Stephen's heading for the post is confusing. He has targeted a paper that calls itslef "Voice of the people." Can't believe that he himself is afraid to name the paper, though one can surmise which one it is. Stephen himself has been a regular contributor to the Opinion Pages, mostly in the column, People's Edit, or has written many letter in the Letters to the Editor section.
Why are the editors in turmoil? The fight between rival newspapers is common not only in India but throughout the world. Just recently the Times of India and Hindustan Times were trumpeting that they are No. ! in Delhi, with the readership survey coming out. Maybe experience Goa-based journalists such as Fred can tell us what "turmoil" the editors are in. One can criticize their work by exposing certain faults but a sweeping statement such as the one headline by Stephen over his post should be sustained by examples or context. I remember Dr. Joe D'Souza's article was refused by the paper and the writer used it in Gomantak Times. I want to request Stephen to send me backchannel the article as I wish to read it again. I thought that the writer allegedly made some remarks against the paper or the editor, but I want to be sure what I read and understood is correct. Eugene Correia
