Editing Concepts


By Mr. K. G. Suresh

We had a lecture of Mr. K.G. Suresh in which he taught us set-up of News agency and Newspapers. He started delivering the lecture in set-up of news agencies and Newspapers. Every news agency, he said, has a board of directors, consisting of independent members mostly editors of different newspapers. He taught that unlike newspapers, News agency doesn’t have their editorial policy. And News agency’s  set-up is also not much different from that of the newspaper. At the top of the news agency’s set-up is ‘editor-in-chief’, then ‘executive editor’ heading ‘National Bureau’ & ‘Regional Bureaus’. ‘National bureau’ consists of ‘Feature & magazines section’, ‘legal editor’, ‘chief of bureau’, ‘sports editors’, ‘political editor’, and ‘Financial editor’. ‘Regional Bureaus’ are sub-divided into ‘Delhi Bureau’, Kolkata, Chennai & Mumbai bureaus.
