Hi...
Here's a few updates in the Goa's 'paid news story'.
Barring two newspaper Gomantak Times, Lokmat and the (brace yourself) Sanatan Prabhat, no other news paper in Goa published the press note issued by the Goa Union of Journalists which has also demanded a probe by the Press Council of India, into the 'paid news' story featuring the Herald newspaper. (The Navhind Times carried part of the statement; apols for missing it out earlier -- Mayabhushan) .
Basically, the story was largely blacked out by the media here.
Two media websites the Hoot and mediahive and a national newspaper mentioned the Goa 'paid news'story in its editorial piece.So did Rajan Narayan's Goan Observer.
Please find links to the stories here.
Action demanded in Goa paid news case -- The Hoot
Paid political interview in Goa's newspaper for Rs 84,000 -- Mediahive
SLIPPERY SLOPE -- Difficult times for mass media -- Statesman
As mentioned earlier, today (Monday Oct 31, 2011) I have filed a complaint with the Election Commission of India (ECI) vis a vis the same story. I have send across a copy to the ECI, Nirvachan bhavan, New Delhi by email as well as by hard copy.
Thanks for listening in...
