Customer was the king

Globalisation, which brought in competition in different sectors, has made people remark that earlier customer was king, now he is dictator. Sadly, this is not so. Many new-generation banks and other firms go all out to woo customers. Their pleasing ways and refined manners end once the customer avails of a loan or buys a product. Recently, a customer found his wireless phone battery, provided by a private telephone company, out of charge. The firms customer care centre did not have a clue about formalities for replacement. The customer contacted a local office and was told to purchase the battery from outside. The employee who directed the customer also did not know where to find a battery with company specifications.

HISTORY OF NEWS PAPER

The newspaper can initially be defined as a written means of conveying current information. In this sense the first organized attempt to provide such a service occurred in ancient Rome Empire. During Julius Caesars reign their was also the actadiurna daily announcement of the government and other activities that were posted in the capital public place. The earliest printed news bulletins appeared in china, with a court gazette issued during Tsanga dynasty (618-906BC) and read primary by government officials, although scholars were later added to its readership. A latter significant development after cited by historians was the issuing of news latter by the fugger family of germany, a powerful clan of merchants of bankers in 15th and 16th centuries there agents operated in nearly every part of the known world and sent in reports of business of other affairs from their posts. The reports were combined and circulated by means of the news latters to all the units in fugger an organization newspaper history in India is inextricably tangled with political history wrote A.E.Charltone (Wolseley 3). James Augustus Hicky was the founder of Indias first newspaper the Calcutta general advertiser also known as Hickys Bengal gazette in 1780 soon other newspapers came into existence in Calcutta and madras: The Calcutta gazette, the Bengal journal the oriental magazine the madras courier and the Indian gazette. Enjoyed governmental patronage including free postal circulation and advertisement, Hickys Bengal gazette earned the rules wrath due to its criticism of the government. In November 1780 its circulation was halted by government decree. Hicky protested against this arbitrary harassment without avail, and was imprisoned the Bengal gazette and the India gazette were followed by the Calcutta gazette which subsequently became the governments medium for making its general orders (Sankhdher 2432) The Bombay herald, the statement in Calcutta and the madras mail and the Hindu, along with many others rivals in Madras represented the metropolitan voice of India and its people. While statesman voiced the English rules voice, the Hindu became the beacon of patriotism in the south. The Hindu was founded in madras as a counter to the madras mail. Patriotic movement grew in proportion with the colonial ruthlessness, and a vehicle of information dissemination became a tool for freedom struggle. In the struggle for freedom, journalist in the twentieth century performed a dual role as professional and nationalists. Indeed many national leaders, from Gandhi to Vajpayee, were journalist as well. Calcutta, Madras, Bombay and Delhi were main four centres of urban renaissance which nourished news in India. It was only during and after the seventies especially after Indhira Gandhis defeat in 1977 that regional language newspapers became prevalent. There were nationalistic echoes from the linguistic regional provinces. Bengal, Gujarat, Tamil, Karalla, Punjab, and Uttar Pradesh produced dailies in regional languages. Hindu and Urdu were largely instrumental in voicing the viewpoint and aspiration of both Hindus and Muslim of the Northern provinces. As communalism and religious intolerance increased before and after partition, Urdu remained primarily the language of Muslims as Pakistan choose this language as its language as its lingue France. After partition the cause of Urdu and its newspaper, suffered a setback as Hindu reactionaries be gan to recognize the association of Urdu with Islam and Pakistan. 7 BABASAB PATILFREEPPTMBA.COM

