Opinion Articles

Ø Ranjona Banerji: Long way to go for ToI's Doon edition
Dehradun, the capital of Uttarakhand, where I now live, has been privileged to receive a Times of India edition all of its own – or so we were informed in a series of advertisements and announcements in the paper and in the local compact daily, Garwhal Post. But in the week or so since this has happened, what has The Times of India told us about the city in which we live? There is no edition office in Dehradun and the resident editor sits in Delhi. The edition carries no imprint line at all (or I should amend that to any more) so the reader – even one inspired to decipher 2 point print – does not know who owns, prints or edits the paper. The newspaper is not printed in Dehradun either. I understand from sources within the paper that the resident editor is Anand Soondas.
