what is the meaning of VOVT , a word used in news gathering companies like NDTV,CNN-IBN?

Answer 1

These are all acronym they usually have more then one meanings. As a rule one must give full spell out with acronym in the bracket first, then only it should be used.

eg.

Voice operation or officially Verified Transmission(VOVT), confirm by voice only no fax no other confirmation requested,(what type of authentication they have)
,
Victoria Terminus(VT), Verified Transmission.(VT)?Voice transmitted(VT) no written filing of report, by the news caster (he/she may write a book on it later,,just kidding).
Central Railways(CR),minootoo.(mt)
Continental News Network (CNN) only sure about news, network may be net. and Continental may be central. IBN is it International branch, so International Broadcasting Net or Network.
For Net wide Distribution on Tel Vision.(NDTV)close enough
