He's lucky and he can't be "accused" of being so!<BR/><BR/>BW still is a great place to work despite all that has happened. Better than BT. What about BI? Well, that's also a cool place, but for some crooks.<BR/><BR/>Yatish Rajawat is joining BW-Delhi from ET. Another Bombay guy, Raghu Mohan, is in Delhi these days. Wonder what's he doing here. Maybe collecting dope to restart Mediamamu. He though vehemently denies he is the chap who ran Mediamamu. Something tells me, it is him, maverick that he is.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9917432.post-45989326061784637662007-03-12T15:39:00.000+05:302007-03-12T15:39:00.000+05:30rohit vishwanath certainly does not qualify as one...rohit vishwanath certainly does not qualify as one of the hottest young journalists bw has produced. the story he won the cnn award for was not his idea in the first place, it wasn't even structured by him and worse, he didn't write it, his senior did. that he is headed for the toi edit pages is a good thing. its one of the least read edit pages in the country and there isn't much to do there. maybe he could write the spiritual life column.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9917432.post-29019631345925876692007-03-08T13:01:00.000+05:302007-03-08T13:01:00.000+05:30man you really write crap. i suggest you concentra...man you really write crap. i suggest you concentrate on your job & forget others.

Tony was a good captain but not too focussed about the job at BW. As for #3, he should better sit in some sarkari office and repeat his mantra of seniority and the privileges (sic) that come with it. (Hope he realizes seniority is an ass :P) I am only sad for Pro - shifting him up was bad - but the new freedom will help him show what he can really do.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9917432.post-62696752113720481422007-03-04T00:54:00.000+05:302007-03-04T00:54:00.000+05:30I have a question.

You can bet Aveek's silk undies, there will be more. <BR/>I dont work at BW but i have some very reliable sources and here's what they say the editor wants to do: to raise the standard of indian journalism.<BR/>According to my moles, pocha thinks Indian journos are no good, the stories done are ordinary, and there is absolutely no research. <BR/><BR/>So, he's going to train all the guys/women at BW to write better stories and make the magazine as good as international stuff. <BR/><BR/>For god's sake, what is he talking about. I've seen stories in businessweek and many other mags that suck. and at the same time, ive seen some fairly decent stories done by indian journos.<BR/>so, we've got good and bad journos everywhere. and indian journalism in particular is handicapped by the system. We are lucky if we get proper training, we hardluy ever have the rresources nor is there time to actually foucs and do a grand story like some of the better mags abroad do, and they spend a lot of time douing their stoires. <BR/><BR/>so pocha, i dont know whether u are wrong when u say that indian journos are mediocre but u are definitely not right.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
