  outs ide   the media  sec tor ,   such  as  voice telephony services. Media sector as encompassing broad groups of supply chains thatmap  the  or ig ina l  c rea t ion   (or   sourc ing)  of  conten t   to   i t s   f ina l   (mass)  consumpt ion, involving various distribution networks and logistical arrangements.

2 .   O V E R V I E W   O F   O R G A N I Z A T I O N 2.1 BRIEF HISTORYThe channel was launched in July 2004 with a very thorough home work done by the

AVTcreative team. As the aim was not to roll out a run of the mill channel but a channelw i t h a s l o g a n o f “Pr ide o f the Proud” , i t b ecame a r e co rd h i t even du r ing t he t e s t transmission phase.

Fig 2.1Due to this immense popularity, this channel moved on to regular transmission within arecord short period of time and on to 24 hours transmission within seven months of its launch. The popularity of this Channel is not restricted to only the Pukhtuns of Pakistan but also of Afghanistan, Middle East, Australia and the Far East where it has capturedviewers in more than 90% Pukhtuns households.Within this short span of its history,AVT Khyber, with its main studios at Islamabad,has opened its centers with studio facilities in Peshawar, Quetta, Karachi and Dubai. Ithas its marketing offices located in Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad, Peshawar, Quetta andDubai. It has its news reporters located in all District Headquarters of NWFP, PukhtunsDistricts of Baluchistan, Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad and entire Tribal Belt of NWFPinc lud ing  Wana   and  So u th  Waz i r i s t an .   I t   ha s   i t s  Bu r eau  Of f i c e s /S t i ng e r s   i n  Kabu l , Jalalabad, Kandahar, Herat, Mazar Sharif and Dubai. To man these offices and centers, ith a s a w o r k f o r c e o f o v e r 2 0 0 y o u n g a n d e d u c a t e d m a l e a n d f e m a l e w o r k e r s w h o a r e working day and night to make it a success.AVT Khyberhas a very talented team of programmers who produce more than 90% of  t h e p r o g r a m s i n - h o u s e . I t i s a c o m p l e t e f a m i l y c h a n n e l w i t h o v e r 6 0 f r e s h p r o g r a m s including more than 30 hours of live shows produced every week ranging in durationfrom 30 minutes to 2 hours. Only few entertainment dramas are outsourced to market  producers, which also is by design to encourage Pukhtuns artists in the private sector.AVT Khyberalso had the distinction of devising a system of feedback for improving itscontents and programs on a continuous basis. Through a scientifically planned system of web sites and e-mails, we encourage our viewers to contact us on daily basis giving their impressions and suggestions on fresh programs. In addition, we also take live calls fromviewers in which they are encouraged to critically analyze our contents, our methods of   presentations and styles of our various anchors/presenters. We hold daily de-briefing andcontinuously incorporate changes in the light of such useful comments and suggestions.This system has made the channel interactive as well as provided a sense of ownership too u r v i e w e r s .   O u r a c h i e v e m e n t i s   t h a t   o u r v i e w e r s n o w c a l lAVT Khyberas “OurChannel” and we refer to it as “Your Channel”.AVT Khyber on can be tuned on:

Fig 2.2MISSION STATEMENTTo provide posit ive  entertainment for   the Pukhtuns while  explaining their  codes of  hospitality, honor and pride in the right perspective.BACKGROUNDPukhtuns are a unique nation mainly inhabiting the Western Frontier Regions of Pakistan,Eastern and Central Afghanistan, the Gulf States and sporadically spread over the entireglobe from Central Asia to Europe, North America, Australia and Entire Asia. They arehardworking, innovative and an extremely dynamic nation having a natural ability tostandout in any religious, ethnic or cultural group. Historically they have been extremely proud of their identity and have always been admired for their love for independence andadherence to their cultural values. Over 50 million people around the globe speak Pashto. And yet it is the only language of its size that, despite the emerging trend of local media, did not have a television channelof its own. AVT Khyber filled that vacuum.

