Jug Suraiya --- chief editor of TOI

Editorial positions at TOI :- Editorial assistants reporting to the senior-level editorial

staff and directors who report to senior executive editors.

Senior executive editors are responsible for developing a product to its final release. The smaller the publication, the more these roles overlap.

grammatical mistakes, misspellings, mistyping, incorrect punctuation, inconsistencies in usages, poorly structured sentences, wrong scientific terms, wrong units and dimensions, inconsistency in significant figures, technical ambivalence, technical disambiguation, correction of statements conflicting with general scientific knowledge,

TOI Designers:-

TOI Designers typically use desktop publishing software to arrange the elements on the pages directly.

With photographic printing process, typesetting gave way to paste-up, whereby columns of type were printed by machines on high-resolution film for paste-up on photographed final prints.

These prints in turn were "shot to negative" with a large format production camera —directly to steel-emulsion photographic plates.

Though paste-up put an end to cumbersome typesetting, this still required planned layouts and set column widths. Photographic plates are still wrapped on printing drums to directly apply ink to newsprint (paper).

Replacing several in-between steps in newspaper production at TOI, direct to plate pagination allowed for much more flexibility and precision than before.

Today TOI still used column grid layouts only with layout software, such as Adobe InDesign or Quark.

PRODUCT PROCESS

Direct printing:-

In direct printing the image is transferred directly from the image carrier to the substrate.

Examples of direct printing are gravure, flexography, screen printing and letterpress printing processes.

Times of india uses gravure and screen printing at there place for printing newspapers.

Gravure process:- In the intaglio ( GRAVURE) process, the nonprinting area

is at a common surface level with the substrate while the printing area, consisting of minute etched or engraved wells of differing depth and/or size, is recessed.

In the screen process (also known as porous printing), the image is transferred to the substrate by pushing ink through a porous mesh which carries the pictorial or typographic image.

Each printing process can be divided into three major steps: prepress, press, and post press.

Prepress:-

Prepress operations encompass that series of steps during which the idea for a printed image is converted into an image carrier such as a plate, cylinder, or screen.

Prepress operations include composition and typesetting, graphic arts photography, image assembly, and image carrier preparation.

Press and Post press:-

Press refers to actual printing operations.

Post press primarily involves the assembly of printed materials and consists of binding and finishing operations.

Within each process, a variety of chemicals are used, depending on the types of operation involved.

PLANT LAYOUT

Times of India uses line layout for the production .

In this type of layout the machines and equipments are arranged in one line depending upon the sequence of operations required for the product. It is also called as line layout.

The material moves to another machine sequentially without any backtracking or deviation ie the output of one machine becomes input of the next machine.

It requires a very little material handling. It is used for mass production of standardized products.
