Prabhat Khabar, despite the absence of huge funds, became a very big newspaper in Jharkhand. The statistics of the National Readership Survey reveal that, despite the conspiracy of the concerned newspaper, the number of readers of Prabhat Khabar actually doubled over the last four years. In February 2003, another big Hindi daily (claiming to be the no. 1 paper), Dainik Jagran , launched three editions in Jharkhand, in Ranchi, Jamshedpur, and Dhanbad. Despite its aggressive marketing and publicity tactics, it has hardly had any impact in this region. As part of a new experiment in Hindi journalism, we started new columns to publicize the local affairs of the region. In 1992-93 our newspaper published several investigative reports on the cattle-fodder scam. In 1996, the rest of the country came to know of this scam. Prabhat Khabar had a leading role in exposing this scam. Later on various big and famous newspapers of the country gave the credit to Prabhat Khabar for being the first to expose the scam. In 1997 a BBC team arrived from London and made a film on the issue, and also acknowledged the role of Prabhat Khabar in this regard. But what was the cost of exposing the scam? Criminals (who were protected by the then state government of Bihar) entered our office and threatened us. At every step, they were harassed by the police and other administrative officers. After so many years of hard work, the group was able to establish a very good position and market share fo rPrabhat Khabar. The total no. of pages in each Edition of Prabhat Khabar arised from minimum-16 to maximum-28 including the Supplements. It carries wide range news from Local to National to International, Entertainment to Sports, Business and Corporate news etc. It has special sections of National news, City news, crime/court (Crime report), Editorial, knowledge, Classified, Local, other State s news, Corporate, National-International, Sports, Entertainment etc.

11 | P a g e
They are the ultimate customers for which newspaper is printed. They make various uses of newspaper starting from simply getting news of the world around to finding good jobs for themselves. Prabhat Khabar has successfully fulfilled each and every demand of the common public which makes Prabhat Khabar the best media in relation to others at Ranchi.
Product Positioning:
In product positioning Scheduling department and Editorial Departments works efficiently enough for the common people. Editorial Department tries to cover all most every important happening in the world. Scheduling Department works very carefully and efficiently for scheduling of the news around the world and advertisements of the clients. Every Product is produced and presented by keeping into mind the prospected customers. A product or service is positioned on the basis of an attitude or benefit, use or application, user, class, price, or level of quality. It targets a product for specific market segments and product needs at specific prices. The same product can be positioned in many different ways.
Editorial Department plays very important role in the product positioning of Prabhat Khabar, as basically newspaper is purchased for getting the news of world around you so reporters of Prabhat Khabar works very hard for collecting news all around the globe for the satisfaction of the common people.
Buying Pattern:
Buying pattern is simple and almost common of all the Print media. It starts from production house; it produces Newspaper and passes paper to the circulation department. It circulates paper to the various agencies of different districts of Ranchi. Then from agency it passes on to the hawkers and movers who distribute 180000 newspapers on daily basis.
In actual terms there is very less competition for Ranchi Prabhat Khabar, but Some Print Media like Hindustan, Dainik Jagran, Bhaskar are rapidly growing to give competition to Prabhat Khabar.
Good Performance by the Employees and initiatives by the Company: Every Employee is directed towards the common goal. They are efficient and effective enough to achieve their target very well on time.
A very strong and positive point of Prabhat Khabar is its circulation. There is circulation of 180,000 newspapers only in Ranchi, 450,000 in the state of Jharkhand with 4 Editions inside Jharkhand i.e. Ranchi, Deoghar, Jamshedpur, Dhanbad. There is circulation of 250,000 daily Newspaper in Bihar with 3 Editions running inside Bihar and circulation of 125,000 daily Newspaper in Bengal with 2 Editions running.
Weakness:
13 | P a g e
As every company have their own strong points and weak points. Prabhat Khabar also suffers from some of its internal weaknesses such as: Advertisement Missing: After very careful working also sometimes some ads get miss printed or sometimes due to mistakes it does not get printed which has become a cause of backward for Prabhat Khabar. High rate of Advertisement: Since circulation of prabhat Khabar is very high so production cost also goes very high since they have to run company also company cannot think of clients benefit only and by force they have to increase the price of advertisement. So small clients cannot and do not prefer Prabhat Khabar for advertisement purpose since it costs higher than other newspaper agency. Circulation: Although Prabhat Khabar has a very big circulation area but sometimes this big circulation area becomes problem for the company as well. Sometime paper does not reaches far places in time due to many problems and becomes problem for the company.
Opportunities:
There are various opportunities for Prabhat Khabar to increase the sale of newspaper especially in the field of Advertisement and Circulation
Advertisement:
In the field of advertisement there are various companies and Institutions which do not prefer Pabhat Khabar for Advertisement due many problems like price of advertisement and other problems. Marketing executives of Prabhat Khabar Company is visiting these companies for attracting them to Prabhat Khabar.
Circulation:
Although the circulation of prabhat khabar is very high but still there are many faraway places where Prabhat Khabar did not reach till the time so there is a scope for reaching these places and generate revenue for the company.
Threats:
14 | P a g e
Company suffers from few threats which are like quality manpower, rising of other Media House.
Quality manpower:
Although the manpower of prabhat khabar is one of the best in the corporate world but there is always a search for the better persons since the world is of competition. There is a threat that other company may gather better persons so there is a need to update the workers of the company.
Since this world is of competition so every company tries their best to come to the competition for the survival of their company. Every Company have their strong and loose points so every company tries to hold their strong point and catch the loose points of the compititing companies to break down that company. Prabhat Khabar is also suffering this problem since it is also surviving in the competition world and other companies like Hindustan, Dainik Jagran, Bhaskar etc. are growing rapidly in the competition creating threat for Prabhat Khabar.