NATURE OF ORGANIZATIONAs the nature and environment of the Avt Khyber news channel is concern I foundit very pleasant and friendly. It is a private organization with policies and workingenvironment best suited for getting best performance and outcomes. Every parta n d   e v e r y   o n e   a t t a c h e d   t o   t h e   o r g a n i z a t i o n   i s   h a r d   w o r k i n g  d e d i c a t e d   a n d committed to his work and organization.Everyone in the organization works in a friendly atmosphere where everyone feelsrelax and there is boss and subordinate.Every one shares his own in this channel that I found as the mean of success of this channel.The organization where I did my internship was headed by MR. Hasan khan Headof current news and current affairs, a very renowned personality in the Pakistanimarket of media. He is a very dedicated and hardworking person with open heartto help out every person in the organization. He leads the team from front with thecandle of success. Due to his wide experience in the field of media he is able tolead the channel and its individual in the form of a team. He motivates his teamm e m b e r s   a l l   t h e   t i m e s ,   w h i c h   m a k e s   t h e   o r g a n i z a t i o n   a   p l ac e   t o   w o r k   w i t h dedication and heart.Everyone in the organization helps the other person in his/her daily work; theyoften share their work with other to help him/she out. This is the cooperationwhich this organization has the most.The flow of communication and information in the organization is downward aswell as upward through the same line horizontally.In the upward communication the strategies are designed and sent to the level atwhich the second line of management lies they then implement and distribute themessage to the lower level which then takes it in to consideration. There existsindividual who belong to different languages such as Pashto, Urdu, as well asAfghani.T h e r e   a r e   m i x e d   w o r k e r s   f e m a l e   a s   w e l l   a s   m a l e s   o p e r a ti n g   i n   d i f f e r e n t department with good communication and friendly environment found femaleworkers doing their job with ease and satisfaction because they don’t feel anydiscrimination in the regard of being female, the environment is such that theywork happily and confidently as per my observation.2 . 3   C O M P I T I T O R SAs Avt Khyber news is a regional Pashto language channel and its operation is limited toPashto and English understanding audiences therefore there is no such compete ting forceavailable for them in the media market within Pakistan but new Pashto channels are goingto be launched soon in Pakistan which will then create complex competition betweenthese media channels.For the time being the channel is competing with other channels available in Pakistan thisis for the reason that the management want to provide full time information and currentaffairs program on Avt Khyber news to have a competition edge in the

market.Although they are striving to get their hold on the market for providing good news and current affairs information and programs.

Fig 4.1Assignment editor with deputy assignment editor for supporting his/her work governs thenew s ro om.  Ass ignmen t   ed i t o r   and   some t imes  dep u ty   a s s ignmen t   ed i t o r   a s s i gn   t he reporters daily work on different beats. After covering the beats assigned they are sent tothe assignment desk where they are processed by the assignment editor and given final shape. The news sent by the reporter is edited and correct because the reporter makes onthe spot necessary correction if it has something wrong.After this process of correction and editing the news item is sent to the composer wherethe news is composed on a computer system in a separate file where it gets saved. It is thecase with monitored news, in this process the news is collected from different televisionchannels where they provide fresh news of importance. The crew on the computer systemnotes downs the news being displayed on the monitoring TV sets. They make news storyfrom them and send it to the assignment editor where he makes necessary correction or edit it.The crews working on the computer system are sub editors they themselves make thenews story from different sources that is free of errors and credible. The same news frommonitoring after final look is sent to the composition stage, where its gets composed and saved.  News  i tems are  a lso  sent   through Fax  machine   f rom di f ferent   loca t ions  and bureaus , the fax machine i s ac t ive 24 hours a day. News i tems f rom repor ters andcorrespondents organizations etc are received on fax machine. The news story or itemreceived on fax machine is a full story with all the editing done.The assignment editor checks such story and send it to the composition if it is of valueand importance. It is the case with news items received from telephone calls, but there issome difference between news attains from telephone call and news attain from other ways. The news story is on oral foam and the subeditor has to collect news from that person either reporter or some other source and write it down on a page, afterwards hecorrects and makes the story readable for the audience, he gives it a final shape after making it based on the rule of Inverted pyramid style of News. The news is composedand saved as well.After all this process taking place in newsroom a bundle of news items are collected. Theslugof these news items are obtained and sent to the deputy assignment editor where heor she selects news based on importance and value.The news items are then selected and arundown

list is prepared where the news itemsare arranged in order of importance such as shown below

