 Introduction Of Digital Media

Digital media means any communication media that operate

with the use of any of various encoded machine-readable data formats.
Digital media can be created, viewed, distributed, modified, listened to,
and preserved on a digital electronics device. Digital can be defined as
any data represented by a series of digits, while media refers to
methods of broadcasting or communicating this information.
Together, digital media refers to mediums of digitized information
broadcast to us through a screen or a speaker. This also includes text,
audio, video, and graphics that are transmitted over the internet for
viewing or listening to on the internet.
Digital media has a significantly broad and complex impact on
society and culture. Digital media has also posed new challenges
to copyright and intellectual property laws, fostering an open
content movement in which content creators voluntarily give up some
or all of their legal rights to their work

An editor is the brain of a newschannel and is ultimately

newschannel staff. They allocate space for news bite,advertise,breaking
news bar, etc and decides the preference of all news.
The editorial department is the backbone of the newschannel. By
editing, we mean preparing a newsbulletin for broadcasting. Editing is a
process by which the bulletin is read, corrected, modified, voice-added,
polished, improved and made better for broadcasting.
The sub-editor Mr.Kale sir taught us, how to collect newsbites
from local reporters from urban as well as the rural areas and to make
certain news or editing it with respect to their broadcasting format.

odd-spot, to balance out all the bad news
 Two or three very brief sports stories (with a variety of sports,
local and international)
 Bulletin should also contain a gossip or entertainment news story
 Also contains today’s weather, with a brief forecast for the week
 Todays quick traffic report related to road or public transport.

newschannel organization more productive.

• Broadcasting Department

News broadcasting is the medium of broadcasting of

various news events and other information via television, radio, or
internet in the field of broadcast journalism. The content is usually
either produced locally in a radio studio or television studio newsroom,
or by a broadcast network. It may include material such as sports
coverage, weather forecasts, traffic reports, political commentary,
expert opinions, editorial content, and other material that the
broadcaster feels is relevant to their audience. An individual news
program is typically reported in a series of individual stories that are
presented by one or more anchors. A frequent inclusion are live or
recorded interviews by field reporters.
Television news programs inform and discuss current
events via the medium of television. A "news bulletin" or a "newscast"
are television programs lasting from seconds to hours that provide
updates on events. Programs can vary their focus; some newscasts
discuss largely international or national matters, while others will focus
on regional and local news events.

14
• TV News Room and functions:
A TV newsroom has its own vocabulary and when you
enter a television newsroom, you will come across many terms and
expressions that you may find interesting. For the convenience of the
personnel working there, many words are used in their cut-short
versions. Some words are of technical nature and we can understand
their meaning or implication only if we understand the technological
functions related to them.

Package: A package is a full story. In a news channel, the input comes in

a fragmented form. Sometimes the visuals, bytes and the information
come from different sources and places. Including all of them in a single
story is called making a package. The package should give a full picture
of the story; it is developed in a sequence. First, the script should tell
the viewers that what is the news. Then it also gives the true context of
the development, so that the viewers are able to understand why this is
important and how this news should be perceived. The visuals and
bytes are arranged in a package in a logical manner. In some channels
packages are called VTs. VT is the abbreviation of Visual Text.

Anchor Link: These are the sentences an anchor reads or speaks to

introduce the package. After every story, the anchor comes on the
screen and links another story with introducing it in a manner that may
look logical and interesting. So these sentences are called the anchor
link. Anchors are expected to write their links themselves, but often an
output editor has to do this job because the anchors are in a hurry or
they may not be aware of the full content of the story.
15
VO: VO or Voice Over is a recorded voice which is used in packages or
VTs. A person, who has a clearance for doing VOs from the authorities,
records the text of script in the video editing system. Then the video
editor puts it in the package in such a manner that the voice, visuals
and bytes create a sequence.

OB: OB is the short version of Outdoor Broadcasting. All news channels

have Outdoor Broadcasting Vans. These vans move around according to
the needs of broadcasting and are capable of getting things telecast
from the outdoor location. OBs are stationed at the places of
happenings. A reporter keeps giving updates from there, regarding a
development. OBs are also used for discussions. In this era of numerous
news channels, sometimes you will find scarcity of VIP guests. When a
VIP refuses to come to the studio of the channel, an OB is sent to a
convenient place for joining the discussion.

MCR: MCR is the abbreviation for the Master Control Room. This is the
room from where all air ways are monitored and controlled. If some
feed is coming from outside or something is being sent from the
channel, all traffic takes place from the MCR. The MCR sends telecast
signals to the satellite, controls the OBs, and receives feeds from the
visual news agencies.

16
PCR: PCR is an abbreviation for Production Control Room. PCR is the
place from where the telecast process is directed and controlled. PCR
remains linked to the studio where anchor sits. PCR also remains linked
to the MCR, it keeps asking OBs for links, feeds and air signals according
to the needs of the bulletin. From there, the anchor is given
instructions and the latest information.

Teleprompter:also known as an autocue, is a display device that

prompts the person speaking with an electronic visual text of a speech
or script.Using a teleprompter is similar to using cue cards. The screen
is in front of, and usually below, the lens of a professional video
camera, and the words on the screen are reflected to the eyes of
the presenter using a sheet of clear glass or other beam splitter, so that
they are read by looking directly at the lens position, but are not
imaged by the lens. Light from the performer passes through the front
side of the glass into the lens, while a shroud surrounding the lens and
the back side of the glass prevents unwanted light from entering the
lens
