IN BLACK AND WHITE: Journalists, they say, write the first draft of history. But who writes about journalists? And about the media...? In the year 2003, a number of journalists from Goa (some based here, some elsewhere) felt strongly enough to put together a book of writing about some of the issues they face in their daily life. Their narration records stories from a number of newspapers that have influenced readers from the 1960s onwards.
