This blog is primarily for media aspirants as well as young journalists. My aim is to provide links to articles that will enhance their understanding of the media and help them to improve their writing skills, broaden their horizons, and expand their worldview. My hope is that The Reading Room will also help them to become good media professionals.

For the best news analysis; for the best Edit and Op-Ed Pages; for
the best sports coverage; and, of course, for the best reading on
Sundays (National Standard is the only daily in Bangalore that comes
with a full-fledged free magazine on Sundays).
Thank you,
Shekhar Gupta, editor in chief of The Indian Express Group, for
launching National Standard in Bangalore on August 15 and making newspaper reading a pleasurable activity again.
“The new paper will be a quality paper for
quality young audience, and Bangalore is that kind of a market, evident
from our online market. Our largest base for online readers is in
Bangalore.”

I have more than 20 years' experience (1981 to 2003) as a journalist in India and Dubai, specializing in selecting and editing news reports and features. From 2003 to 2019, I taught journalism and writing skills to master’s students at Commits, a media college in Bangalore.
I joined Cactus Communications ("Serving Science Worldwide") as a copyediting freelancer on October 1, 2019. From the very beginning, I have enjoyed the challenge of working on a new assignment each day. I like to think of every article as a daily crossword puzzle that I need to solve by examining the clues closely. And, finally, when I submit the article that I have tended, I like to think, with love and care, I feel deeply satisfied.
