DLA Launches its NCT edition

DLA launched its NCT edition today from its Noida Printing facility.

Its Delhi-Ghaziabad edition, which earlier had limited sales confined in Eastern Delhi region, has now been expanded to rest of Delhi. The NCT edition will now have split run of Ghaziabad, Delhi and Noida editions.

With this launch DLA is now published from 6 cities -- Agra, Ghaziabad, New Delhi, Noida, Meerut and Jhansi.

The daily has now achieved combined sales of 3.05 Lac copies daily. [Agra: 1.70 Lac; Ghaziabad: 0.30L; Meerut: 035 L; Delhi: 0.30L; Noida: 0.20L and Janshi: 0.20 Lac].

The daily through its earlier editions has made the most impressive debut in 2008 Round 2 with a Total Readership of 20.62 Lac, mostly confined in the Socio Cultural Region of Braj [Largely western UP]. With four more newer editions becoming operational now post the survey, the readership count is bound to grow further in forthcoming rounds.

DLA has set many other readership records. The current round of IRS has seen as many as 25 debutant publications getting listed in the readership study, including Metro Now, Mint, TTIE, Newsweek, Daily News, Mail Today, I-Next, Pratidin Akhbar, Lakshya, Chhutti Vikata etc. Of this, 7 publications have been reported in half round measures. However, DLA has become the best debutant in the current round.

DLA has set another distinction by becoming the No. 1 in the mid morning/afternoon daily segment in India. All other mid-morning and afternoon dailies are way behind DLA.

Malai Malar, which has 32.62 Lac readers, is an evening daily in Tamil.

Bucking the recessionary trends, the DLA management is busy planning its future launches of Lucknow and Bareilly editions.

Besides expanding the horizon of DLA, the management has also taken over another newspaper called Vikassheel Bharat[VB]. This will now be re launched in ‘MagPaper’ format. A magazine printed in newspaper format.

VB will be a fortnightly MagPaper with focus only in upcountry muffassil towns and rural areas of the Hindi heartland. Most language dailies in India only reflect urban aspiration in its content while completely ignoring the India’s most vibrant country side. VB will position itself right there. Its content would seamlessly ‘rurban’—a blend of both the worlds.

The management is finalizing its distribution plans. It has already rolled out dummy edition and would launch the same any time soon. Its English morning Daily, DLA am has become the No. 1 English Daily of Agra and has been received well by its readers. The daily will spread its sales in the neighboring districts soon.

The DLA group of publications, with three titles to its credit now has already established its business offices in all the metro cities of India and has been garnering handsome business volume. The daily has also been empanelled with DAVP and state Government of UP. The daily has also been receiving public sector advertisement volume regularly.

Its state of art printing facility is also being outsourced by HT Media in Agra for printing its Hindustan’s Agra edition. Similarly Nai Dunia’s Delhi edition is being printed from DLA’s Noida Print facility.

For the records, DLA is the splinter group of Amar Ujala, having branched out last year. It launched its first Agra Edition in March 2007.

    Not An Idea, Sir Ji





    Idea Cellular's recent television ads show Abhishek Bachchan as a creative problem solver.

    He asks people to replace their names with their phone numbers to end caste violence. Then, he spreads the reach of English language education by broadcasting lectures over cellphones in rural India.

    The ads end with a self-congratulatory "What an idea, sir ji".

    OK. Nice concept, well-produced TVC, but one must ask the uncomfortable question: what message is Idea Cellular trying to send out by dramatising an unfeasible, impractical idea and then patting its own back?

    Vijay Nambisan criticises the campaign on The Hoot. He says:

    Surely it is a laudable objective to take education – of whatever kind – to the villages. This initiative with the mobile phones might even work. But is it ethical to take credit for an idea, pretending it has been put into practice? That is what this company is doing.

    This trend needs to be stopped before more corporates see the beauty and simplicity – and economy – of claiming the kudos for an idea instead of achievement.
    What do readers feel about this ad campaign?

    Is This A Hair-Brained Scheme Or The End Of Sub Editors?



    Eighty sub editors may lose their jobs following the Daily Express and Sunday Express's plans to let reporters key their stories directly on to the pages templates.

    The Guardian reports:

    In an email to staff, the Express Newspapers group managing editor, Ian Parrott, detailed how reporters would fit stories into an editorial template containing the necessary styles. Rewriters and lawyers would then check the pages.
    As expected, the move has made employees insecure. The National Union of Journalists has reacted with anger saying the cuts would lead to the title's "immediate demise as national papers".

    This post is open to reader comment.

    This is an excellent opportunity for a motivated journalist to make a real difference in a dynamic team that aims to put Reuters principles of speed, accuracy and objectivity at the disposal of the relief community.

    The successful candidate will be given a contract for 12 months with a view
    to renewal.

    Reader Questions — Online Journalism & Electronic Media

    Reader Nivedita Soni had left a question about online journalism and electronic media.

    Electronic media could be used to describe any medium that employs electromechanical means to deliver information to an audience.

    This means, TV, radio and internet can be classified as electronic media. [More on Wikipedia]

    As far as online journalism goes, most media houses today have an online presence. They employ web professionals for the upkeep of their websites.

    Becoming an online journalist is not very different from becoming a journalist for any other medium.

    Most mass communication courses offer modules in online journalism. The completion of such a course could help media students find a job with news websites and content writing and editing firms.

    Another way to get started in online journalism could be to approach websites for trainee or internship openings. Some websites can also offer full-time jobs straightaway to candidates, depending on their requirement.

    The salaries for beginners in web tend to be at par with what freshers earn in other varieties of journalism. However, the top websites will offer you better pay.

    Do you have a question about the media industry that you want Jobs Media to answer? Write in to jobsmediablog@gmail.com and we shall try our best to answer them.
