My point is that divide-and-rule works. In the media too.
Probably more so in the media, when there's a fat, juicy (often undeserved) advertising carrot at the end of the policy.
It's a sad day that we accept as normal the fact that views and perceptives can be turned off and on with advertising. FN

Dear Fred,
I am not justifying the advertising policies of the governments, past and present.I am just stating a fact: like it or lump it.
The day all the newspaper managements, the Editors Guild and the GUJ members will see this from one perspective has not yet dawned. It is unlikely to happen in the foreseeable future.
Percept is one thing; practice is an entirely different ball game. I will be only too happy if the Navhind Times, the oHeraldo, Tarun Bharat or even the Dainik Gomantak write editorials criticising this unstated policy....or would they refuse to publish Goa Government advertisements and reports for the duration of IFFI? That will not happen. So what is your point?
