Company profile
The Audit Bureau of Circulations (ABC) of India is a non-profit circulation-auditing
organization. It certifies and audits the circulations of major publications, including
newspapers and magazines in India.
ABC is a voluntary organization initiated in 1948 that operates in different parts of the
world. Until 1948, the concept of circulation audit was yet to be made in India and the
publishers had no means to verify the actual circulation number of publications that they
used for advertising and had to depend more on their own judgment. Publishers also
found it difficult to convince advertisers of the relative values of their publication for the
purpose of advertising. It is with this background that eminent representatives of the
advertising profession and publishing industry came together to establish an organization
which could serve the common interest. Since then the benefit of ABC certificates of
circulation have been availed by advertisers, advertising agencies, publishers and
organizations connected with print media advertising. See List of newspapers in India by
circular.
The Times of India (TOI) is an Indian English-language daily newspaper owned by The
Times Group. It is the third -largest newspaper in India by circulation and largest selling
English-language daily in the world according to Audit Bureau of Circulations (India). It
is the oldest English-language newspaper in India still in circulation, with its first edition
published in 1838. and the second-oldest Indian newspaper still in circulation after
the Bombay Samachar. Near the beginning of the 20th century, Lord Curzon, the Viceroy
of India, called The Times of India "the leading paper in Asia". In 1991,
the BBC ranked The Times of India among the world's six best newspapers.
It is owned and published by Bennett, Coleman & Co. Ltd., which is owned by the Sahu
Jain family. In the Brand Trust Report 2012 The Times of India was ranked 88th among
India's most-trusted brands. In 2017, however, the newspaper was ranked 355th

Beginnings
The Times of India issued its first edition on 3 November 1838 as The Bombay Times
and Journal of Commerce. The paper published Wednesdays and Saturdays under the
direction of Raobahadur Narayan Dinanath Velkar, a Maharashtrian Reformist, and
contained news from Britain and the world, as well as the Indian Subcontinent. J.E.
Brennan was its first editor. In 1850, it began to publish daily editions.
In 1860, editor Robert Knight (1825–1892) bought the Indian shareholders' interests,
merged with rival Bombay Standard, and started India's first news agency. It
wired Times dispatches to papers across the country and became the Indian agent
for Reuters news service. In 1861, he changed the name from the Bombay Times and
Standard to The Times of India. Knight fought for a press free of prior restraint or
intimidation, frequently resisting the attempts by governments, business interests, and
cultural spokesmen and led the paper to national prominence. In the 19th century, this
newspaper company employed more than 800 people and had a sizeable circulation in
India and Europe.
Bennett and Coleman ownership
Subsequently The Times of India saw its ownership change several times until 1892
when an English journalist named Thomas Jewell Bennett along with Frank Morris
Coleman (who later drowned in the 1915 sinking of the SS Persia) acquired the
newspaper through their new joint stock company, Bennett, Coleman & Co. Ltd.
Under the Government of India
Following the Vivian Bose Commission report indicating serious wrongdoings of the
Dalmia–Jain group, on 28 August 1969, the Bombay High Court, under Justice J. L.
Nain, passed an interim order to disband the existing board of Bennett Coleman and to
constitute a new board under the Government. The bench ruled that "Under these
circumstances, the best thing would be to pass such orders on the assumption that the
allegations made by the petitioners that the affairs of the company were being conducted
in a manner prejudicial to public interest and to the interests of the Company are
41
correct".Following that order, Shanti Prasad Jain ceased to be a director and the company
ran with new directors on board, appointed by the Government of India, with the
exception of a lone stenographer of the Jains. Curiously, the court appointed D K
Kunte as Chairman of the Board. Kunte had no prior business experience and was also an
opposition member of the Lok Sabha.
Back to the Jain family
In 1976, during the Emergency in India, the Government transferred ownership of the
newspaper back to Ashok Kumar Jain (Sahu Shanti Prasad Jain's son, Ramkrishna
Dalmia's grandson and the father of Samir Jain and Vineet Jain). The Jains too often
landed themselves in various money laundering scams and Ashok Kumar Jain had to flee
the country when the Enforcement Directorate pursued his case strongly in 1998 for
alleged violations of illegal transfer of funds (to the tune of US$1.25 million) to an
overseas account in Switzerland.
During the Emergency
On 26 June 1975, the day after India declared a state of emergency, the Bombay edition
of The Times of India carried an entry in its obituary column that read "D.E.M. O'Cracy,
beloved husband of T.Ruth, father of L.I.Bertie, brother of Faith, Hope and Justice
expired on 25 June". The move was a critique of Prime Minister Indira Gandhi's 21-
month state of emergency, which is now widely known as "the Emergency" and seen by
many as a roundly authoritarian era of Indian government.
The Times in the 21st century
In late 2006, Times Group acquired Vijayanand Printers Limited (VPL). VPL previously
published two Kannada newspapers, Vijay Karnataka and Usha Kiran, and an English
daily, Vijay Times. Vijay Karnataka was the leader in the Kannada newspaper segment
then.
The paper launched a Chennai edition, 12 April 2008. It launched a Kolhapur edition,
February 2013.

