Hindustan Times?s obsession with Aishwayra-Abhishek wedding

Abhishek Aishwarya wedding-2
2007-04-21 15:33:00 I have high regards for Hindustan Times. As a matter of fact its the only newspaper I love to read. Hindu is good in terms to editorials but I call it a boring newspaper because of so much to read in. Plus the design of the paper needs a serious rethinking. Times of India is more of gossip and only gossip! Perhaps its the soft Playboy of India. HT is more balanced in terms of content and entertainment. (It even offers free epaper subscription). But I would like to point out an ironic situation. Barkha Dutt in an editorial, in HT, has highlighted the depreciating state of affairs in news reporting. It’s more about what we regard as newsworthy. Sure, when two of India’s biggest stars get married, it’s a perfectly legitimate entertainment story. But does it deserve saturation coverage? Does it require reporters to stand by the wayside for hours on end, with real time updates on who is wearing what? Do we really need to spend reams of newsprint and hours of airtime on w...
