GEMINI Games ...( this story http://www.apmediatruth.blogspot.com/

-This story ---- http://www.apmediatruth.blogspot.com/--------
Gemini TV which lost the viewership and ratings from past 2 years is now depending on Megastar Chiranjeevi movie Shankardada Zindabad, which is coming from home production of Gemini group. They are trying to attract the fans of Chiru by giving special programmes, special updates and promos of the movie. They are not even inviting other channel crew or allowing them to cover the happenings of the movie even on special requests. Only MAA TV is able to get "some" kind of information on the movie.

Adding to the above news, GEMINI group today rejected promos and updates of Shankar Dada Zindabad to MAA TV too. Does Gemini thinks that people of Andhra watch only Gemini and Teja News?

Come on Gemini team, live in reality and know the truth even if its hard
to digest.

1.v.srinivas (andhra jyothy current business desk incharge)
2.subba rao (eenadu business senior reporter)
3.singa rao (former eenadu business desk incharge)
4.madhu babu (former eenadu business desk incharge and current ntv business desk editor)
5.vasant kumar (tv-9 business desk incharge)

above said five giants...
Mr. v.srinivas may win the race. the 'bald and bold nice guy'has good name in business journalism circle. will radha krishna loose him? time will tell?
according reliable sources...
recently srinivas got promotion as news editor and salary hike of Rs. 10,000. very soon he will be send to a foreign tour also. He will be provided by a maruti zen car too.
srinivas is close associate to murali (former aj central desk inchage and current "saakshi" general bureau incharge and recritent incharge). murali is very determined to take srinias.
so guys be ready to watch mind games between murali vs radha krishna....
who will win? defenitely murali will win...what would u say?
second choice would be subba rao..
one time famous crime reporter and political reporter of eenadu subba rao turned business reporter three years back. he has firm hold and good relations in business circle. he has done good interviews with business tycoons.
another choice would be singa rao, madhu babu, vasant kumar…these guys will lead saakshi business desk very easily.both guys has tremendous knowledge of business journalism..
lets wait and watch...
bye...bye

Sir, - Gemini has not been able to make an impact on viewers because of its poor programme content - be it long-drawn out serials running into unending episodes with little content or other features or even news coverage.

Many serials, with woman enacting dominant roles, are highly emotionally loaded, with a lot of melodrama, weeping scenes and heavy dialogues which surely are not the cup of average Andhra viewers. Such tedious serials, with some woman characters looking like villains, and running into several episodes may go down with audience elsewhere.

A photogenic face which can express the mood of a news report coupled with radiogenic voice is a must for newscasters - whether language news readers or english news readers. Synchronisation with visuals when reading news is essential.

If the language is faulty and unbearable, people swap channels in a split second.

Cinema-based programmes are inevitable for channels but cinema and its presiding deities alone are not the be-all-and-end-all of existence. Because anything excess breeds contempt. Similarly viewers abhor cheap humour in the name of comedy.

TV programming is an art and a single smart and brainy anchor can pull through a one-hour slot without any difficulty and to the delight of viewers.

Thanking you.

Yours sincerely,
Pisipati Sriram,
Hyderabad.

"surya daily" launching has been postponed to october. if the surya daily not launch in october..it may be never start.
the reasons are below:
1.lack of man power and lack of good, quality incharges.
2. due to lack of man power "NOOKARAPU SURYAPRAKASHA RAO" has decided to drop four editon centres.
3. ysr sharma (gaddam sharma of eenadu)is planning to leave "surya" ...he is all set to join "indira tv" or "saakshi daily".
4. ramana rao (assistent editor), satya murthy (editor)worried about this latest development.
5. cine actor jagapathi babu filed a case against nookarapu suryaprakasha rao. nookarapu debt to jagapathi babu around Rs.50,00,000 lakhs.
6. famous pandits said that vaastu of newly built surya daily office is not good. those who work in this building may get illness. Their living life may shorten.
HEY GUYS...
I AM NOT AGAINST "SURYA DAILY"
AS A WELL WISHER OF JOURNALISTS I AM SAYING THIS...FINAL DECISION IS YOURS..
IF U JOIN "SURYA DAILY" YOU WILL LOOSE YOUR HEALTHY LIFE....BE CAREFUL..
BYE

Raghu Kumar, Chief News Editor of Gemini will continue for one more year as the management has renewed his contract. So, he can earn yet another 20 lakhs of extra income. His bill collector vasudevan backstabbed him in the collection accounts and is going to be removed soon. On knowing that his cunning practices were known to the boss and that his days are numbered, Vasudevan approached Sri Venkateswara Channel (TTD)and told them that he is in charge of Gemini for so many years!