blogs, and shopping has almost replaced the newspaper in the minds of the younger
generation. Advertisers are also preferring to go online as against advertising in
newspapers and all this is likely to affect the industry at large.

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
RESEARCH
Research is careful and organized study or gathering of information
about a specific topic. An example of research is a project where scientists try to find a
cure for AIDS. An example of research is the information a high school student tracks
down information for a school report.
RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
Research methodology is a science of studying how research is to be carried out.
Essentially, the procedures by which researchers go about their work of describing,
explaining and predicting phenomena are called research methodology. It is also
defined as the study of methods by which knowledge is gained.

Research design
A research design is an arrangement of conditions or collections.
Descriptive (e.g., case-study, naturalistic observation, survey) Correlational (e.g., case-
control study, observational study) Semi-experimental (e.g., field experiment, quasi-
experiment) Experimental (experiment with random assignment)

DESCRIPTIVE RESEARCH
Descriptive research is used to describe characteristics of a population or phenomenon
being studied. It does not answer questions about how/when/why the characteristics
occurred.
Descriptive research is used to describe characteristics of a population or phenomenon
being studied. It does not answer questions about how/when/why the characteristics
occurred. Rather it addresses the "what" question (what are the characteristics of the
population or situation being studied?)The characteristics used to describe the situation or
population are usually some kind of categorical scheme also known as descriptive
categories. For example, the periodic table categorizes the elements. Scientists use
knowledge about the nature of electrons, protons and neutrons to devise this categorical
scheme. We now take for granted the periodic table, yet it took descriptive research to
devise it. Descriptive research generally precedes explanatory research. For example,
over time the periodic table’s description of the elements allowed scientists to explain
chemical reaction and make sound prediction when elements were combined. Hence,
descriptive research cannot describe what caused a situation. Thus, descriptive research
53
cannot be used as the basis of a causal relationship, where one variable affects another. In
other words, descriptive research can be said to have a low requirement for internal
validity.