In the newsroom I came across a word being used for ticker news or flash news. Tickersare the news that runs down at the bottom of screen displayed in text form.These are commonly called as flash news.They are in English as well in Pashto.One of the software is used to run this ticker news called as PGS this is connected to anetwork and then directly to the transmission room where it reaches after being added toit and then refreshed.From the transmission this news ticker or flash news runs directly.D i f f e r en t s ec t i ons a r e g iven on t he so f twa re ’ s f rom whe re we may t r e a t t he news a s  breaking, regional, business,

After this VTR is some time used,VTR is a device, which is called as video tape recorder, which is connected to a computer system by the help of which news item of importance is recorded and catch in a DV.The monitoring room or section consists of a network of few computers with software’sinstalled for capturing news items. A computer system with FTP (File transfer protocol)software to receive news footages or packages from different sources.Different news organization or reporters etc sends their footages or coverings on this FTPsystem. Mostly the footages captured are sent to the NLE section where they are editedand made necessary changes so that the footage may look good to the audience.Also In th is sec t ion a crew of sub edi tors who edi t the news footages or packagescol lec ted   in   the  moni tor ing  sec t ion .   In  mos t  cases   repor ters   send  the i r  packages  or   footages on DV, which requires some editing, and correction, which is also carried out, inthis section of monitoring by the sub editors.The software’s used for editing purposes are:Adobe PremiereAdobe PhotoshopU lead.3D Max. EtcIn this ministering section as I was told that we are registered with Reuters for gettingupdated footages of fresh and new events taking place all around the world. Reuters is  paid on monthly basis some amount for providing this facility.This is one of the biggest sources of getting footages. Footage gets download on thesystem where the Reuters have provided them with a system composed of equipments,and a computer system with its own software through which the file is downloaded andsaved in a file or folder.These footages are then sent to the subeditor network share folder where the sub editor  for editing receives it, as the footage gets edited a Voice over is added on it.  The personwho belongs to the reporting crew records the voice over. The Reuters footages also havea pre made script in English language, which is then converted or translated in to Urdu,Pashto as in AVT Khyber news case. Then we get the final shape of footage in shape of a package for displaying it in the news.This is all what I gone through in the monitoring section.4.3 NLE (NON LINEAR EDITING)This is the section that I covered in my third week of internship in Avt Khyber news. NLE means non-linear editing. A non-linear editing system (NLE) is a video editing(NLVE) o r aud io ed i t i ng (NLAE) sys t em, wh ich can pe r fo rm r andom acce s s on t he source material. Non-linear editing Non-linear editing for film and television post production is a modern editing methodwhich involves being able to access any frame in a video clip with the same ease as anyother. This method is similar in concept to the "cut and paste" technique used in film editing from the beginning. However, when working with film, it is a destructive process,as the actual film negative must be cut. Non-linear, non-destructive methods began toappear with the introduction of digital video technology.Video and audio data are first captured to hard disks or other digital storage devices. Thedata is either recorded directly to the storage device or is imported from another source.Once imported they can be edited on a computer using any of a wide range of software.In non-linear editing, the original

Page 20: Internship Report of Avt Khyber News

[Type text]

source files are not lost or modified during editing.Professional editing software records the decisions of the editor in an edit decision list(EDL),  which  can  be   in terchanged wi th  o ther  edi t ing   too ls .  Many genera t ions  andvariations of the original source files can exist without needing to store many differentcopies, allowing for very flexible editing. It also makes it easy to change cuts and undo previous decisions simply by editing the edit decision list (without having to have thea c t u a l   f i l m   d a t a   d u p l i c a t e d ) .   L o s s   o f   q u a l i t y   i s   a l s o   a v o i d e d   d u e   t o n o t   h a v i n g   t o repeatedly re-encode the data when different effects are applied.Compared  to   the   l inear  method  of   tape- to- tape  edi t ing ,  non- l inear  edi t ing  offers   theflexibility of film editing, with random access and easy project organization. With the editdecision lists, the editor can work on low-resolution copies of the video. This makes it possible to edit both standard-definition broadcast quality and high definition broadcastquality very quickly on normal PCs which do not have the power to do the full processingof the huge full-quality high-resolution data in real-time.The costs of editing systems have dropped such that non-linear editing tools are nowwithin the reach of home users. Some editing software can now be accessed free as weba p p l i c a t i o n s ,   s o m e ,   l i k e   C i n e l e r r a   ( f o c u s e d   o n   t h e   p r o f e s s i o n a l   ma r k e t ) ,   c a n   b e downloaded free of charge, and some, like Microsoft's Windows Movie Maker or AppleComputer's movie, come included with the appropriate operating system.A computer for non- l inear edi t ing of v ideo wi l l usual ly have a v ideo capture card tocapture analog video and/or a FireWire connection to capture digital video from a DVcamera, with its video editing software. Modern web based editing systems can takevideo directly from a camera phone over a GPRS or 3G mobile connection, and editingcan take place through a web browser interface, so strictly speaking a computer for videoediting does not require any installed hardware or software beyond a web browser and aninternet connection.Various editing tasks can then be performed on the imported video before it is exported toanother medium, or MPEG encoded for transfer to a DVD.These equipments are most commonly used in NLE sectionsTwo VCRs(video tape machines), preferably with AV (audio and video) outputs. If youd o n ' t   h a v e   A V   o u t p u t s ,   y o u   c a n   u s e   t h e   R F   ( a e r ia l )   o u t p u t s   i n s t e a d . Note:If you only have one VCR, you can use a camcorder as the second VCR.At least onevideo monitor, but preferably two. Professional monitors are best but youcan use televisions if necessary.Connectingcables.Thetapes(s)