BACKGROUND & GENERAL CHARCTERSTICS
CUSTOMER SATISFACTION ON VIJAY KARNATAKANEWS PAPER India is the worlds largest democracy its mass media culture a system that has evolved over centuries, is comprised of a complex framework. Modernization has transformed this into a communications network that sustains the pulse of a democracy about 1.1 billion people. Indias newspaper evolution is nearly unmatched in world press history. Indias newspaper industries and its westernization or modularisation as French would call it go hand in hand. Indias press is metaphor for its advancement in the globalise world. The printing press preceded the advent of printed news in India by about 100 years. It was in1674 that the first printing apparatus was established in Bombay followed by Madras 1772. Indias first newspaper, Calcutta general advertises, also known as Hickys Bengal Gazette was established in January 1780, and the first Hindi daily, Sam char sudha varshan, began in 1854. The evolution of the Indian media since has been fraught with development difficulties. Illiteracy, colonial constraints and repression poverty and apathy thwart interest in news and media. Within this framework it is instructive to examine Indias press in two board analytical section: pre-colonial times and the colonial, independent press (which may, again be classified into two: preceding and following the emergency rule imposed by Indhira Gandhis government in 1975.) the post emergency phase. This continues at the present, May the third independent phase of India newspaper revolution (JEFFREY????)
THE NATURE OF THE AUDIENCE
CUSTOMER SATISFACTION ON VIJAY KARNATAKANEWS PAPER While a majority of the poor working people in rural and urban areas still remain oppressed and even illiterate, a significant proportion of people roughly about 52 percent of the population over 15 years of age were record as being able to read and write. That breaks down to 65.5 percent of males and an estimate of 37.7 percent of females. After the liberalization of the economy, the growth of the industries, and a rise in literacy, and consumerism. Since private enterprise began to sustain pay off, mass communications picked up as a growth industries. In 1976 the register of newspaper for India had recorded 875 papers; in 1995 there were 4453 Robin Jeffrey comments: Newspaper did not expand simply because the technology was available to make Indian scripts live as they had not been able to live before. Nor did newspaper grow simply because more people knew how to read and write. They grew because more people knew how to read and write. They grew because entrepreneur detected a growing hunger for information among over- widening section of Indias people, who were potential consumers as well as newspaper readers. A race began to reach this audience advertising avenues were the prizes and these would come largely to newspaper that could convince advertisers that they had more readers than their rivals. Readers, meanwhile, were saying implicitly: we will read newspaper that tell us about ourselves and reflect our concerns.(48) Common contenders for readership and advertising are: the national herald, the Hindustan times, time illustrated weekly, e pioneer, and film fare.
DIVERSITY AND THE LANGUAEGE PRESS