PAPULATION
A population is a complete set of people with a specialized set of
characteristics, and a sample is a subset of the population. ... The study population is
the subset of the target population available for study (e.g. schizophrenics in the
researcher's town). The study sample is the sample chosen from the study population.
55
Population sampling is the process of taking a subset of subjects that is representative of
the entire population. The sample must have sufficient size to warrant statistical
analysis.
SAMPLING TECHNIQUE
A sampling technique is the name or other identification of the specific process by
which the entities of the sample have been selected.
Methods of sampling from a population
1. Simple random sampling. In this case each individual is chosen entirely by chance and
each member of the population has an equal chance, or probability, of being selected.
2. Systematic sampling
3. Stratified sampling.
4. Clustered sampling.
5. Convenience sampling.
6. Quota sampling.
7. Judgement (or Purposive) Sampling.
8. Snowball sampling.
SAMPLING DESIGN (SIMPLE RANDOM SAMPLING)
A probability sample is a sample in which every unit in the population has a chance
(greater than zero) of being selected in the sample, and this probability can be accurately
determined.
56
SAMPLE SIZE
Sample size determination is the act of choosing the number of
observations or replicates to include in a statistical sample. The sample size is an
important feature of any empirical study in which the goal is to make inferences about a
population from a sample.
In this study also convenience sampling is applied. The sample size of the study is 100
employees.
AREA OF THE STUDY
The area of study is recruitment and selection at The Times of India in Lucknow.
PERIOD OF STUDY
The study period of the project work was for 45-60 days.
DATA COLLECTION
The data collected by the research were purely based in the primary data and was less
dependent on secondary data.
SECONDARY DATA
The secondary data was collected from personal department files and records, company
broachers, magazines and journals.

