Subject: Complaint about the publication of wrong publication

Sir,
Through the column of your esteemed newspaper, I would like to draw your kind attention
towards the article which has been published in the HT city, page 3, of your newspaper dated
February 11, 2022.
The headline of the article was ‘The AP wave of India' in which it was very clearly
mentioned that AP rose to fame when his song ‘Excuses’ became an overnight sensational song
in late 2021. But another song named ‘Brown Munde' which released way before, gave him the
initial boost in his career.
Therefore, I would really request you to please correct the wrong information and also take care
that these mistakes should not be repeated anytime in future.
Thank You
Yours Truly
R.Snigdha Ramani

3. Lockdown Diary

13 February, 2022
Sunday
08:00 PM
I will tell you about my lockdown days. To be honest, I didn’t do any productive work during
this time but learned about a lot of things. In the beginning, I spend a lot of time with my family,
we four used to play Carrom daily and watch movie of my parents' generation (Telegu movies)
together. Which actually made me realize that we all were engaged in doing our daily work like
studies, job. We were so busy that we couldn't get time to spend with each other. Those starting
lockdown days were so awesome for me. After that my online classes were started and I just
started preparing for my 12th. After a few months I was so disturbed because I couldn't go out
and enjoy with my friends. I have to be at home and that was really tough for me because my
parents were scared and were not allowing me to go out that's why I just go downstairs with an
excuse like I have to buy a pen, A4 size sheet, sketch etc. and I just go downstairs and play with
my friends for like 2 hours and after coming home my mom questions me that what are you
doing since last two hours. More than the first lockdown, second lockdown taught me a lot of
things. During the second lockdown my mom got fever and by God's grace it was just viral. But
then also we took all the precautions and during that time when Mom was isolated and I and dad
have to do all the household chores after doing have work I was tired. But this incident made me
realize that My mom was doing double the work I did when she was ill and She does that much
work daily without even taking a break without complaining about anything. I have also
practiced a bit painting, music and craftwork as well. I didn't spend both the lockdowns in a
productive way, but I learned a lot of things during this lockdown time either being
psychologically strong or giving more importance to your health and fitness. do not so much All
the best to myself will share my experience with you tomorrow.

4. Models of Communication
A) Aristotle model

Example: -

Speaker- PM Modi

Speech- India-Pakistan partition

Occasion- Partition Day

Audience- Public
Effect- people will try to remove the disharmony or social differences to strengthen the spirit of
oneness.

B) Wilbur Schramm’s Model

Example: -
This is an interview of Sachin Tendulkar; this is an example of Wilbur Schramm's model as
Sachin Tendulkar and the journalist both are receiver and sender and take turns to play the role
of encoder and decoder one after another.

C) Lasswell’s Model
Who - Reporter

Says What –post vaccine fever is not dangerous for pregnant women

In Which channel - Newspaper

To Whom – All the pregnant women and their families

With What Effect - increase in covid vaccination and awareness

D) Shannon-Weaver Model

Paula, a VP of Marketing in a multinational company, is briefing Julian on new marketing

strategies they are about to introduce next month. She wants a detailed study on the competitor’s
activity by the end of the week. Unfortunately, while she was speaking, her assistant Peter
interrupted her, and she forgot to tell Julian about the most important issue.

At the end of the week, Julian did finish the report, but there were some mistakes, which had to
be corrected later on.

Let’s take a moment to briefly analyze this example.

Paula is the sender, her mouth being the encoder.

The meeting she held was the channel.

Julian’s ears and brain were decoders, and Julian was the receiver.

Peter was the noise.

The trouble in this process was the lack of feedback.

E) Newcomb’s Model

Sender- Newspaper

Receiver- Public

Matter of concern- school closure

F) The Westley and Maclean Model

In this example, the receiver or the source publish about the increase in flight fares. Now, the
readers will give indirect feedback by traveling less in flights. this is a feedback loop between
readers(B) and client(A)- fBA.

G) Agenda Setting

The most covered news item across the globe is the “humiliating” withdrawal of American
troops from Afghanistan. The news was reported in breathless coverage, with the urgency of
impending doom. However, it was quite obvious that for most people in most countries of the
world, the return of undemocratic rule in Afghanistan has little to no significance for their
everyday lives.

G) Spiral of Silence Model

Marital rape still happens in many parts of India and people don't speak about it due to fear or
separation or isolation. They tend to keep their attitude to themselves, when they think they are
in minority. People don't like to talk about this topic and feel OK about marital rapes.
5. Theories of communication
A) Bullet Theory

The bullet theory or hypodermic needle theory postulates that the media (needle) injects the
message into audience mind hence causes changes in audience behavior and psyche towards the
message.
In this example, the mass media is directly influencing the people to help the organ donating
Communities to save the lives of people.

