INTERPRETATION OF FINDINGS
I received total 50 suggestions out of total sample size of 170 . This was further thoroughly
read and evaluated in order to get a feeling for the data. Then it was categorized as per the
different theme comments into categories such as “Content”, “News delivery”, etc. At least
one category was provided to each response by the help of “coding”.
“In providing feedback on the Odiya news channels, some 55% of the respondents spoke
about content. The main issues raised included improvising the news intensity and range.
38% of the suggestions demonstrated high dissatisfaction with the news delivery technique
and methods currently followed. Around 22% complained about the lack of genuineness and
legitimacy in the news. To a lesser extent (7%), disturbance due to the longer duration of the
TV commercial breaks was mentioned. The following comments from a respondent
illustrate these points.
