My another unpublished story was about a Farewell party in computer science department Farewell party in computer science department was held in Agha khan auditorium in Journalism and Mass Communication department.

To cover this story, I went to the office of Sir Inam to ask him for providing me a reporter card. After receiving the card, I went to the auditorium, met with its organizer to collect the data for my story. After asking all my questions he provided me full information and then I tried to make a story about it and to submit it to the editor for editing. This story was not published because of limited space.My next story was titled News internship training in radio journalismOne month based news internship is an effective training program introduced in Journalism Department to make students to know about radio journalism.

As a student of journalism I did this tanning program for one month. It was a good experience for me and I made three radio programs on different issues and social problems etc.In this training I learnt the usage of the tape recorder and doing vox pops from different people, conducting interviews etc. After completion of my radio training program, I decided to make a story on it. So for this purpose I discussed with Sir Inam (in charge of my internship program)that I have a knee interest to write an article on it.He agreed and advised me to make a list of questions and collect information from the staff members of the program. He further told me to make a comprehensive story about it so that it could help the students to understand its importance.

So I prepared myself to cover it. For this purpose I met with Sir Numan (media organizer) and lecturer of news internship program.He was kind enough to provide me proper answers to my questions. To make it more informative, I took some comments from those students who already did it. Different students elaborated its importance in different ways. After collecting information I wrote an article on it and handed it over to the editor for editing.Models Exhibition in Botany departmentWhen I came to know about the exhibition in botany department, I informed the editor of the Campus Bulletin about it. He told me to collect information from its organizer as he could provide me the authenticated information. After the classes were over, I went to the botany department.

This exhibition was held on 26th March 2008 in the University of Peshawar. It was arranged by students of the final year. To make this exhibition more eventful, the students expressed messages through models and charts of environmental pollution. Students of different departments visited the event and took active participation in it. I also enjoyed the event a lot by observing different models and charts of the environment pollution. I asked form each organizer of those models about its purpose and every one explained their views in different ways. I have colleted some comments from Sonia, a students of psychology department. She said that she enjoyed the exhibition a lot and said that art work is a fantastic. Rabia, another student stated that she liked the exhibition especially because it can provide information related to environmental pollution and provide incentives for controlling environmental pollution.

Dr.ABRAR was the organizer of this exhibition. After the exhibition ended I met with him and asked about its purpose.He stated that the main objective of arranging this exhibition was to raise awareness of the students about environmental pollution.

General problems faced in Campus Bulletin

As an internship program in Campus Bulletin I faced some general problems. During this specified period of time I observed that other internees are also facing the same problems.

Following I mentioned a few drawbacks in Campus Bulletin.

Lack of computer set: there is only one computer in the newsroom it was difficult for all internees to get chance as they were in large number. It was difficult for each and ever students to work on computer such as compose the stories, learning about Quark express etc.

Lack of camera: there was only one camera available in Campus Bulletin it created difficulty for internees to use the camera. Due to shortage of camera all internees could not take a picture for his/her story. I also faced the same problem while covering one of my story to get a picture I used my own cell phone camera.

Lack of reporter cards: it was another problem faced by all internees along with me. Reporter card was issued to the internees of Campus Bulletin to identify his or her as a reporter before covering the events. Some internees were provided those cards at the beginning and the rest remained without cards. Due to lack of this card I could not cover two stories at the beginning of my internship program.

Late publication: it is published after every fifteen days. Our second edition published very late due to this internees story remained incomplete. It became difficult for internees to complete their required five to six stories at least during the internship. Some internees could only publish three to four storiesThese were the general problems face by every internee along with me. Beside this personally I did not face such series problems but some times I come to face

Shortage of the stories.

Shortage of class time for covering the story.

Number of times other internees had covered the same stores as mine and therefore my story could not be published.

1.Limited pagesCampus Bulletin which is a biweekly newspaper consists of four pages which do not meet the requirement of all the students in one issue.

I would like to suggest that the number of pages should be increased to at least six from four to accommodate maximum stories.

2.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 computer system in newsroom

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.

4.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 .

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

Evaluation of Internship ProgramInternship practical training provides students of graduate and post graduate with the opportunity to gain professional experience in any field they want.

The ideal internship offers students the opportunity to develop their skills to gain a deeper understanding of the professional context of subjects which they study in classes.Internees are expected to do meaningful work that develops their skills in research, writing or editing.

Students of journalism begin to consider possible internship institution towards the end of their final year to receive a degree. At the beginning of internship students submit a list of preferred media institution to the in charge of internship program.An internship committee of staff begins the process of matching interested students preferences. When the media is selected, timing allowed students to gain valuable work experience before beginning their career search. In charge of the internship program evaluate internees performance at the end of their internship period and students evaluate their internship report.

As student of journalism I have chosen practical field to fulfill my desire. For this I started with Campus Bulletin and learnt the art of covering the stories.After completing my internship program in suggested time I wrote a comprehensive report on it where I described my performed tasks.

Some general problems which I faced during my internship program are also mentioned.Here I want to say that internship training is very important or valuable for those students who really want to do something in practical field. It defines career-goals for them. It trains students for the future to have a trained journalists media managers and communication researchers.At the end I am winding my report with great thanks to Dr. Shah Jahan Syed a chairman of Journalism and Mass Communication department for making Campus Bulletin a possible pace to the students of journalism to gain practical experience in the required field.Glossary of Terminologies
