normally_crazy · 27th September 2005, 12:32

There have 2 high profile newspaperr launches in Mumbai in the past few months ...whats your preferred choice ?

manaa45 · 27th September 2005, 13:56

we start our day with times of india. i also subsrcibed to DNA but it did not match the hype it created prior to its launch.

i havent cancelled its subscription but am thinking of doing so.

i also cant do without mid-day which i read as soon as i reach office.

i think times is the best.

Times Of India and The Hindu. TOI only for the comic strips that come in it (Calvin and Hobbes, to be more specific) Otherwise, both TOI and Express make a mockery of the language. It seems the proof readers at these papers are on permanent vacation. Hindu's english, though not perfect, is better than these two. Plus, the Hindu crossword is awesome. Some people might argue that its the news that matters and everything else is secondary. But somehow reading bad english in a newspaper spoils it for me.

Since i dont consider TOI much of a newspaper, i have voted for Others.

Cheers

Times of India - Calvin & Hobbes to start of with. Get the news from The Hindu. The best daily out here IMHO. TOI is more like a comic book. I prefer the professionalism and qulaity of articles in the Hindu.

My morning starts with Economic times. Bored of reading about ploitics and Page 3 crowd.

Abhay · 27th September 2005, 14:46

I have 2 newspapers...Times of India and Sakal (Marathi daily)
so the poll needs to be multiple choice :-)

Well I dont buy these 2 coz they are the best but choices arent that great either.....Ind Express bord me (used to have that when I was in college) and although ToI has idiotic articles and play on words (catchy headlines) all the time., there isnt other options.

my morning s start with times of india which i am reading since years now . bombay times really rocks and now you also get a complimentary copy of mumbai mirror .

Steeroid · 27th September 2005, 19:31

When I saw the title "how dyou start your mornings" I was wondering if you really wanted the graphic details...thankfully the topic is a bit different, though if you read TOI the stink is similar.

Aditya · 27th September 2005, 22:32

First thing in the morning.... www.team-bhp.com
Then Times of India.

Haque · 27th September 2005, 22:42

I voted for Others. The poll should have considered 'The Hindu' instead of leaving it to the 'Others'

.

IMHO, The news coverage/analysis is good in Hindu. Less of the masala stuff... for masala theres TOI.

For me, its The Deccan Herald followed by the TOI in the morning and the Hindu ( for leisurely reading ) at night.

Deccan Herald is good for State news...

All said and done, No paper can beat the 'Ascent' supplement published by TOI on wednesdays. At least for the IT folks, this is the best on offer for understanding the state of the industry .

satan_crazy · 27th September 2005, 22:49

Times of India - tabloid news ... heh ... nice timepass newspaper before going to the office
Business Standard - find this better than Economic Times, which is another tabloid.
