Try Chesukondi, "Chief" ga...
Will you believe? news papers and channels are in serious search for their bureau chiefs/ News Incharges in vizag. Unfortunately availability of seniors for these posts is by and large nil here. The only way to find out is to offer more salaries and get them from the existing organisations. New channels and papers are now in job of inquiring about potential persons who can lead their bureaus and are prepared to offer 25,000/- to 30,000/-.
Except Eenadu in regional news papers other journalists are hardly getting half of the salaries mentioned above. Same in case of bureau chiefs also. So people leading reporting bureaus eyed on the coming new papers and channels. Eenadu reporters are not interested to join in the new news papers Saakshi and Surya for 4-5 thousands hike. Most of the Eenadu people don't want to experiment with these papers. They remember how their friends are cheated by Vaartha group earlier. Jagan also tried for the Eenadu people offering big salaries but not succeeded for this reason only. He is now aimed on AndhraJyothi and Vaartha people to fulfill his manpower needs which became a scarcity in media in the present situation.
Unfortunately there are not even half a dozen seniors (not mentioning senior mosts) in Vizag who are capable of handling bureaus. Vaartha Bureau incharge YugundharReddy very eagerly waiting for Saakshi offer. He rejected Surya aiming for Saakshi only. People in Vaartha knows that assurances about hike by management is only a eye wash. So, they are looking mostly for Saakshi offers. But seniors in Vaartha want's Saakshi people to ask them, otherwise bargain will not be in favour of them. Vaartha Jayamuni campaigning that he is the bureau chief of Saakshi for Vizag as his brother Patanjali is taken as Editor in Chief.
After departure of YugundharReddy, Andhra Jyothi is suffering from bureau incharge need. This paper is now badly in need of potential reporting incharge. They waited for more than a year for new person and failed to get. This situation went favourable to most incapable person Ratnam (who is less than a Staff reporter and more than contributor) and is named as temporary incharge. Differences between SambasivaRao and Adinarayana also helped Ratnam even he is hopeless fellow.
Vaartha Ex Bureau Chief ShivaShankar (working with Gemini news) is comfortable because of Welfare Malla VijayaPrasad evening daily Vision. He is running the paper on profit sharing basis. He is not interested with new news papers and channels. Some of the media friends thought he may join NTV with help of Power minister Shabbir Ali. But he is enjoying the present positions both in Gemini and Vision.
Surya paper recruited Kulapathi, Peddada Prasad, SrinivasaChary along with Srikanth as Staff Reporters for Vizag. They want a potential person to lead the bureau. No media person are dare to join as bureau chief with a hopeless team like Kulapathi, SrinvasaChary. Surya management is still in trails to get a senior person for their reporting bureau. RamaRao who worked in small papers in Eluru is news coordinator in vizag may be a disadvantage for the person who join Surya. The only reason for RamaRao appointment is; he is from the town of Surya Chairman SuryaprakasaRao and closely associated with him in Eluru.
Senior mosts Ex Eenadu, Ex Jyothi RamaRaju (Business Standard), Ex Andhra Bhoomi Murali Krishna like people may not be considered by the new organisations because of their over seniority. Ex Eenadu Ramanjaneyulu is busy with his activity and Ex AndhraJyothi Bramhanandham taking care of his canteens.
Coming to TV channels Rajesh (Ex TV9) joined as regional coordinator in TV5 is out for the reasons unknown. He had associated with this channel for 2, 3 months. TV5 had limited vizag center only with staff reporter. NTV also following same lines. Prasad is the reporter for vizag. Experienced persons for electronic media in vizag can be counted on fingers. Rajesh who had gap for 1- 1 1/2 years from the field must struggle to get a chance from Channels and Papers. If ITV, proposed AndhraJyothi TV, Surya TV materialises in the first half of 2008 there will be lot of demand for electronic media reporters.
