According to a report done by PricewaterhouseCoopers, and carried in the New Delhi, March 11, 2006, The Indian Media industry is positioned to grow up at 19% compound yearly growth rate. This rate is expected to go on until 2010. (PWC, 2007) Unravelled potential, good Economic growth, increasing earnings levels, consumerism, and technological innovations and policy plans undertaken by the Indian administration which are currently encouraging inflow of investments in the country, will attest to be significant drivers for the media industry in India. The media industry has been predicted to surpass the overall economic growth in every year, till the year 2010. (PWC, 2007)
Two main factors which will contribute to the industry growth are, low media access or penetration in lesser socio-economic groups and low advert expends; At present media penetration is slow in lower socio-economic groups, however efforts to raise it even just slightly are possible to bring much high results, merely owing to the total numbers being great. India bully economic growth, increasing consumer spending couple with regulatory rectifications are pulling foreign investment in many sectors of the media industry, particularly the print segment. “The sector needs a consistent and uniform media policy for increase in investments” (PWC, 2007).

India is the third biggest television market, in the whole world coming after china and USA. India also is amongst the cheapest subscription of cable market, where in numerous places a monthly cable cost is merely averagely US $ 4 and hardly ever surpasses US $ 10.
Print media:
A roaring Indian economy leading to increasing necessitates for contents and regime initiatives which have opened up the segment to foreign investments are pushing growth in print media. Also, with increasing literate population, more folks in rural and urban regions are reading the newspapers and the magazines nowadays. The internet at present offers a fresh avenue to create more advertising income. (PWC, 2007)
Radio: The most cheap and oldest model of media in the India that is dominated by AIR, the sector is witnessing a myriad-change very. In 2005, the India announced three main policy proposals which have driven growth in the sector. These policies were migrating to a returns share administration, permitting foreign investments into the sector and opening up licenses to the private players of the sector. This surge of radio stations have resulted in increasing requirement for content and experts. Latest concepts such as satellite, community radio and internet have also started to punch the market more and more, and radio is gradually making a return in the lifestyles of the people.

DISCUSSIONS ON TRAINING
3.1 UNDERSTANDING SALES AT HARYANA NEWS
(WORK PROFILE)
The procedure for air time sales commences with sending of customized proposals to
clients or their agencies. Recommendations can come from the client or corporate directly
or from the agency to spend on the channel for advertising in the designed media mix.
Once the proposal is sent then a follow up is done with the client to find out his response
on it. If the client wants some changes in the draft of the proposal in terms of secondages
allotted or rates then the table is laid for negotiation. After the negotiation is done then a
final proposal is sent to the client for confirmation. Once the confirmation letter is
received from the client, the release order (RO) is sent by him. This document contains all
the bifurcated details of the format of advertising. However before the receipt of the RO
the Beta tape containing the advertisement to be aired is sent with caption and secondage
mentioned. No commercial can be less than 10 seconds & for sponsorship tags Beta
cannot be less than 5 secs. On the receipt of Beta by the operation executives it is then
sent to traffic & details regarding it are entered into MIS- MATERIAL INFORMATION
SHEET.
As the RO is received the operations executives ask the sales executive or the client to
cross-check the details. Henceforth, information regarding the client is feeded on New
Account Header. The sales assistants then clarify the costings on a deal i.e. secondage,
time band, rates verification. Once such verification is made, then the Form 1 document is
filled with the details of costings and signed duly by the concerned top management. A
service tax of 8% is also required to be incorporated in the total valuation of the deal
before finalizing. Even the deadline date needs to be considered. Eg- if an advertiser wants
to advertise over the weekend say Saturday then he must clear off all paper work by
Tuesday.
The deadline of 4 days is applicable in case of spot deals only. For sponsorship deals the
deadline is 7 days. Once the RO is received and duly accepted with the terms and
conditions the sales assistant feeds in the Booking Order in a standard format. This
document is sent to traffic to log on the commercials. Once the commercial are logged a
cross check of the commercial logs are done by the executive in media. If there is no
discrepancy between logs laid & the RO sent by the client then the green signal is sent to
prepare the complete logs, those including promotion tags.
COLLECTIONS
Once the airing of the spots happen and the entire schedule of airing of the spots happen
and the entire schedule of airing is done the starts the process of Billing Invoices. It is
very important to get timely payments for matching revenues with expenses.
The invoices are generated fornightly with the help of SPOT software imported from
Holland. The information to be filled in invoices is sent by traffic to manager –
commercials. Once the invoices are generated, printing of the invoices is done followed by
their grouping and enveloping. At the end of the month ,all invoices of the particular
agency or client are bundled together with the cover letter and invoice summary.this is
then dispatched to the agency’s accounts incharge and a delivery receipt duly signed by
him is received. According to an agreement between Indian Broadcasting Federation(IBF)
& Association of Advertising Agencies of India(AAAI), a credit period of 60 days is to
be given to agencies from the date of receipt of bills & hence follow up for any payments
due begins 2 months after the receipt of delivery of invoices.also, for retail agencies or
clients an advance payment post dated cheques norm is followed.
3.2 KEY LEARNINGS

