The Maharashtra government will set up a media monitoring centre to analyse news content of the print, electronic and digital media, and has allocated a budget of Rs 10 crore for the purpose.<\/p>\n
The centre will collect and analyse all factual and misleading news reports in print and broadcast media, and prepare a factual report, according to a government resolution (GR) published on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
If there is a misleading news, it will be clarified in real-time. If there is a negative news, clarification will be given expeditiously, it said.<\/p>\n
The requirement for the centre was felt because of the growth of publications, channels and digital platforms, and there was a need for monitoring under one umbrella how the news related to government schemes, policies is given, the government order said. <\/p>\n
The centre, to work from 8 am to 10 pm every day, will be handled by the Directorate of Information and Publicity. <\/p>\n
The government has given the administrative and financial approval for setting up the centre, the GR said.<\/p>\n
A professional consultant will be hired to collect government-related news in PDF format. The news will be bifurcated into categories like positive, negative news, departments, issues, incidents and individuals.<\/p>\n
During monitoring of the electronic media content, the consultant would provide hourly alerts about trends, mood and tone of the news content.<\/p>\n
The consultant will be hired through an e-tender process for a period of one year. <\/p>\n
The Directorate General of Information and Public Relations (DGIPR) is authorised to extend the consultant’s term to two years if the work is found to be satisfactory.<\/p>\n
The term should not exceed more than three years, the GR said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
