Designing of product

News collection by
journalist:-

information regarding happenings.
 Reporter is a type of journalist who researches ,writes
and report information to present in sources, conduct
interviews, engage in research, make reports.
 Journalists and reporters both are assigned with specific
beat and area of coverage.

EDITORS :-
 After that news collected is sent to or delivered to collection
centre for processing .
 Then in processing news is being decided by head what to
publish or what not to.
 Then the selected ones is being sent to editors of editorial
team for further processing and refinement in news to be
published.

Editors what they do ?
 Editing is the process of selecting and preparing written,
visual media used to convey information through the
processes of correction, condensation, organization, and
other modifications performed with an intention of
producing a correct, consistent, accurate, and complete
work.
 As such ,editing is a practice that includes creative
skills, human relations, and a precise set of methods.
Jug Suraiya --- chief editor of 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.
 Mid-level newspaper editors at times of india often
manage or help manage sections, such as business,
sports and features.
 Editors generally supervise journalists and reporters.

Technical editing :-
 Technical editing may include the correction of :
 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, correction of synopsis,
 content, index, headings and subheadings.

Columnists:-
 A columnist is someone who writes for publication in a
series, creating an article that usually offers commentary
and opinions. Columns appear in newspapers, magazines
and other publications, including blogs.
 Shobha De, columnist
 M J Akbar, Columnist, "The Siege Within" and former
Editorial Team
 Gurcharan Das, Columnist
 Chetan Bhagat, Columnist, Sunday TOI

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.

Capacity installed :-

acres of land which fulfills the demand for newspaper of
north region.

readers.
 The capacity of daily production is around
about 14 lakh newspaper everyday

1,20,000 units/hr
It is lengthy process it require 10 hrs nd more
to print .

 Efficiency :-
Actual output = 1,20,000 units/hr

Effective cap = 1,22,000 units/hr
98 %
 Utilization:-
Actual output = 1,20,000 units/hr