you wish to edit and a blank tape to edit onto (this will become the master  tape).4.4 NEWS PRODUCTIONIn the fourth week of my internship program I worked in the News production section.This is one of the important sections in a news channel. Production room is the placewhere all the news production takes place. This is a task, which must be done with careand responsibility.The main constituents of news production are:

A Producer 

Assistant producer 

An editor 

A text writer also an editorA technical engineer 

Technician

ElectricianThe equipments used in the production room are

An audio video consol

A switcher 

VT system

VDT (video tape recorder)

Computer system

Three to four TV setsThe process of the news production starts when the composer prompts the news items.One printed copy is given to the studio section to the anchor while the other copy is sendto the production room. The producer checks the news and rundown and asks the anchor to come and sit in the news studio for the recording of news.The producer takes the rundown and asks the anchor to read the news based on the rundown in order so that it may be easy for the editor to grab the news items in quick timeon the software such as adobe premiere. The producer through a mike connected to theanchor guide and tells him what to do and what not.In the news production the recording starts when the producer calls the anchor on themike get ready, the anchor make himself ready after which the producer tell him standbyand then Cue, with this cue the anchor starts reading out news. The producer through adevice called as console adjusts the audio. Various devices are attached to the consolesuch as anchor mike headphone, telephone line for beeper or call in between news.At the s tar t of the news the f i rs t take i s of ten a Master shot , in master shot the wholestudio is shown with background effects. This is done by the help of a switcher attach tothe computer system. Followed by the solo shot which is then followed through all ther e c o r d i n g   o f   n e w s .   I n   t h i s   t i m e   t h e   p r o d u c e r   n o t e s   d o w n   t h e   m i s t a

k e s   a n d   m a k e s necessary announcements when require to the anchor. If the news read by the anchor goeswrong the producer as a mistake records it and write it on the page as take.If there occur a pause it is noted as a pause.If there occurs repetition of word or sentences he also note it down and if the producersthinks that the error is not that much harming he forgives re recording and corrects it inthe editing process’s f he things that the mistake or the repetition is brutal he says thatanchor to correct the error in order to be error free during editing and to save time.The producer told me that time and decision-making is very important thing you must befollowing all the time. This is for the fact that at times we don have footage or such reportto be added in detail news we have to then thing what is the first available thing that wecan add to it may be a picture or some map that illustrate the story.There is constant pressure on the producer in the newsroom because news is poured fromthe newsroom and he gets record it in very concise time. In such situation the producer has to be patient and cool minded to handle such deadlines and pressure. And it is thecase with other mistakes. In this way the news is recorded I the production room.At times the producer asks the anchor to take a call from a reporter or correspondent onissue or news item that need explanation. This is called as Beeper.In the case of beeper a wire is plugged in the consol where the voice of the telephone or  beeper is adjusted.Most important here I may say that the news recording takes place in three steps such as:OPENING OF NEWS:In   the opening  of  news  the anchor   in t roduces  h im and  welcomes   the audience   for  watching the news.Headlines:In the headline section the anchor read outs all the headlines that are written on three or four pages.Break in between news:A break is taken announcing will meet in a while after a short break.On camera news:Then comes the on camera news, in this part of recording news audiences gets the anchor visual expressions take are being displayed on camera ,the facial expression of anchor hisreading of news ,hand moments, in simple whatever the camera catches from the anchor is been recorded by the sub editor in the production room. These are simply the shortheadlines of the news item after which the details news are made.Voice over:In the voice over section of news production the detail of the news is recorded, here it isnot necessary to look at the moments or behavior or the anchor on camera, but the actualt h ing i s t he vo i ce and i t s f l uency . I t i s because t ha t t he de t a i l news i s vo i ced ove r on footage a map, a happenings, a picture etcClosing of news:In the closing of the news the anchor thanks the audiences by saying for thank you for   being with us for this bulletin, and for further news stay with us, keep watching Khyber news.TT or simply Title