Naresh khanna summarizes the trends in circulatory growth and decline varied in regional language paper during 1998-2000: In the three year period from 1998-2000, circulation of dailies in the country increased marginally from 58.37 to 59.13 million copies. This represents a growth of 1.3 percent on the basis of data published by the register of newspaper for India in its annual reports. In this time, two distinct group of newspaper emerge the first including five languages that have collectively grown in copies. Amongst these newspapers, those in Malayalam and Bengali grew fastest at 12.9 percent and 12.8 percent respectively, while Hindi dailies grew by 5 percent and English dailies by 4.7 percent over the three year period. Although Marathi newspaper increased circulation by 2.75 percent over the three years it would seem that they are in danger of falling out of this group and perhaps entering the phase of stagnation and circulation decline (Khanna 2002) The second group 0f stagnating and declining circulation includes newspaper seven languages with a combined circulation of 14.8 million copies in 2000. These dailies lost almost 1.8 million copies(10.62 percent)of their combined circulation in the last three years. Daily newspaper circulation plummeted most dramatically in Telugu, which fell from 2.28 million to 1.68 million copies, a fall of more than 26 percent. Urdu newspaper circulation fell by more than 12 percent and Tamil dailies circulation declined by 10.8 percent with circulation of Gujarat dailies falling by 10.5 percent. Over the same period circulation of Oriya dailies declined by 2.8 percent and that of 10 BABASAB PATILFREEPPTMBA.COM
CUSTOMER SATISFACTION ON VIJAY KARNATAKANEWS PAPER Punjabi dailies by 3.2 percent. Although over the three years Kannada newspaper show an insignificant fall in circulation seem to have entered a period of stagnation and decline of their awn. It would seem that in spite of new edition being added by Hindi, English, Malayalam and Bengali dailies, the print media is loosing its dominance of advertising market share to television, radio and outdoor media (Khanna 2002). Indias language newspaper enjoy relatively new entrepreneurial prowess. A mutually convenient relationship between the owners and capitalist keeps a financial balance between local / regional and national spheres in both private and public sector. Like coral in reef newspaper grew and died in a process inseparable from the creation of a public sphere in the classical liberal sense. Individual proprietors sometimes brought to their newspapers a crusaders zeal for a particular cause or a diehards loathing for a rival (Jeffrey 105). The second press commission in 1982 tried to liberate the press from the monopoly houses. In 1995 the audit bureau of circulation had 165 newspapers as members, with a combined circulation of about 16 million copies a day. The top ten newspapers control roughly 50 percent of daily circulations (Jeffrey 108). While capitalist sustained national newspaper, the big houses, dalmias jains, Geonka, monopolized and corrupted free journalism. The family and caste controlled small newspaper regionally maintain their freedom from big monopolies, thriving on their loyal supporters in north and south India. Diversity of ownership is reflective of cultural variation in Indias multilingual landscape. Twenty one newspapers control two third of all circulation.
PRESS IN INDIA
Much of Indias legal framework is built upon its colonial legacy. Legal statutes and regulations have been undergoing certain changes as Indias freedom came at a high cost. The country was divided. Indias border conflict with two hostile neighbours 11 BABASAB PATILFREEPPTMBA.COM
CUSTOMER SATISFACTION ON VIJAY KARNATAKANEWS PAPER which forced at least three large scale wars eclipsed other political issues. The democratic process, corrupted by criminals, unscrupulous bureaucrats and politicians, created a social climate that widened social and economic inequality. Freedom of speech and expression is a constitutionally guaranteed fundamental right of the Indian people. Article 19 (1;a) ensures the implicit freedom but Article 19 (2) qualifies this in explicit terms. The parliamentary proceeding (protection of publication) Act of 1977 and the prevention of publication of objectionable matter (Repeal Act) of 1977 further reinforce and restrict these freedoms. While constitutional guarantees ensure freedom of the press and expression, press and media are obligated by self regulatory systems of ethics that protect individuals and organization from libellous behaviour. Freedom of the press is an institutional freedom wrote sachin sen (19). The press council bill of 1956, introduced in the Indian parliament, stipulated the establishment of the press council of India representing working journalist, the newspaper management literacy bodies and the parliament. The Indian press commission. Accepted the following postulate: Democratic society lives and grows by accepting ideas, by experimenting with them, and where necessary rejecting them .The press is responsible part of democratic society (quoted sen 42). While the central press accreditation committee seeks to ensure quality and selfrenewal, the press council of India was established in 1966 to uphold editorial autonomy. Restriction on free speech was imposed after Indhira Gandhis Infamous emergency rule. The press council off India was abolished after Editor George Vargheses criticism of the Indhira government. The minister of information and broadcasting carefully regulates the press and its liberties. The maintenance of internal security Act (MISA) Was enforced to intimidate reputedly autonomous newspaper in the seventies. The press council, resurrected in 1979 has no legal standing to impose penalties. The Indian press generally believed as managed is a self restrained institution generally reluctant to take on the governmental policies. All India Radio (AIR) and its management exemplify this man aged system. The credit for the bringing out the first full fledged printed newspaper in India goes to jams Augustus Hicky. The first issue appeared on January 29, 1780 in Calcutta bearing the title The Bengal Gazette or the Calcutta general advertise. But before Hicky started his newspaper an attempt was made by William bolts a sincere sevant of the east India Company, who have registered earlier to start a newspaper to give expression to the difference existing between the opposing groups in the east India Company. But bolts attempted to start a newspaper. Bengal Gazette was also called Hickys Gazette because Hicky was the founder editor printer and promoter all rolled in one that paper. It was a weekly paper. The paper was clumsily printed. The reading matter was less and the advertisement was more and there were comments on the personal offers of individuals. When Hicky started his newspaper he announced his motive: I have no particular passion for the printing of newspaper, I have no propensity, I was not bred to a slavish life of hard work, yet I take 12 BABASAB PATILFREEPPTMBA.COM
CUSTOMER SATISFACTION ON VIJAY KARNATAKANEWS PAPER pleasure in enslaving my body in order to purchase freedom for my mind and soul. Hicky Gazette was published in English language. This was the first regular newspaper in India. Hickys first issue carried out news but not fresh and up to date like the newspaper of today. In those days of difficult transportation for eign newspaper usually took months to reach Indian shore; subsequent issue of the Bengal Gazette enlightened the readers with comment on peoples domestic affairs a species of service, which kept society gossiping. Hicky announced the policies of his paper and declared that this was a weekly political and commercial paper open to all parties, put influence by none. This paper was primitive one from the point of view of contents printing and publication. But it has the significance of a historical newspaper with the first newspaper in India started the area of Indian journalism, which has developed as the agency for the saving of democracy in the country today. The history of journalism in the pre independent period in India can perhaps be per iodized as follows. The phase 1780 1818 constitutes some kind of pre history, a preparatory phase.