• By working in HARYANA NEWS channel I learned about the media industry. I
gain the knowledge regarding the work done in mdia , how is it done, about the
process through which the information is collected and then aired and so on.

• Being in the media industry I got the opportunity for interacting with a large
number of learned and experienced personalities of media industry which polished
my comunication skills and confidence level too.
• Importance of follow up
• I learned that the follow Up with the clients before the deal is finalized and after
the deal is finalized both. Before the deal is made it is necessary to be in touch
with clients to convince them to have their advertisements on our channel and after
the deal is finalized it is important to b in contact with the clients so that timely
payment is made.
• Convincing skills
• Being a marketing person it is very important to have convincing skills so that
more and more clients re convinced to have their advertisements on your channel.

Convenience sampling procedure has been used. The data here has been collected through
questionnaire and direct questioning and then analysed.
QUESTIONNAIRE DESIGNING
A good questionnaire must be concise, focus, easy to understand language.
Questionnaire should be designed as per the objective to get right feedback. A
questionnaire has a mix of following 4 major scales, which help us in analyzing the
attitude of the people. The scales are Nominal, Ordinal, Interval and ratio scale.
1. NOMINAL SCALE :
This type of scale is mostly used in the opening so that respondents feel easy in
answering. This scale helps in mutually exclusive classification of units i.e. there
is no case of may be in this.
2. ORDINAL SCALE
This type of scale is used for knowing a relativity of a unit as this includes ranking
and it is a type of comparative scale as respondents mainly compare the
parameters and then rank accordingly.
3. INTERVAL SCALE
This type of scale is of non-comparative in nature here respondents mainly rate the
parameters by their individuality and not comparing it with others.
4. CONSTANT SUM SCALE
This scale is used to know the quantum of the preference i.e. a respondent will say
that he/she buys branded products or non-branded products but in what
percentage? is a big question, this scale helps in knowing the quantum.
SAMPLE SIZE:
In order to compare the status of HARYANA NEWS in media industry, only 75 persons

questionnaires and where ever necessary clarifications were given to the respondents. For
some purposes the booklets of the organization are also used.
DATA COLLECTION INSTRUMENT:
Keeping in view the above-mentioned objectives, a self- reported questionnaire was
designed. Beside demographic antecedents, four major dimensions were analyzed. For
this, people were asked to fill a forced choice questionnaire.
LIMITATIONS
• The time allotted was not sufficient, if allotted some extra time for our project we
could have done better and could have analyzed certain other things also.
• People were biased and were giving wrong and manipulated information.
• Since we talk to people in public places, they were not taking us seriously and
were a little conscious.
• Working on the primary data was also a limitation because we were not allotted
much of the time to collect data from a larger number of people and then analyze
it.
