..about bogus immigration ads & Massages or sex ads & our news paper responsibilities
I fully agree with you FN when you say Newspapers should have some responsibilities too. It seems our newspapers (like our politicians) do any thing for money and for them every little counts or for that matter every hundred Rupees count (minimum for Classified ad). Who cares whether the ads are genuine or fake ? Amchem amkam meuliar puro. I remember, sometime back, Herald in it editorial under caption 'Be Strict' asking the government to be strict when it comes to bogus recruiting agencies/ads etc. It is needless to mention here that the Newspapers themselves can play very important role by being strict with the advertisers by keeping stricter checks on what they advertise or on what material they received for advertisements etc But, as I said, they would do anything for money. See below some of my past posts on bogus Immigration ? and Goa Massage parlour ads. And talking about the advertisement, It seems Herald is now No.1 in terms of revenue receipts from advertisements. Most prefer H be it a miniter birthdays bash ads etc and coming months are more profitable ones (in view of forthcoming election) when one can see every body celebrates his/her birthday be it a village panch, sarpanch, MLA, Minister, MP. Some others also claim to be a social worker for the first time. e.g. On Sept. 10, putting together all ads, there were more than 8 full pages ads on NT/H alone and jointly must have earned about 5.5 lacs on Minister alone (Pandurang Madkaikar) Next lined up must be Harrish Zantey Sept. 22, , Rajesh Pantnekar (MLA Bicholim)23rd Sept, Vinay Tendulkar Sanvordem MLa 25th Sept. Plus coming up in October Francis D Soza MapusaMLA, Mathany Saldhana, Vinay Canacona MLA. Followed by Manohar Azgaokar, Sudin Davilkar Minister, Karl Vaz Murmagao mla,Joquim Alemao etc then in DEC comes Parrikar, Babush, Micky etc etc Jan being CM Rane etc H also gets up to 50% more death ads than NT besides all Tiatr related ads. NT , as on 1st Sept. increased it price from 2.30 to Rs. 3 followed by H few days later. GT Still remains Rs.2 Following estimate/stats might also interests you: (randomly taken from March this year) NT earns up to Rs.40,000 per day on Classified ads H earns up to Rs.20,000 GT about Rs.1,500 Again, NT up to 7 pages (out of 18) as Display ads H up to 7 pages (o/o 18) GT up to 3.5 (o/0 16) How much an ad cost ? Well, Minimum Rs.100 for Ten words and then after Rs.2 per word (Classified ads as per Nov 2005 rates)) under display, size 5"x8" (size of a typical credit card) charges are Rs.2,200 (as per march 2006 rates) and there could be up to 32 such credit cards space per page i.e. Rs.67,700 Average say 5.5 pages per days = Rs.3,72,350 (display ads) + Rs.40,000 (Classified)+ daily sale of newspaper copies say 1 lac copies x 3 = Total about av. Rs. 7.2 lacs per day ? Avois!! ======= JoeGoaUk seriously thinking of taking up this type of business any body else interested in this joint venture ? We can fix our price At Rs.2 and rest we can claim from advertisers. ======== Bogus immigrations ads ? http://lists.goanet.org/pipermail/goanet-goanet.org/2006-April/042017.html Goa Massages or sex Trade ads ? http://lists.goanet.org/pipermail/goanet-goanet.org/2006-April/042053.html Quote: Re: [Goanet] Will any Goan....re casteism in the Church I think Cecil is being unduly soft on the media. If the newspapers feeled the pinch, they would react. While newspapers reflect society, they also shape it. So they have responsibilities. They can be either a tonic or a narcotic for the mental health of a society. And what is the record in Goa? * A section of the media in Goa is promoting the sex trade, either unknowingly or for the Rs 100 or so they earn from every classified advert: http://puggy.symonds.net/pipermail/goajourno/2006-June/002832.html FN [EMAIL PROTECTED] for Goa & NRI related info... http://in.groups.yahoo.com/group/GOAN-NRI/ Konkani Songs, Goan Photos, Tiatr/Film VCDs, Bank interest rates etc etc (for updates etc click below) http://in.groups.yahoo.com/group/GOAN-NRI/files/ ___________________________________________________________ Yahoo!