CENSORSHIP
Even though India is committed to the freedom of the press, censorship is not unknown to the media. With increased privatization and entrepreneurial advancement, colonial and bureaucratic censorship no longer exist. However the nexus of criminal politics and unethical monopolies continue to threaten the freedom of press.
Nehru famously said: I would rather have a completely free press with all the dangers involved in the wrong use of that the freedom than a supposed or regulated press (quoted by Karnataka 272). After 1977 peoples interest and involvement in regional and national affairs increased dramatically. This development helped promote the dualism of Indias patriotic passion marked by linguistic chauvinism and national unit.
NEWS AGENCIES
News agencies provide regularity and authenticity to news K.C. Roy is credited with establishing the first Indian news agencies. Which became the associated press of India (API)? However is soon became A British controlled agency unwilling to report about the national freedom movement. The free press of India news agency came into existence under the management of S. Sadanand who have served Reuters. The united press of India. The orient press. The Globe news Agencies. The NAFEN News 16 BABASAB PATILFREEPPTMBA.COM

The cost of running the pool is meeting by the participating members.
The press trust (PTI) Continued to operate the India news Pool desk (INDP) Of the NANAP on behalf of the government of India. India continued to contribute substantially to the daily news file of the pool network. The reception of news into the pool Desk during the year 1998 1999 has been in the range of 20,000 words per day. INDPs own contribution to the pool partners during the year has averaged 7,000 words per day. The organization and structure of Indian news agencies has been undergoing a controversial transformation for quite sometime. This represents a mutual mistrust between private owned news agencies n governmental structure. Their autonomy believed to he crucial for objectivity and fairness is based on their role as cooperative and non profit groups news agencies in general are Discouraged from taking any governmental favours. There is nothing in the Indian constitution however that can prevent government to nationalize its news agencies. There four dominant news agencies India: The press trust of India (PTI); The united news of India (UNI); The Hindustan Sam char (HS) and Sam char Bhatia (SB)

Customer Satisfaction in 7 Steps
It's a well known fact that no business can exist without customers. In the business of Website design, it's important to work closely with your customers to make sure the site or system you create for them is as close to their requirements as you can manage. Because it's critical that you form a close working relationship with your client, customer service is of vital importance. What follows are a selection of tips that will make your clients feel valued, wanted and loved.
1. Encourage Face-to-Face Dealings

This is the most daunting and downright scary part of interacting with a customer. If you're not used to this sort of thing it can be a pretty nerve-wracking experience. Rest assured, though, it does get easier over time. It's important to meet your customers face to face at least once or even twice during the course of a project. My experience has shown that a client finds it easier to relate to and work with someone they've actually met in person, rather than a voice on the phone or someone typing into an email or messenger program. When you do meet them, be calm, confident and above all, take time to ask them what they need. I believe that if a potential client spends over half the meeting doing the talking, you're well on your way to a sale.
2. Respond to Messages Promptly & Keep Your Clients Informed

This goes without saying really. We all know how annoying it is to wait days for a response to an email or phone call. It might not always be practical to deal with all customers' queries within the space of a few hours, but at least email or call them back and let them know you've received their message and you'll contact them about it as soon as possible. Even if you're not able to solve a problem right away, let the customer know you're working on it. A good example of this is my Web host. They've had some trouble with server hardware which has caused a fair bit of downtime lately. At every step along the way I was emailed and told exactly what was going on, why things were going wrong, and how long it would be before they were working again. They also apologised repeatedly, which was nice. Now if they server had just gone down with no explanation I think I'd have been pretty annoyed and may have moved my business elsewhere. But because they took time to keep me informed, it didn't seem so bad, and I at least knew they were doing something about the problems. That to me is a prime example of customer service.
3. Be Friendly and Approachable