Hello, Gemini Kiran and Manohar Prasad, are you watching this ?
Feel proud that you are gifting GOD a loafer !
Raghu Kumar may even feel envy and try for himself. But the problem is, he cannot squeez money from reporters there. Thats the pity!!

So, Karunakara Reddy garu, enquire about Vasudevan , the Idiot before accepting his candidature. Your friends in Tirupati must be knowing about this rascal since he worked in Andhra Jyothi at Tirupati.

God, save your own channel from dirty fellows like this.

There is exodus from Gemini now. Creative people from the programming dept are now joining Asianet. Mr. Chintaa Sudhakar, Chief Cameraman and Mr. Bhootamaapuram Shiva Kumar, Script Writer and Director have already given notices of resignation. The others to follow them are keeping it a secret. Raghava, Narsimha and Harikrishna, who were earlier with Gemini and now in Maa are also leaving soon.Mr. G.K.Mohan, the kingpin behind this migration wants to plant his men in all the channels to see that the whole entertainment industry is in his hands. Everybody knows that most of the staff in the programming department people are GK's men. They work part-time in GK's studio without pay. GK's wife Anu Radha is the Head of Programming in Zee Telugu.GK is always seen in Gemini. The equipment of Gemini is always used by GK. Now he is planting his people in Asianet also.Already, Ms. Kavita, one time anchor joined Asianet. Earlier , kavita was anchor for GK's private programme Cheppukondi Chuuddaam. This is game played by GK and everybody must know.

Sir, - Anyone aspiring to join english journalism need to have fairly good command over the language. The aspiring journalist must have sound and good grounding in grammar, particularly good grasp of basics like parts of speech, syntax or sentence construction, active and pasive voice, correct use of prepositions, articles, direct and indirect speech, reporting verb formations etc. These are minimum requirements. The larger the vocabulary, the more flexible the expressions can be.

Good command over english alone is not enough to shine in the field - either reporting or editing. It enables an aspiring journalist to file reports in a relatively flawless english, but what is esential in a report is information or content. For this a reporter has to physically present himself, see for himself and gather the relevant info. Back in the office, he would be able to file accurate reports based on his first hand information and reading of the situation. In other words, any aspiring journo, or leman has to do a lot of leg work for producing news worthy reports. In case of sub-editors the responsibility is much more. They must have good command over english, ability to weed out errors - structural or as well as content inconsistences - clean the copy, give a good, catch or offbeat headlines besides producing the pages by filling the news holes with intertesting news.

The general principles of reporting and editing hold good more or less the same whether one opts for english or language journalism. In vernacular journalism, the sub must have good translation skills - both verbatim and free translation- while subbing copy for their respective pages. Here also, if the reporter/sub has good coommand ovder the language, capable of idiomatic expressions and embellish even ordinary news reports with popular adages and give catch headlines, they would shine in their respective areas.

If journalistic profession is chosen as a means of livelihood and a nine-to-five affair like in government service, one may find it difficult to continue for long in this profession. If one has inherent and abiding interest in this kind of public service activity, where the paypacks, usually are not very attractive, one may enjoy the field with all its inherent deficiences.

A writer or columnist is different from an Editor. Journalism itself is literature in a hurry where the cardinal principle is dissemination, spreading or conveying of information about incidents and developments that affect wider sections of the people, in a simple and straight forward and understandable language.

Thanking you.

Yours sincerely,
pisipati Sriram,
Hyderabad.

the people who were earlier with gemini is not belong to any body's gang. all the creative people like anuradha, geetha, raghava, narasimhulu they are popular becoz of their hard work and innovative programmes. if some one thinks it's gk's hand behind the migrations to other channels, it's obsurd.

every body can easily imagine what gemini's position without gk's valuable suggessions and programmes. may people think he is making money on gemini, but how far it's true? is gemini paying him? no not at all. he is working with gemini for the effection he got towards it. because he started his career with it.

The Bald Headed fellow who thrives on Gemini is known to everybody. He uses all the equipment of Gemini for his studio work. All the staff are appointed on his recommendation only. They have to work extra hours in his studio as he gave them jobs.He blackmails the Gemini Directors and get his work done there. His wife is creative head in ZEE Telugu and he is always seen in Gemini. Can you understand any logic ?
