The feeds can never replace the traditional newspaper. I amke it  point to glance through the newspaper every day. I read 'The Hindu' and I am a big fan of it.

We here consider Hindu for leftists,loaded with news frm down south and Indian express as hardcore politics.I thus read IE :)

I never feel that the paper is for leftists. To be more truthful I just skip most of the news related to politics.

U dnt feel it probably coz u read it everyday

I did not get your point. Do you wish to say that only the first time readers feel that the paper is for the leftists?

HT and DNA. what interests me is that both have very differnet headlines, in terms of the importance they  give to particular news. Even though both being comparatively new in the Mumbai market, they are catching up pretty fast. TOI is going to die a slow death, given the content and the price too! I love reading both HT and DNA.

Wts up wid TOI? Its gona lose it? I find HT too thin to serve my needs.I can read it in an hour flat.DNA as the name goes is good fr analysis.

for me too, ht and dna score much above toi any day. I was reading toi before dna and ht came in but i really was getting bugged with toi self promoting its sister concerns all over toi.
Dna won me over with their very second issue when they announced the list of actors n politicians who called their office up to cover their visit to flood affected areas way back in july 2005. dna has kept changing over the year with their editorial making way for public opine and articles.

Ht is a mix of entertainment and serious politics. I miss a local edition of the hindu for subscription. the hindu was always recommended for those who were polishing their English.

Not much interested nowadays, I try to find the editors, owners their political connection, then it's easy to guess what colour they will give to any news. Still try to read something but can't not much.
