Lampiao, tubelight pettoi !
You ought to have sent this to Goajourno ([email protected])
after getting yourself admitted as a member.
More seriously, journalists and editors in Goa's English-language daily, at
least currently, are doing good work, highlighting local issues. I saw reports
of the ANC constable's roughing up -- Herald even front paged it.

Subject: Re: [Goanet] What is this "Goa English Media" ?
Not really surprising. Pick up an Ingleas newspaper and one wonders if
its the Government gazette or a newspaper (part of the democratic
process).
They are run by first-grade rascals or complete idi^ts, who have never
understood what a newspaper does, its role in society etc. The
language press on the other hand does have the old school thinking, of
committed journalists. So thanks for bringing this up.
Now the Goa pulice is another story. I recently went to report a
break-in. Inspector She*kh (now transfered to Ponji) told me if I find
the thief, take his picture (I told the cop who I suspected). What? I
find the thief? Never mind.
Another cop at the station quietly told me the Goa pulice are in a
mess right now.....he said things are "sooo out of control".
So not surprising then to the story from the Marathi paper...Calangute
is a high stakes police station.
BTW, did you know Calangute-Candolim-Baga belt does more business then
the rest of Goa in terms of turn over...example the banks there do
such large transactions, only senior experienced employees get posted
there (I am told).
========================================================
It is surprising to note that Head lines of all the Marathi Papers in
Goa today 'May 26/05/2010" was
regarding Shamrock Restaurant incident where in waiter from the
restaurant hitting Constable Sawant from
behind.
But no English paper has carried this story.