I came across this word from sub editor when he told me that we use TT when we want todisplay our channel id during the news broadcast. Its time duration ranges from 5 to 10seconds.The news is made based on two processes such as recorded news and live.In t he r e co rded s egmen t o f news t he news i s r e co rded a s s a id above , bu t i n t he l i ve transmission of news the process is a little different the news anchor reads out the newsand it is sent to the transmission section from where its gets broadcast.The news gets recorded on the VTR in a DV for office and record keeping purpose.As all of the news gets record on the computer system, then comes the editing process here we see two people working hands to hands the producer and the editor in the case of recorded news.The p roduce r t e l l s t he ed i t o r how to a r r ange t he news i t ems i n o rde r o f r undown the  producer can arrange the news based on his own perception of the news as well he canarrange the news other then Rundown because if he things this news is more important then he can tell the editor to add that one.The producer tells the editor to add either a picture, and image, footage or package; mapmay be general or simply a map, a report or such things, which illustrates the news items.In the headlines mostly small footages or sometimes maps and pictures of event took   place are added, while in the main News the full detailed footages and packages with  beepers are inserted.In the end the headlines are repeated in some news with the same headlines as earlier.Beeper:In the case of a beeper or telephone call live or recorded from a reporter or a politician or any other person to whom the news story relates is added his/her picture ,with a telephoneset picture with news text at bottom and reporter or anchor picture asshown below.

Interaction:A t e rm used a s i n t e r ac t i on i n wh ich a pe r son o the r t han r epo r t e r o r ancho r mee t s o r   interview the concern person to whom the news item relates asks questions or gets his/her interview is somewhat different in display from the beeper or telephone call as shown below.

Some times as the Beeper gets old means that it is recorded two three hours earlier and an e w s a n c h o r j o i n s t h e s t u d i o f o r n e w s t h e b e e p e r w h i c h i s t a k e n b y t h e o l d a n c h o r i s changed in a way that the questions asked by the previous anchor are removed and onlythe answers that are given by the reporter or person is taken as beeper.4.5 NEWS STUDIO:The news studio is the place where all the news is recorded. This is the place where the anchor sits on a chair with a table in front for having the props and gets on with the newsreading. The studio consists of the following components such asFill lightCool light Neck mikeCamera for recording the solo image of anchor Another camera for taking the master shot at the start of the news.Teleprompter Coaxial wiresPlasma screenA computer systemThe news studio walls are covered such material so that the voice don’t get interminglewith other such voices outside. The walls and the adjacent areas are covered with black  coating to get a good amount of light on the camera.The operation in the studio is simple as the anchor reads the news from the teleprompter a n d i t s g e t s r e c o r d e d i n t h e p r o d u c t i o n r o o m b y t h e h e l p o f a c a m e r a , t h e c a m e r a i so p e r a t e d   b y   t h e   c a m e r a   m a n   t h e   w h o l e   e q u i p m e n t s   i n   t h e   s t u d i o   a r e   c o n n e c t ed   t o  production room through coaxial wires.4.5 TRANSIMISSION CELLIn the transmission cell the main work is to air the news or programs. There is a crewcompromising of technical personals and a transmission engineer who looks after the whole transmission process. News and programs are saved either in a DV or shared ion anetwork drive which makes them easy for the transmission cell to collect them and air  them though he system that is installed in the transmission room. The transmitter in thisroom do all this work of transmitting the signals where it reaches the place where it iscollected and then again transmitted through cables line or satellite connection.4.6 STARTING AND ENDING DATES OF INTERNSHIPI started my internship report on 21may, 2008 up to 21july, 2008.

