Content Contribution, Moderation & Approval Policy

Content is contributed by authorized contributors in a consistent fashion to maintain uniformity and to bring in standardization. In order to present the content as per the requirement of the viewer, and to retrieve the relevant content efficiently, it is contributed through a Content Management System which is web-based.

Once the content is contributed it is approved and moderated prior to being published on the website. The moderation is two levels and is role based. If the content is rejected at any level then it is reverted back to the originator of the content for modification.

Content Review Policy

SRFTI Website is the face of Satyajit Ray Film & Television Institute. It is therefore required to keep the content on the Website current and up-to-date and hence there is a need for the Content Review Policy. Since the scope of the content is huge, different Review Policies are defined for the diverse content elements. The Review Policy is based on different types of content elements, its validity and relevance as well as the archival policy.

Each of the content components is accompanied by meta data, source and validity date. For some of the components the validity date may not be known i.e., the content is stated to be perpetual. Under this scenario, the validity date should be ten years hence. Under no circumstances, any content is to be displayed on the Website after the validity date.

For few of the components like announcements, tenders, only the live content whose validity date is after the current date is shown on the Website. For other components like documents, schemes, services, forms, websites and contact directory there is a need for timely review of the same as per the Content Review Policy.

List of content contributed is sent to the content contributor two weeks prior to the validity date to revalidate the content and if required modify the validity date. In case of no response, then a reminder is sent a week before the validity date and therefore the content is archived and no longer published on the Website.

For the retrieval of content which has expired, there is a need to archive the content. Government Websites, Forms, Services and Contact Directory which are discontinued should be expunged.
