Kingshuk Nag on paid news, responsible journalism, and changing times at TOI in this leaked mail to his colleagues. The only constant in life is change. Times change and so do realities, but values that we imbibe remain. We are all aware that a paper that we sell to our readers for Rs 3 costs us upwards of Rs 20 to produce. The difference is paid by the advertiser. Considering this, I can affirm and proudly so that the advertiser has almost no say in the content of our paper. This is something that is amazing and unbelievable, but so it is. Also, over my long years in TOI *- I am now in my 22nd year -I have not been subject to any owner/ senior management pressure on what can be carried in the paper. I have worked in four different centres of TOI: New Delhi, Bangalore, Ahmedabad and Hyderabad. In some of my job profiles I have faced external intimidation but no internal company pressures. For over 14 of these 21 plus years I have been the editor of an independent edition.
leaked e-mail to his collegues. We can see journalists in a new light..Quite insightful.
