Newspaper does not segregate ‘good’ or ‘bad’ news but presents news of public interest, says Editor
The virtual Open House, an interactive session with the readers hosted by The Hindu on Saturday, served as a platform for readers from different regions to exchange their views on news coverage and impact of digital media. Moderated by Readers’ Editor A.S. Panneerselvan, the meeting had many participants who gave their suggestions about news coverage and the areas that could be improved. Alan Herbert, one of the readers, felt the newspaper must balance between positive and negative news. He noted that the sports pages had more “positive” news. Responding, Editor of The Hindu Suresh Nambath said the newspaper does not segregate news as “good and bad news”. But it presents news that is in the public interest.More Related News
