Trip to Zee News Limited

On March 29, 2012 we went to ‘Zee News’ to relate news and the things over there to our central idea, i.e. “Media allows us to communicate our ideas and feelings to a wider audience and also impacts our lives”. First, we went to the waiting lounge and asked questions to our guide, Ms Saloni, related to Zee News.
Then, we went to the Zee Business room and saw live coverage in which a news anchor was speaking in front of a camera. Later we went to the Zee News room and spoke to people there.
We went to the editing room and saw a man standing in front of a big green background, but when we saw that on the computer screen the background was a cool animated background. Later we learnt that that is a virtual set on which you can design as per your need.
 Later we went to the library in which old news cassettes were stored for reference in future.
Finally, we went to the board room where we met the C.E.O of Zee News Mr. Barun Das (my dad) who treated us in a wonderful way and gifted us goody bags filled with tasty snacks like Kurkure, chips and chocolates!!!
 
From the trip we learnt how news television works, including news gathering, editing, anchoring etc.
 
THIS TRIP WAS VERY EXCITING AND FULL OF KNOWLEDGE AND FUN