News was written down by the news writers and was send to me for correction purpose.I checked the news on correctness, accuracy, spelling mistakes, and objectivity.If there were some mistake in the tense form of the news such as some news were endedin past tense, which I corrected and changed them in to present form.Such cases were very less but few of them that I noted were corrected immediately.Here I also got training in on the different software’s used for editing purposes I learntabout Photoshop and adobe premiere. I have learnt all the things related to news editing inthis period of time. I learn how to grab Adv on the system, how to cut and add differentthings on the footage. How to edit a picture, map etc.How to split the audio and video content.How to change the audio video format.How to add voice over and many such other things that will help me in the future life inany news channel.All these I learnt and did as ii was told.Mr. sajjad and Mr.Khalid editors Avt Khyber news with whom I learnt Photoshop, adobe premiere editing software’s helped me a lot to know how to edit News.I worked on a footage being downloaded in the monitoring room, which I was told to editand add voice over of the person. I grab the DV with the help of adobe premiere softwarew h i c h t h e n s a v e d i n t o t h e s o f t w a r e a f t e r w h i c h u n l i n k t h e a u d i o a n d v i d e o b y l e f t clicking the mouse button on the footage.The next stage was of cutting which I did with ctrl + k, with this the extra parts with in the footages were cut and the footage was then Ripple deleted due to which the remaining parts get attach.I added the voice of the person who recorded the voice for this footage on to the video.the most important thing was that I have to put add footage clip on to the words andsentence the person or anchor is speaking, so that the video and audio matches. This wasvery mind teasing task because it requires well judgment. After the addition of the voiceon the footage the file format was changed. I saved the file on the system and then take acopy of it on the DV.38NEWS MONITORING:In t he fu r t he r s t age o f t r a i n ing and i n t e rn sh ip p rog ram’s I worked i n t he mon i to r i ng section.

I note down the main demands of the protesters on a page at least I came up a full-fledged story and on the other hand theewhole cameraman recorded protest with me. I noted the sum of people gathered for the  protest with the demands and personalities who took part in the reporting process. Oncewe covered the whole protest we came back from the site and edited the protest in the  NLE room a s t he t ex t t ha t I co l l e c t ed was changed i n t o a s t o ry t ype and t hen i t was voiced over on the footages that we captured on camera, unnecessary parts and acts werer emoved and a pe r f ec t ob j ec t i ve , comple t e , and co r r ec t s t o ry was made . I t was t hen transferred to the newsroom after acceptance it was sent to the production room fromwhere it was included in the news bulletin.In this way I worked as a reporter in Avt Khyber news.VOICE OVER AND VOICE OVER WRITING:During my internship period I was told to write the voice over for particular news, whichI did and then I was told to voice over it in studio. For this I practiced few minutes and then told the assignment editor and anchor I am ready for it. After getting in to the studioI sit on the chair and attach a neck mike and headphone for getting and sending voice tothe production room. I was told to get ready as the producer announced standby I getready and then he said Cut with this I start reading the voice over text. I read it all in asmoo th way so t ha t i t may f i t t he news foo t age . My vo i ce ove r ge t s r e co rded on t he editors system in to adobe premiere software after which it was added to news. This was1 AM News.5. OBSERVATION AND FINDINGS:As I en t e r ed Av t Khybe r fo r t he f i r s t t ime , wh ich was my f i r s t day , I obse rved t he organization as a professional environment for working. I was welcomed by the membersof Avt Khyber news and they told me you wouldn’t have any problem in Avt Khyber   News, enjoy your stay with us.Th i s r e a l l y he lped me i n ge t t i ng t o t he env i ronmen t o f t he o rgan i za t i on .

They know about how to compete and be successful in the boom of media competition. They work day and night for their audiences through out thecountry and out side Pakistan. I observed that there is no boss and subordinate within theorganization. Every one share their work with other one and if any one feels difficulty or have any good point or want the other person to write the news story for him if he is busyin some other work he /she is fully welcomed. I felt the organization a perfect place tolearn and get knowledge about the media world in practical. I find out that the way thesections and individual of the organization communicate is well balanced and is wellcontrolled.This not only enables a smooth flow of information but also helps the communication process very quick to take place between them. Every person in the organization is atevery time busy in doing his work. You wouldn’t find any one spare. The environment isre lax and easy to fee wi th no pressure . Every one works in re lax mood happi ly and positively.
