Sanjeev, how long have you been in FEC? Still you don't know the meaning of
Fourth Estate. Fourth Estate means Malayala Manorama. Have you not read
those "stylan" critiques of Manorama like for example, how Manorama should
apply "restraint" while reporting etc. etc... Of course some of the
criticism is also shared for Mathrubhumi. And Sanjeev, mind you: don't ever
think of responding like this. The "cultural intelligence" may issue verdict
for your life -long agenda of CPM bashing. How easy are things!!
Now what we infer is that that Hindu has unpaid staff. very profitable. Good
methods to become lean in these times of global recession.
The Hindu readership will also grow lean. I guess the readership is not
constituted by CPM cadres. It is inclusive of liberals, orthodox,
post-moderns etc etc..
The truthful way is to hyper link desabhmani to Hindu. or as in print Hindu,
they provide syndicated reports/features from Guardian and NY times. Why not
syndicate Desabhmani?
At least desabhimani is truthful. They are very clear on what they say.
{In Journalism school, great editors, great media professionals gave us
sermons on "core & cardinal virtues of Journalism" I believe it is still
being preached in journalism classes}
