Re: [Goanet] What is this Goa English Media ?
Lampiao, tubelight pettoi ! You ought to have sent this to Goajourno (goajou...@googlegroups.com) 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.