B) Two Step Theory

The Two Step Flow Theory suggests that opinion leaders pay close attention to the mass media
and pass on their interpretation of media messages to others. Unlike the Hypodermic Needle
Theory, The Two Step Flow Theory maintains that audiences are active participants in the
communication process.

In this example, our Union sport and Youth Affairs Minister Anurag Singh Thakur is acting as
an opinion leader to influence the youth about aatmanirbhar innovation.

C) Multi-Step Theory

The multi-step flow theory assumes ideas flow from mass media to opinion leaders before being
disseminated to a wider population.
An excellent example of the power and destruction of the multi-step flow theory is the events of
Covid-19. False theories were easily propagated and spread through the web, including
conspiracy theories surrounding 5G towers, Bill Gates, and more. Many times news and
information were doctored and shaped to fit the opinions of an influencer.

D) Cognitive Dissonance

The state of having inconsistent thoughts, beliefs, or attitudes, especially as relating to behavioral
decisions and attitude change. Cognitive dissonance is the unpleasant emotion that results from
believing two contradictory things at the same time.

This example suggests that inconsistent or conflicting activities lead to disharmony, which
people strike to avoid. This is an Intrapersonal conflict article as everyone knows that keeping
black money is wrong but still people collect black money.

E) Cultivation Theory

The cultivation theory was proposed by George Gerbner. It is one of the core theories of media
effects. According to the theory, people who watch television frequently are more likely to be
influenced by the messages from the world of television. The influence goes to such an extent
that their world view and perception

People know that Harry Potter world does not exist but they still root for it. They relate to the
characters and take that world as a part of their reality. There are millions of people who follow
every new happening related to Harry Potter.

F) Libertarian Theory

In libertarian theory, media is supposed to be privately owned.

The theory believes in freedom of thought and individualism. There is no control of authority
and everybody has the right to voice their opinion. There is also no censorship and government
must not hold any power to control and suppress media.
This is an example of libertarian theory as it gives information and knowledge. In this example
Media shows us the latest news about the scams happening in our country. This shows that
media is any authority or control or censorship.

7. Group Discussion
A) Is economic activity important or lockdown should be implemented
To curb the spread of the Covid-19 pandemic, authorities around the world have implemented
lockdown measures that have brought much of global economic activity to a halt. All over the
globe, businesses have been forced to reduce operations or shut down and an increasing number
of workers are laid off. There have been vigorous debates on the usefulness of lockdown as a
measure to tackle this pandemic. One significant impact has been on the overall unemployment
rate. India is not alone in dealing with unemployment rather throughout the globe workers are
now reliant on authorities. Those companies that can provide services online like food panda and
amazon have hired more people as their business expand. However other businesses like
departmental stores and travelling agencies have laid off workers in huge number that are now
reliant on their finite life savings and the authorities. There has been a rise in demand for
unemployment benefits throughout the globe increasing pressure on the government.
While many businesses have been forced to shut down, some have benefitted from this pandemic
realizing a boom in their sales. Online delivery businesses like food panda and amazon have had
increased demand from quarantined public.
Lockdown will impact the different sectors in contrasting ways. The poor sector will have to face
greater consequences as they have limited resources. Unlike the rich, the poor do not have life
savings which they can rely on to survive this prolonged lockdown. They run their circles on
daily wages and will die of hunger if quarantined in homes.

B) Hijab should be implemented or not

The ban on wearing the hijab imposed by a school for girls in the city of Udupi has become a
flashpoint over religious minority rights. The conflict began in September at a college
preparatory institution for girls in Udupi, a city in southwestern Karnataka. When several
Muslim students showed up in hijabs, some teachers whose class they tried to attend turned them
away and marked them absent for the day.
Girls wear it because of their religion. You go to school because you need an education for the
future. It doesn’t matter what you wear when you go to school. It is their culture so they could be
offended if you don’t let them wear it. They should not be banned.
We believe it should be banned, if you have moved to a certain country you have to respect their
rules. It can be a matter of health and safety, moreover people believe it hides the identity of the
person which can be a problem in immigration and identification.
Each school has their particular clothing regulations (some don't, but most do). If 'religious'
reasons are good enough to let students wear whatever they want, then the KKK should be
allowed to wear their garb, Nazi's should be allowed to wear their symbol and Satanists should
be allowed to wear an upside down cross or whatever. If you say that Muslims don't offend other
people, it sure tells them to offend a lot of 'non-believers' in the Quran. They go directly against
my rights of religious beliefs and freedom.

