A Case of Cut and Paste

Sorry for this Times bashing again, but can't help it. Here is another fresh one from Times of India Mumbai edition..

See how they have carelessly put one paragraph in between the story. I remember a cartoon on our old Kerala University Journalism department's wall, depicting an old newspaper office saying... "Who reads the second para anyway?" I think TOI is taking it far too seriously.

A Case of Withheld Identity...

Here is another one from The Times of India online. TOI guys are experts in doing this it seems. Acting as the true representatives of the fourth estate, they withhold names of victims and culprits in all cases, but leave clues in the story that does not require a detective's senses to sniff out. Even I am caught between the ethics of putting this 'revealing' goof-up up for the public, but this is a classic case of it...

Please see the red underlined words. The paper, published on 15th of March, 2012, clearly says that the names are withheld (to protect identities). But they have mentioned that the person is the Principal of St Elias High School in Khar (west). They further go on to suggest that the principal is a lady. 

TOI rocks...
