Dear Friends
Can we read our newspapers in the internet comfortably? Say, the Assam
Tribune?
I read it, rather skip it. It is simply not legible. Or readable.
What about the Eastern Chronicle? More or less the same, I find
The Assamese language newspapers, say the Pratidin, it is not easy to
read either.
Actually a few of the Assamese newspapers are internet dead, if not a
patient still.
When the Seven Sisters Post was launched, I welcomed it as the best
daily of the North-East. The formats at the beginning were comfortable
but now it is horrible. I sent an email to the learned editor, I tell
you: he is a good journalist but it is no good if I cannot read his
despatches (Unlike his fellows, he is a roving one, it appears).
For example, today (17 12 2011) I for the first time heard the name of
Luithui Luingam, a Naga political activist. Subir informs us that
Luithui is to get a new passport after ten years. I used to take
interest in affairs Nagalim. So, naturally I was interested in the
news. With great difficulty, I had to discover his name, correctly
spelt that is, to unearth more information about him in Google. No, he
has not become famous. I need not have bothered.
I am just contemplating how to organise an Occupy protest against the
media Mughals.
