Along with reporting I also learnt a little bit about editing because after writing
stories we used to exchange them with colleagues for editing and vise versa.

grammar, word use. How to use style manuals such as Capitalization, numbers
abbreviations signs and symbols.

Crux express is a soft ware used for designing the layout of Campus
Bulletin. the in charge of our internship program stressed that internees should
familiar themselves with quark xpress but there was only one computer in the
news room which was not enough for all internees to learn along with covering
the stories .I learnt some shortcut keys used in crux express such as

Alt +shift +ctrl=zooming of picture
Ctrl +z=undo
Ctrl+ [=to increase text size
Ctrl=] =for decrease
I also learnt form this internship to judge news values. It helps me to understand

good reporter If he has the knowledge of to show accuracy, balance clarity in his

experience.
I covered these stories with great joy. There are limited equipments uses in

organizer of the event wanted to see a card. They provided me information by
showing this card I faced problems for receiving this card because it was limited

fellows told me about the event which was to be held at Lincon cornor of the

had also gathered. This event was about the red feather woman named Lakota,

Late publication
Campus Bulletin is published after every 15 days which is very long time for a
publication. A student could hardly meet to complete his or her required stories
in the specified time of internship.
I would like to suggest tat it should be published daily as a regular news paper so
it will meet every students need.
3.
Shortage of the computer system is other serious problem which cant provide a
chance to the internees of Campus Bulletin to work on it so few students get a
chance to learn page makeup designing etc
I would like to suggest that many more computers network should be provided
in the news room so that each and every internee of the Campus Bulletin could
avail the opportunity of learning the act of editing reporting etc. one by one to
work and compose their own stories.

Develop interest
Majority of the students it seems, do not take interest in reading Campus Bulletin
so the circles of its readers is very limited to extend the circle of its readers the
paper need to be made more diverse, up-to-date, current, colorful, live and
interesting .

To make more attractive it should be color printed to enhance the computer skills
related designing newspaper format regular classes must be given.