8. Listening and reviewing of an audio programme

Title: ‘Escalation of Israel-Palestine conflict and impact on geopolitics’
Theme: Global conflicts
Anchor: Simran Sodhi (Journalist)
Time slot: 9:15pm to 9:30pm
Duration: 15minute 3 second
No. of participants: 2
Chief guest: Anil Wadhwa (Former Diplomat)

Introduction of the programme: Spotlight is a show on Akashvani hosted by Simran Sodhi

from 9:15 to9:30 Anil Wadhwa was invited as guest of the show on 16th May 2021 to discuss
about the escalation of Israel-Palestine conflict and impact on geopolitics.
Format: Discussion
Objective of the programme:
This was a subjective talk show with Israel Palestine conflict as the subject of conversation. The
conversation led us into the points like- What has triggered this decades long conflict to bud
again, The role of players like- Hamas, UN, Israel & other foreign countries like- USA. And it
also wanted to give us an insight into the Two estate solution & the crux of problems with its
implication.
Content:
The immediate incident was triggered between both sides because of the fact that it was a
culmination of a host of scattered hostile events. Immediate trigger seemed to be the clashes
between the palestians and the Israeli police at the holy hilltop compound in east Jerusalem. The
palestians were already seeding with anger over the constant confrontations with the Israeli
police in east Jerusalem over restrictions on the al-Aqsa mosque. During the holy month of
Ramadan Hamas, which is the militant group, that occupied Gaza always demanded that Israel
call back its police deployment from the temple mount which is a site revered by both Muslims
and Jews. The extremists took over and this reportedly started mounting rockets from Gaza into
Israel, civilians and security force sustained injuries alike deaths were reported from both sides.
Joe Biden has not been forthcoming in this matter but as far as trump was concerned, we
addressed the Palestinian had taken aback when Abraham accords happened. he further
mentioned the agreements between UAE and Israel, Bahrain and Israel and Morocco and Israel.
but the unfortunate part of Palestinian leadership is that they are themselves divided as president
belongs to the Fateh party, which is the west bank and the Hamas is terrorist organisation which
in dominant in the Gaza strip currently happening.
IN conclusion he affirms how the us govt will make sure to defuse the situation, it is a million-
dollar question as it is Hamas which is the militant force, assured as the dominance in Israel
conflict. that ends the crucial role of Biden and trump.
The engagement of US or UN with Iran would be very helpful as Hamas- the militant
organisation standing up for Israel has support from both Turkey & Iran & the current conflict
going on at the Gaza Strip is allegedly funded by foreign countries with the likes of Iran, & if US
manages to get Iran off the rail then the lack of funds could push the Hamas down. He also stated
that even the Arab countries which are already in the support of Palestine could change discourse
of the conflict but as they all are the attonies of Abraham Accord, it’s very difficult to move
further. So, there is a solution to it but as Mr. Wadhwa said- “It’s going to take time” cause of all
the reasons stated above.
Currently India is in UN council but what is bothering India a lot is the continuous rockets
attacks from Gaza border due to which, Indians are dying who live in Israel due to some specific
reason and because of this growing violence India wants de-escalation but is unable to do
anything as the main players are Israel United States and Hamas.
Towards the end, the participant talks about how the two state solution, i.e. division of two
estates Israel and Palestine is formally available for discussion because the Gaza strip remains
predominantly Palestinian but the Trump administration's plan proposed that Palestinian territory
could still be further carved out and hence, the State could gain some parts of land in Gaza as
well ;reason being that Israelis want Palestinians to be dependent on them for its contact with the
outside world. Thus, the matter of the fact is that the Palestinian leadership is against Trump
administration while opposite is objectionable to the Israeli leadership.
Language:
During the whole session English language was used as a medium of communication. Basic
vocabulary was used during most part of the session to simplify understanding of the population.
Interaction:
The session was started by Simran Sodhi (Journalist/anchor) welcoming the guest Anil Wadhwa
(Former Diplomat) to discuss about de-escalation of Israel-Palestine conflict. This interaction
was held in a question-answer session where the questions were asked by the anchor and the
guests answered it. Most of the session was two-way communication as expert was directly
answering the questions of the anchor.
Production elements (music and sound effects):
There was no such element in the programme as it was a discussion aimed at providing
information.

SONG (IN BACKGROUND)
All the smoke in the air,
feel the hate when they stare,
all the pain that we bear,
oh, you better beware,
their guns don't play fair,
all we got is a prayer,
video dims, black screen
India is one of the most racist counry in the world, and we live in denial that caste, religion or
color-based racism has vanished with time
