Frontline

The recent innovation in the focus and content introduced by Frontline is most welcome. When some of the “older” periodicals are trying to fall in line with the market trend and changing the format and content to attract the upper class rich and the busy young, it is comforting to see a magazine devoting several pages to seriously discuss issues like the euthanasia being given to institutions like Planning Commission, conscious destruction of India’s public sector by an elite private sector by dubious means and the irreparable damage being done to social sector in the name of labour reforms.

When mainstream magazines do not devote more than two or three pages to make a passing mention of developments like this, the articles in Frontline can easily be presented as background papers in groups discussing current policy issues.

Extensive book reviews and features like the two-part series on photography covering ‘Drawn from Light’ exhibition of photographs from last couple of centuries with a befitting narrative by Ajoy Ashirwad Mahaprashasta make each issue a “collector’s item”.

I think, only The Hindu group is giving the discerning Indian reader such luxury at an affordable price.
