ABSTRACT

Today the world totally relay upon the electronic media to its every day adventure.

People have no time to be updated through newspaper or watching or listening the news

in the television or radios. People today need to be updated on daily basis in this

competitive world. Most of the people get the information about the world around

through the internet which is fast, accessible, and reliable. The WWW (World Wide

Web) is huge, widely distributed, global information service centre for Information

services: news, advertisements, consumer information, financial management, education,

government, e-commerce etc, hyper-link information, access and usage information.

To be able to get everything well managed and updated every second under one roof is a

real challenge. A real expert system is needed with much simpler and less sophisticated

manner.

“24 Hours News Portal” is a service introduced to meet the above requirement and to

make the people updated about the news ,views ,reviews, breaking news and latest

headlines in different fields also the new inventions around the world. This news portal is

targeted towards the growing news agencies and the other organizations which are related

to the field of media.

1. INTRODUCTION

“24 hours News Portal” is a complete software for publishers who wants to drive an

online newspaper. All content stored in database and divided into categories.

Categories can be easily modified to browse and contains a self-organized interface to

promote top-stories. Software can be managed with a role-based system similar like a

real newspaper. Page editors, managers and assistance etc, Focus of role-based

system to drive applications in secure mode. Content schedule feature helps you to

publish articles and news at earlier time. Media News Portal create all articles and

publish them within search engine friendly URL. Automatic syndication system

imports content from other content sites.

Thus makes our news portal rich in content.

2. OBJECTIVE

The main objectives of project are

A role based system and can be managed like a real news paper.

To maintain a standard and structured website.

To make a website that is updated 24 hours.

To enhance the quality of news to the users.

To give information about the different firm and companies of the country which are

registered using our directory.

To make a search engine for the directory and articles.

To allow users to make comments about the news topics.

To make a voting poll on the present issues.

3. LITERATURE REVIEW

In the last few years, with the growth of World Wide Web, most of the companies,

institute, organisation etc launch their websites for their specific purposes, to achieve

their gaols, flow information etc. So there are millions of websites hosting on their own

way. But the company handle this job to the web developers or programmers. Some

website needs a daily update in its content such as daily news, the changes in prices,

advertisement of new products etc. So for a little change in website, company should go

to the programmer, which is tedious job.

4. SYSTEM ANALYSIS

4.1 Understanding the Problem

This step is the initiation of the project where the concept was developed along

with the identification of the problem. The problem is analyzed thoroughly before

proceeding so that no design flaws are later encountered.

4.2 Feasibility Analysis

Feasibility study is carried out on the following criteria. It includes four parts

which are given below:

a) Technical Feasibility

b) Operational Feasibility

c) Economic Feasibility

d) Schedule Feasibility

a) Technical Feasibility

Due to the avaiblity of different tools and knowledge about the tools make the

Project technically feasible. Technical knowledge about different tools helps to develop

the project quickly. There are different programming tools and editor available for

creating the web application and techniques for web mining. Technical guidance is also

necessary for completion of project.

b) Operational Feasibility

The operational feasibility of this project can be defined as that the project is

feasible from the point of operation because for the purpose of its implementation

employee having general knowledge of the computer or internet can handle. Since the

implementation is very easy. Thus it is operationally feasible.

c) Economic Feasibility

The proposed system does not cost high because it is just a service with simple

software added to the existing system.

d) Schedule Feasibility

It seems initially that the project needs longer study period but later on the project

development goes rapidly as per the schedule. Thus the assigned period of time in

developing is sufficient to produce the desired result.

5. METHODOLOGY

For our project, we first create a database for storing the informations that is to be

updated. We will create a section for the admin who manipulates all the content and who

has the authority relating the web site.

We use PHP for programming, MySQL for backend database. And we also use

Photoshop, flash, Dreamweaver as an editor.

6. DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED SYSTEM

Our system provides the following features:

6.1 Polling

The viewer can cast their votes on the latest news scenario which will be published in the

website on regular basis and the results will be published at the end of the month

collectively. This helps to know the views of the people to some extent.

6.2 Search engine

The user can easily search to the related articles using the search mechanism in the news

portal. Also the user can get information about the firm, companies and organizations

easily using the search engine.

6.3 Directory

In the directory will keep the information of the client firms and organization who have

already registered with us. And user can also easily browse and know the information

about the desired companies using the search engine.

6.4 Comments

The viewers can also comment the news and articles published in the web site.

6.5 News and reviews

The latest news and reviews will be published in the website. Updates are made on the

regular basis.

7. EVALUATION

Project evaluation is done by performing following tests:

7.1. White Box TestingThe purpose of the white box testing is to check whether the program is working

according the program structure development or not. The white box testing include the

process of providing some known and desired data to the program and to check whether

the programs functions according to the logic or not, also known as the Glass-box testing.

The white box testing of the software that was developed was also successful. All the

logical conditions and the queries that were used for the database programming were

tested and they were found to be correct so there was no errors the errors that were

discovered were dealt with during the time of the programming stage thus removing any

logical and structural errors.

7.2. Black Box TestingThis testing is generally performed by a group of people who are not

concerned with the software development. It is test where the data that have known

output results is used. The testing performed by others personal showed that the program

worked and the desired result was obtained. This testing provides the errors associated

with the user requirements

8. CONCLUSION

Now we can make a system which can enhance the features of a news portal

which can be viewed by any person having a little knowledge about the computer and

keep themselves updated regarding the news. Here we have created back end which can

be accessed only by the authorized person and will have the right to manipulate the news

and other tasks regarding the web site.
