Similarly, around this time, there could be so called 'paid news', 'paid-rumour mongers' etc Again, there can be two types of 'paid news' one just to paint rosy pictures of one individual and the other not to report one individual or party or report about every one except one. If we open today's front page of H, we will see there is a 20cmsx7cols wide news item by Vishali Bharadwaj appeared in the middle of the front page titled 'A MAN OF VISION NEEDED FOR PROGRESS OF CORTALIM' with Mauvin Godhinho pic everything was pro-Mauvin indirectly criticising the present MLA Mathiny Saldanha. Again, Fr. Conceisao D' Silva was seen inaugurating Mavin's election office at Cansaulim on 21/5/07 (few days earlier at Cortalim) and even seen giving speech from the stage. It was also understood, that the said office was forced to close down on the very next day as it was illegal or unlicensed. But the news item in H mentioned every one names on the dais except Fr. Conceisao. Check this out..

(I mean Fr. Conceisao). Why no one taking any action against him? What church has to say about this? Where are the election observers in Goa? How to contact election observers in Goa? their contact Nos, Fax, email ids etc Quote: [Goanet] Election time in Goa... Frederick "FN" Noronha fredericknoronha at gmail.com Wed May 23 02:09:25 PDT 2007 It's election time in Goa. It seems to me that this time, with the spurt in the number of new cable-news operations, and newspapers, various sections of the media are willing to take a much more blatantly partisan stand towards various politicians and parties. What do the others feel? One could perceive Goa Doot's clear pro-BJP slant; the Goa Observer's anti-Churchill, anti-BJP (and pro-Congress colours), Herald's pro-Churchill, mildly pro-Congress line; Goa 365 (and particularly Julio Da Silva's) pro-BJP, pro-Churchill and anti-Congress tirades; and some other cable TV's operators (Waman Prabhu's for instance) BJP-supportive and strongly Parrikar-backing tendency. >From what I could recall, in no election so far has the media been so partisan. If this is the case, what are the factors involved? Just the increase in competitive pressures? Attempts at re-shaping the media within Goa? Would the others agree?
