Though having more reporters in the village (even if they're your next door neighbours) is no guarantee of getting publicity to issues that deserve it, I have long believed in the need for encouraging more young people to taking to writing and joining the media.
There are simply too many issues to do justice here. Although we've had one or two or three reporters in the past in Saligao (Nicholas' dad, Mr "Tipri" Ormello D'Souza; Norman Dantes, Francis Ribeiro, among others), we have never had enough. Now there are more young people joining the field, but there is still a need for more. Of course this is not meant to divert attention from the point that Albert raised; I just feel that the issue is deeper.
