    Samsung’s supreme galaxy series redefines newsroom excellence

    MUMBAI: Samsung, the reigning titan of android innovation, has once again set a benchmark, thrilling tech enthusiasts worldwide with its groundbreaking Galaxy Z Series and S24 Ultra devices.

    In a move that marries cutting-edge technology with journalistic excellence, Samsung has forged an extraordinary alliance with Republic Media Network, India’s largest news broadcaster. This dynamic partnership goes beyond mere collaboration-it’s a masterstroke that blends the supreme power of Samsung’s android ecosystem with the adrenaline-charged world of real-time news delivery.

    Imagine the energy of breaking news powered by the sleek sophistication of the Galaxy Z Series, paired with the unmatched prowess of the S24 Ultra. Together, they promise to reshape how stories are captured, crafted, and delivered across Republic’s English, Hindi, Bangla, and Kannada channels.

    With this synergy, the newsroom isn’t just evolving-it’s transforming into a tech-driven powerhouse, rewriting the rules of modern journalism and reaffirming Samsung’s dominance as the leader in the android universe.

    The partnership introduces Samsung’s flagship devices into the heart of Republic’s operations—from studios to on-ground reportage—enabling journalists to leverage advanced features like pro-camera capabilities, Galaxy AI tools, and live translation for breaking news and primetime broadcasts. This marks a significant leap in the integration of mobile and AI technology in Indian newsrooms.

    The partnership ensures that Republic’s journalists use the Galaxy Z Series/S24 Ultra to improve efficiency, speed, and quality in news delivery. From live-action reporting to high-tech studio segments, the devices will support features like circle to search, photo assist, and interpreter, revolutionising how breaking news and live-action segments are presented. AI-driven tools such as note assist and live translate will also be used for newsroom operations, ensuring lightning-fast information dissemination.

    The collaboration will also see Republic’s primetime shows filmed entirely on the Galaxy S24 Ultra, showcasing the device’s diverse shooting modes, motion capture, and light-setting capabilities. This unique approach brings viewers closer to the action while demonstrating the power of mobile technology in broadcasting.

    Republic Media Network CEO, Hersh Bhandari highlighted the partnership’s transformative potential, “At Republic Media Network, we believe in the power of innovation to drive progress. Our partnership with Samsung underscores our commitment to embracing cutting-edge technology to enhance the way news is created and delivered.

  • Business news anchor Neil Cavuto says goodbye to Fox after 28 years

    Business news anchor Neil Cavuto says goodbye to Fox after 28 years

    MUMBAI: His is a familiar face if you watch Fox business news, in your hotel or when you are traveling overseas visiting relatives or friends or on business. Viewers will no longer get to see Neil Cavuto, one of the better known business news anchors, as well as the sr vice-president & managing editor of business news for both Fox News channel  (FNC) as well as Fox Business News (FBN)

    He also hosts  FNC’s Your World with Neil Cavuto, FNC’s Cavuto  Live and FBN’s Cavuto: Coast to Coast. In addition to anchoring daily programs and breaking news specials on FNC and FBN, Cavuto oversees business news content for both networks and leads special events coverage for FBN.

    Neil, 66,  announced his resignation on air during his afternoon show Your World, saying he was not leaving journalism, he was just leaving Fox.  One of the first anchors to join Fox News when it launched in 1996, he parachuted from CNBC to the Murdoch owned news station.  So he had been there for some 28-odd years.

    The bespectacled anchor used to host some 12 hours of shows every week, according to CNN. He was known to be a Trump critic and he would fact check almost every financial  and economic statement or assumption his administration or his staff would make. He believe his role as a journalist was to sift the wheat from the chaff and bring the truth to his viewers.

    But he lost a lot of his viewers – especially those who favoured the Republicans – because of his Trump trashing, though he also gained some praise from others who liked his penchant for facts.

    Trump celebrated his departure by stating: on his Truth Social platform “GOOD NEWS FOR AMERICA! Neil Cavuto, the Lowest Rated Anchor on Fox, by far, is leaving – Should have happened a long time ago!”

    According to sources, Cavuto was offered a renewal contract with a lower compensation packet, indirectly asking him to leave. Others see in it a way of cost-cutting in a news industry buffeted by lower ad revenues.
    “‘Neil Cavuto’s illustrious career has been a master class in journalism and we’re extremely proud of his 28-year run with Fox News Media,’ the company said in a statement confirming the Cavuto’s departure. ‘His programs have defined business news and set the standard in the entire industry.’”

    Most journalists are awaiting what his next move will be.

    Rashmi Jha gets branded content sales head role at Arnab Goswami’s Republic TV

    MUMBAI: A large part of her career has been spent in the television news business though she has flirted with entertainment TV, and consumer goods for short periods. Now Rashmi Jha is headed back to TV news. She has joined Arnab Goswami’s ARG Outlier Media as head of branded content sales, presumably for Republic World, Bharat, Bangla, and Kannada.

    This is after almost four years of being employed with Associated Broadcasting (TV9) from 2020-2024 where she finally was designated as assistant general manager.

    She spent nearly two years working with Zee Entertainment Enterprises as a senior manager, innovation studio custom content, Zee Unimedia. Her exposure to consumer goods was with Green Ply Industries where she worked for two years and a bit more as brand manager.

    Rashmi took a stab at being employed at CNN-IBN but she spent only a year and some months there. Prior to that she had taken up a four-year spell with Zee News as marketing manager.

    The History graduate and PG diploma in advertising & PR landed her first job after her course studies at Maxesposure Media where she sold space for Ampersand magazine.

    “I am looking forward to driving impactful collaborations and delivering excellence. Here’s to growth, challenges, and creating something extraordinary!,” said Rashmi on Linkedin.

  • TV9 Bangla Ghorer Bioscope Awards celebrates 50 Years of DD Bangla & Feluda

    TV9 Bangla Ghorer Bioscope Awards celebrates 50 Years of DD Bangla & Feluda

    MUMBAI:  The recently concluded TV9 Bangla Ghorer Bioscope Awards has been a star-studded event that paid tribute to the two significant milestones in the Indian television and entertainment industry. The first element was observing the golden jubilee of Doordarshan (DD Bangla), whose invaluable contribution paved the way for the shaping of the broadcasting industry.  The event felicitated TV personalities who had immensely contributed to the development of the television industry since the Doordarshan days. 

    The second highlight of this event was celebrating the 50th anniversary of the beloved Bengali detective character Feluda, created by the legendary filmmaker Satyajit Ray. TV9 Bangla honoured all the actors to date who played the role of Feluda. 

    TV9 Bangla managing editor and business head Amritanshu Bhattacharya, asserted, “The first edition of TV9 Bangla Ghorer Bioscope Awards was a runaway success. On witnessing the overwhelming response, we have organised the second edition of the TV9 Bangla Ghorer Bioscope Awards this year in a grand way. With the wholehearted support of the Tollywood, television & OTT industry players, this event has grown in stature. Last year, we included TV & OTT that had earned immense popularity. Hence, this year, we have included Movie releases in OTT as well. I am confident that this event will further escalate & reach a greater height of success next year onwards.”  

    The glittering award evening was graced by mesmerizing live performances of renowned singers Aratrika of Sa Re Ga Ma Pa, Madhubanti Bagchi and Iman Chakraborty, whose soulful renditions resonated with the audience. The evening was a perfect mix of nostalgia, celebration, and recognition of talent across the media and entertainment industry of Bengal.
