In another case, a recent news item in expressindia.com ( http://www.expressindia.com/latest-news/Assam-businessman-murdered-in-S-Delhi-cops-on-motivehunt/270906/) on the murder of Pranab Saikia, an Assamese businessman in Delhi, misreported the name of the murdered man as Pranav Sekiya. What is more appaling than the journalistic standard of the reporter who did not even bother to verify the names of the people he was reporting about, is the rampant ignorance in "national" or "mainstream" media regarding the people and places of the Northeast. And this ignorance is commensurate only with the indifference. Slogans of "national integration" should not be shouted when such attitudes are at play. ____________________________________________________________________________________ Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Yahoo!