A fellow Site Pointer once told me that you can hear a smile through the phone. This is very true. It's very important to be friendly, courteous and to make your clients feel like you're their friend and you're there to help them out. There will be times when you want to beat your clients over the head repeatedly with a blunt object - it happens to all of us. It's vital that you keep a clear head, respond to your clients' wishes as best you can, and at all times remain polite and courteous. 37 BABASAB PATILFREEPPTMBA.COM
4. Have a Clearly-Defined Customer Service Policy

This may not be too important when you're just starting out, but a clearly defined customer service policy is going to save you a lot of time and effort in the long run. If a customer has a problem, what should they do? If the first option doesn't work, then what? Should they contact different people for billing and technical?
enquiries? If they're not satisfied with any aspect of your customer service, who should they tell? There's nothing more annoying for a client than being passed from person to person, or not knowing who to turn to. Making sure they know exactly what to do at each stage of their enquiry should be of utmost importance. So make sure your customer service policy is present on your site -- and anywhere else it may be useful.
5. Attention to Detail (also known as 'The Little Niceties')

Have you ever received a Happy Birthday email or card from a company you were a client of? Have you ever had a personalised sign-up confirmation email for a service that you could tell was typed from scratch? These little niceties can be time consuming and aren't always cost effective, but remember to do them. Even if it's as small as sending a Happy Holidays email to all your customers, it's something. It shows you care; it shows there are real people on the other end of that screen or telephone; and most importantly, it makes the customer feel welcomed, wanted and valued.
6. Anticipate Your Client's Needs & Go Out Of Your Way to Help Them Out
Sometimes this is easier said than done! However, achieving this supreme level of understanding with your clients will do wonders for your working relationship. Take this as an example: you're working on the front-end for your client's exciting new ecommerce endeavour. You have all the images, originals and files backed up on your desktop computer and the site is going really well. During a meeting with your client he/she happens to mention a hard-copy brochure their internal marketing people are developing. As if by magic, a couple of weeks later
CUSTOMER SATISFACTION ON VIJAY KARNATAKANEWS PAPER a CD-ROM arrives on their doorstep complete with high resolution versions of all the images you've used on the site. A note accompanies it which reads: "Hi, you mentioned a hard-copy brochure you were working on and I wanted to provide you with large-scale copies of the graphics I've used on the site. Hopefully you'll be able to make use of some in your brochure." Your client is heartily impressed, and remarks to his colleagues and friends how very helpful and considerate his Web designers are. Meanwhile, in your office, you lay back in your chair drinking your 7th cup of coffee that morning, safe in the knowledge this happy customer will send several referrals your way.
7. Honour Your Promises

It's possible this is the most important point in this article. The simple message: when you promise something, deliver. The most common example here is project delivery dates. Clients don't like to be disappointed. Sometimes, something may not get done, or you might miss a deadline through no fault of your own. Projects can be late, technology can fail and sub-contractors don't always deliver on time. In this case a quick apology and assurance it'll be ready ASAP wouldn't go amiss.
Conclusion
Customer service, like any aspect of business, is a practiced art that takes time and effort to master. All you need to do to achieve this is to stop and switch roles with the customer. What would you want from your business if you were the client? How would you want to be treated? Treat your customers like your friends and they'll always come back.

High income with advertising is only possible with a comparable number of spectators or viewers. On the other hand, the poor performance of a team or a sportsman results in less advertising revenues. Jorgen Hut her and Hans-Jrg Stiehler talk about a Sports/Media Complex which is a complicated mix of media, agencies, managers, sports promoters, advertising etc. with partially common and partially diverging interests but in any case with common commercial interests. The media presumably is at centre stage because it can supply the other parties involved with a rare commodity, namely (potential) public attention. In sports the media are able to generate enormous sales in both circulation and advertising

Kids are among the most sophisticated observers of ads. They can sing the jingles and identify the logos, and they often have strong feelings about products. What they generally don't understand, however, are the issues that underlie how advertising works. Mass media are used not only to sell goods but also ideas: how we should behave, what rules are important, who we should respect and what we should value -- Sunday special (Saptahika Vijay) 49 BABASAB PATILFREEPPTMBA.COM