Scope and purpose
Sampling is a means of selecting a subset of units from a target population for the
purpose of collecting information. This information is used to draw inferences about the
population as a whole. The subset of units that are selected is called a sample. The sample
design encompasses all aspects of how to group units on the frame, determine the sample
size, allocate the sample to the various classifications of frame units, and finally, select
the sample. Choices in sample design are influenced by many factors, including the
desired level of precision and detail of the information to be produced, the availability of
appropriate sampling frames, the availability of suitable auxiliary variables for
stratification and sample selection, the estimation methods that will be used and the
available budget in terms of time and resources.
Principles
There are two types of sampling: non-probability and probability sampling. Non-
probability sampling uses a subjective method of selecting units from a population, and is
generally fast, easy and inexpensive. Therefore, it's sometimes useful to perform things
like preliminary studies, focus groups or follow-up studies. However, in order to make
inferences about the population, one must make the often false assumption that the
sample is representative. Probability sampling is based on three basic principles that
make up the statistical framework. First, it is based on randomization, i.e. the units in the
sample are selected at random. Second, all survey population units have a known positive
probability of being selected in the sample, and third, we can calculate those
probabilities, which are then used to calculate estimates along with estimates of the
sampling error. The ability to make reliable inferences about the entire population and to
quantify the error in the estimates makes probability sampling the best choice for most
statistical programs.
The sample design should be as simple as possible. The aim is to produce estimates that
are both precise and accurate enough to meet survey requirements. Precision is measured
by the variance of an estimator. Lack of accuracy manifests itself through biases which
60
are often introduced via non-sampling factors such as inaccurate reporting, processing,
and measurement, as well as errors from nonresponse and incomplete reporting.
Guidelines
Design
When determining sample size, take into account the required levels of precision
needed for the survey estimates, the type of design (e.g., clustering, stratification)
and estimator to be used, the availability of auxiliary and contact information,
budgetary constraints, as well as other factors, such as nonresponse, presence of
out-of-scope units, attrition in longitudinal surveys, etc. For periodic surveys, take
into a
Methods
For highly skewed populations, create a stratum of large units to be included in the
survey with certainty (the so-called take-all stratum). These large units would
normally account for a significant portion of the population totals. In order to
reduce respondent burden, the creation of a stratum of very small units to be
excluded from the surveyed population is sometimes appropriate. See
Baillargeon et al. (2007). It is important to distinguish between the non-surveyed
portion of the survey population (the take-none stratum) which is part of the
survey population but not sampled and the out-of-scope units which are not part of
the survey population. The contribution for the take-none stratum may be
estimated using models.
Sometimes the information needed to stratify the population is not available on the
frame. In such cases, a two-phase (or double) sampling scheme may be used,
whereby a large sample is selected in the first phase to obtain the required
stratification information. This first sample is then stratified and in the second
phase, a subsample is selected from each stratum within the first-phase sample.
Consider the cost of sampling at each phase, the availability of the information
required at each phase, and the gain in precision obtained by stratifying the first-
phase sample.
61
Periodic surveys
For periodic surveys that use designs in which the sample size grows as the
population increases, it is often appropriate to develop a method to keep the
sample size and therefore collection costs, stable. One approach is to use a random
drop method to maintain a stable sample size over time.
For periodic surveys, make the design as flexible as possible to deal with future
changes, such as increases or decreases in sample size, restratification, resampling
and updating of selection probabilities. If estimates are required for specified
domains of interest (e.g., subprovincial estimates), form the strata by combining
small stable units related to the identified domains (e.g., small geographical areas),
if possible. Future changes in definitions of the strata will then be easier to
accommodate.
For periodic surveys, if efficient estimates of change are required or if response
burden is a concern, use a rotation sampling scheme that replaces part of the
sample in each period. The choice of the rotation rate will be a compromise
between the precision required for the estimates of change and the response
burden on the reporting units. Lowering the rotation rate will increase the
precision of the estimates of change but may lower the response rate over time
because of increased response burden. A low rotation rate has the additional
benefit of reducing costs if the first contact is substantially more expensive than
subsequent contacts.
For periodic surveys, develop procedures to monitor the quality of the sample
design over time. Set up an update strategy for the selective redesign of strata that
have suffered serious.
Longitudinal surveys
For longitudinal panel surveys, determine the length of the panel (its duration of
time in the sample) by balancing the need for duration data with sample attrition
and conditioning effects. Use a design with overlapping panels (i.e.with
62
overlapping time span) when there is a need to produce cross-sectional estimates
along with the longitudinal ones.
It is particularly important to choose simple design features (i.e., one single frame)
with as few stages or phases as possible as the estimation procedures becomes
extremely complex with the number of waves.
It is recommended that longitudinal surveys should be designed primarily to
produce longitudinal estimates. Trying to satisfy both cross-sectional and
longitudinal requirements can result in very complex design and estimation
procedures. If production of cross-sectional estimates is required, the use of a
"top-up" sample to cover births and new immigrants is recommended.
Implementation
At the implementation stage, compare the size and characteristics of the actual
sample to what was expected. Compare the precision of the estimates to the
planned objectives. Reassess the assumptions used at the design stage. For
example, evaluate nonresponse (non-contacts, refusals, etc.) and calculate design
effects.
Where possible, use generalized sample selection software instead of tailor-made
systems. One such system is the Generalized Sampling System (GSAM)
developed by Statistics Canada. GSAM is especially useful for managing sample
selection and rotation for periodic surveys. By using generalized systems, one can
expect fewer programming errors, as well as some reduction in development costs
and time.
Documentation
Write detailed and thorough documentation of all aspects of the sample design:
which frames were chosen and why, how units were formed, how they were
stratified, how sample size was determined and how sample was allocated, choice
of stages and/or phases, which sampling schemes were used and why, and so on.
Quality indicators
Main quality element: accuracy
63
In addition to the points below, the reader should consult Statistics Canada Policy on
informing users of data quality and methodology, which includes information that is
pertinent here, particularly section E.1, subsection 2.3.
Provide measures of the representativity of the sample: overcoverage and
undercoverage, exclusions, comparisons to external sources (e.g. compare external
demographic totals to those obtained from the survey).
Compare the sample size observed to the expected sample size. This is especially
important for multistage surveys where the sample size below the first stage may
be hard to predict accurately.
Compare response, attrition and out-of-scope rates to those that were assumed at
the planning stage.
Provide measures of sampling error: produce variances and/or CVs and compare
them to the values expected at the planning stage; if design effects were used at
the planning stage, compare them to realized design effects.
For variables that were used to stratify the frame and/or allocate the sample,
compare their observed CVs to their target values from the design stage.
If possible, compare the observed homogeneity of strata to their homogeneity
when they were formed; for a repeated survey, track the deterioration of the strata
over time. Measure the frequency of stratum jumpers and of classification errors.
