Call it coincidence. Call it irony. Just a day after I published a post about the late Arthur Ochs Sulzberger of The New York Times ("A newspaper publisher like no other"), I learn from Outlook editor Krishna Prasad's blog that another venerable American publication, The New Yorker, has devoted a nine-page article to The Times of India and its owners, Samir and Vineet Jain.
Read Krishna Prasad's post here: "Samir Jain, Vineet Jain and TOI in The New Yorker".
And you can read the New Yorker article here: "Citizens Jain".
- Also read: "Paid news and the influence of newspaper owners".
- Additional reading: An insight into the ingredients of great writing from The New Yorker.
- EXTERNAL READING: On April 27, 2013, Mint, too, provided evidence of the appeal newspapers have for Indians:
Take a look at Mint's photo essay here: "Newspaper Nation".
- UPDATE (May 7, 2013): The New Yorker has just published a letter by the executive editor of The Times of India regarding the "Citizens Jain" article. Read the letter here.
for someone who started demanding money to publish... forever changing the media scene in the country... they are truly iconic considering everyone is following them now!
