New Delhi-based Journalists those days belonged to two distinct classes …

has this distinction blurred in the current times?

or do we have more of the first kind?

but it was great to see and hear Mrs. Gandhi on the TV…

she was a decisive leader and maybe if fate had allowed her to stay longer, India would have had a mellowed and seasoned leader who would have taken India to better heights…

I reckon the credit for bringing down media's Berlin wall, between the editorial and response (ad.) departments must go to TOI. Its resident editors are editorial heads of 'regional markets'.

I used to get furious when whole features were disturbed to accommodate last minute ads in our neighbourhood newspaper, but being free, we needed the revenue. But it irked me that we had to redo the page. Truth is , no ads no revenue - the Hindu shamelessly cut its price by a Rupee on its Chennai edition when TOI hit the stands in Chennai. Most people skip ads anyway Apt quote from Naren.
