I agree, the things you have to do, anyways. Why don't they just make YOU the editor? I know that some of THEM asked me, but now some of THEM are THEMSELVES looking for a job or jobs.<BR/><BR/>Happy Holi.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9917432.post-58804707679379550742008-03-18T16:17:00.000+05:302008-03-18T16:17:00.000+05:30As someone who has spent a reasonable time in the ...As someone who has spent a reasonable time in the media industry now, I think you will agree that news has morphed into something quite diffrent from it's dictionary meaning in India today. Ask any hindi news channel honcho, and the guy will tell you(if it isn;t obvious already) that they are actually in the entertainment business. If that isn't enough, we now have mailers such as this sent by agencies where they values the coverage they got with channel tie-ups, including news channels. And they even credit the channel as a partner. Surely, paid for news? http://afaqslinux.com/mailers/p9_cinema/2008/03/18/index.html<BR/><BR/>In fact like you yourself said, even trade sites and magazines, be it a Campaign India or e4m have clearly taken sides on lots of occassions, like the INX saga recently. And they surely reflect the status of the industry best.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
