From the reader's editor: A newspaper of record - The Hindu

My VIEW:

For
the record
This refers to the piece
“A newspaper of record” (From the Readers’ Editor, April 6) and the lead
article “A new public policy for a new India(April 6). The later, for me,
seemed a confirmation of the inferences contained in Panneerselvan’s column. I
started reading The Hindu during the late 1950’s and even during early sixties,
in the remote village in Malabar, I had access only to The Hindu Weekly Review
brought out by the newspaper mainly for the consumption of its readers abroad.
From my personal experience, I can easily endorse the Readers’ Editor’s view
that the newspaper all along   and now
The Hindu group including The Frontline remained ‘committed to providing
comprehensive coverage of current events to make sense of the prevailing
politics and current affairs’.
Articles like the one by
Shiv Vishwanathan which gives a critically analytical and proactive view on the
emergence of public and policy intellectuals and their exploitation by
stakeholders make The Hindu unique. The newspaper has never shied away from its
Dharma for fear of being controversial
or plainly speaking for fear of the ‘punishment’ it may get from the affected
who normally are the rich and the powerful.
