OVERVIEW OF INDIA NEWSPAPER
India newspaper publication began in Calcutta in the 1780's and by 1800 there were several dozen publications in English, with the numbers increasing periodically. Now, the progress has been so much that every major newspaper from india has an internet edition and you can read an india newspaper online.
There are approximately 5,525 newspapers in India. Official figures are not readily available, but a conservative estimate would be that there are an additional 4,000 titles published elsewhere in India.
Each week, National Readership Survey (NRS) says, the print news media reaches 242 million readers. These enormous numbers, the survey suggests, represent a chain of growth, driven both by expanding literacy and improved living standards
Assuming a population of 620 million adults over the age of 15, as NRS does, that means well over 25 million people in India have begun to read a newspaper or magazine for the first time in these two years.

Tha newspaper was launched at the Gateway of India by Vilasrao Deshmukh, the Chief Minister of Maharashtra and Abhishek Bachchan on 2005-05-29.
Mumbai Mirror was launched by The Times Group after Hindustan Times and DNA announced plans to enter the Mumbai market. Mumbai Mirror was advertised and publicised in its own sister media networks like The Times of India, Bombay Times, and Radio Mirchi.
The Times of India published a story in its business section which said that it had a circulation of 1.5 lakhs while Mid-day's circulation had dropped to 1.24 lakhs. This led to a counter attack by MiD DAY claiming that Mumbai Mirror was an "Unqualified flop according to industry sources". It also filed a complaint with Audit Bureau of Circulation, (ABC) of which both MiD DAY and Times are members. The MiD DAY complaint says that the Times report has damaged its business interests.

The main paper covers national news. Over ten years of presence, it is has become a benchmark for the Page 3 social scene.
It is known for frothy coverage of parties, lifestyle events and feature stories in the city of Mumbai. At worst, certain disgruntled critics dismiss it as a paper that "isn't serious", but its popularity and brand value among its target audience is undeniable. The front page of the paper is one of the most eagerly-read pages in the city of Mumbai.
The Times of India - and thereby the Bombay Times - are market leaders in terms of circulation.
IMPORTANCE OF NEWSPAPER DESIGN
Stories and photographs are not the only elements that convey the news to readers; good design tells a story too. Whether the design is simple or complex, the way the story and photos are designed is a part of the news package as a whole. If a page is designed poorly, people may not read a really great story.
ELEMENTS AVAILABLE TO DESIGNERS
Newspapers are made up of more than just stories and photographs, there are many elements a designer can use to help the story stand out for the reader.
These elements are: stories - the main source of news
photographs - the main illustration of the news
cutline's - tells the reader what is going on in the photo, the names of persons in the frame and the photographers name
sidebars - information related to the story that is significant on its own, pertinent to the reader and fills out the whole news package
….CONTINUED
headlines - brief description of the story
refers - a text element that refers the reader to another page in the paper or to online content
pull quotes - interesting quotes from the story that can be understood without reading the story, but make the reader want to
mug shots - tightly cropped photos of a person's head that are used to identify the main players in the article
breakout boxes - similar to sidebars but contain information from the story that calls the reader to action, such as the time and location of an event being reported on
DISTRIBUTION PROCESS OF NEWSPAPER INDUSTRY
* The newspaper sales involve distributing highly perishable products under severe time constraints.
* The printed newspapers have to be dispatched to various distributors across the region. Transportation is normally through private contract carriers within local area, public transport in case of longer distances and through couriers in other cases.
* The newspaper distributor has the rights to distribute the newspaper in his area. The revenue of the newspaper distributor is based on a commission on the sale of every newspaper. The circulation is normally through salesmen appointed and salaried by the distributors, who in turn pass it on to hawkers.
* Hawkers, vendors and book stall owners are the last link of the supply chain before newspaper reaches readers. The hawkers' remuneration is also normally based on the commission system and is generally the highest in the entire supply chain.
* Responsiveness and efficiency play an important role in newspaper distribution channel. Responsiveness includes supply chain's ability to respond to wide a range of quantity demanded (due to demand fluctuations) and meet short lead times. On the other hand efficiency is the cost of making and delivering the newspaper to the readers.
TIME MANAGEMENT :
Time management is very important as the executives have to visit morning centers at around 5 to 5.30 a.m. in the morning to meet the vendors to ensure the timely delivery of newspapers.
Morning centers are places where all the newspapers are dropped and vendors come here to collect newspapers for their locality.
Most of the activities happen between 3.30 a.m to 5.30 a.m. Within this short span they have to meet the vendors and ensure they are regularly supplying the newspapers.

STEPS TO RECYCLE A NEWSPAPER
De-inking The first step in recycling newspaper is to remove all that smelly, dirty ink. The
initial load of newspapers are dumped into a chemical detergent solution. They are slushed through while the detergent dissolves the ink so that it can be carried away. At this point, the newspaper looks like a naked, slushy and still kind of dirty pile of paper.
Filtering Next, the slushy pile of paper is sent through a filtering process to remove all
foreign articles that might be attached to the newspapers, which includes things like staples, bits of tape, dirt, dead houseflies or a crumb from your morning muffin.
Bleaching The newspaper at this point is still slushy, and though it's cleaner it isn't the sparkly
white we all want to see when we open up a new box of printer paper. So the slushy pile must next be bleached to draw out all the color and produce the plain white of new paper look. After or even during the bleaching process, the slushy newspaper will get a bit of backbone added in the form of additional wood pulp.
….CONTINUED
Draining At this point, things are looking better. The pile of old newspaper is ink-
free, strong enough to be reformed, but still very slushy. So it's loaded onto rolling conveyor belts that are made of screens. As the newspapers roll down the line, the excess liquid drips out and soon the paper is ready to be reborn.
Ironing At the end of the conveyor line, the now non-slushy paper is fed into
gigantic rollers. These rollers use heat and pressure to draw out any remaining moisture and flatten the recycled paper into new paper.
Finishing The new paper is trimmed to the correct size, rolled and sent to become
another newspaper, so it can look forward to experiencing that whole recycling process again
