Dear ravi I am working in a TV channel, and I am
l based at Uttaranchal's capital Dehradun. Here I have only
an assistant and moreover I have to work as a reporter-cum-cameraman.
My problem is that since *** is regional channel beamed in
the south India or say Maharastra and I am posted in North
India. My news coordinator says that I must keep viewership
in mnd before sending a story. Though he is right on his part
but my desk chief asks me to file stories even on regional
issue. I am in dilema to whom to follow. As it seems that
there is no cordination between desk chief and news cordinator.
Pls. suggest me how to cope with the situation. Regards
My Reply:
I agree that you are not in a very comfortable
position. But you need to understand that the Co-ordinator
decides what goes into the programme, so it makes more sense
to follow his instructions. Try to explain the ground reality
to your desk chief. If this does not solve your problem write
a letter giving details of your problem with examples directly
to your headquarters.

In order to become a TV Journalist, you need
to do a course in Broadcast Journalism. Institutes like Jamia
Millia and IIMC in Delhi, offer Mass Commuication courses
which will also help you start head on. These are Post-Graduate
Courses and along with a first class degree, you are also
expected to clear entrance tests. Other way is to start as
an Intern in some of the well known Television Companies and
learn Television as you work. I am sure there are other institutes
and universities throughout the world which offer such degrees
and diplomas.
And also...

I have no problem in being interviewed. But I stay
in India and travelling to USA for this interview may not
be a feasible option. Do send me your questions over the e-mail
and I will reply to you.
