Join the desk - without being benched



News flows in through different process and it is not possible for any person to handle everything. Therefore there are different desks. Different desks require different presentation skills and knowledge in specialized areas.

General desk is the nerve center of news desk operations. It is one step ahead of other desks. It has to allocate time for news from all other desks and plays a role in deciding the headlines. It has to be in touch with other desks and also with the bureau. On the alertness of the general desk will depend the number of good stories carried, the number of points scored over competition, and the overall news quality of the channel. 

News list must be updated always.
