Hi,
Thanks to all those guys who wrote back in support and appreciation of the
story *GOA'S PAID PIPER* -- Paid political interview in Goa's Herald
newspaper for Rs 86,400' .
Thanks specifically to my senior colleagues in the media like P Sainath who
promised to take up this paid news case on the national forum and to noted
media critic Pradyuman Maheshwari for running it on his newly launched media
portal and to Outlook editor Krishna Prasad for featuring it on hisblog (a
url I have frequented in earnest often over the years).
Incidentally, only Goa related web portals like Goanet, Target Goa Niz
Goenkar and GoaChronicle ran the story; a fact that I really appreciate,
considering the fact that no print newspaper has done so. Perhaps… I should
have paid for publishing this story … Joking of course…
Nevertheless… Herald editor Sujay Gupta has issued a written statement on
the subject to www.mxmindia.com which I am taking the liberty of
reproducing here. Please find my response to it below.
