Lots of India in there

Good to hear that.

Do they use “India Ink”?

I am from India, and I believe newspapers are diminishing in fact. Many of us read our news on our smartphones/tablets/computers nowadays. Also there are about a 100 news channels on TV in various languages around, so newspapers are going down slowly.

Also considering that more people are getting literate day by day people are reading news, but on the digital media.

Did he forget to do a joke today?

This is funny?

Demonstrates how contemporary media make everything breaking news, even mundane data of no significance to viewers.

Their ‘news’ programs opening graphics attempt to make their very existence into ‘breaking news.’ NBC uses the ‘bullet fired down a tube’ approach to their NY headquarters, which is then pictured as a giant finger pointing at space, as if to say ‘we are the ultimate source.’

Then they present snippets of repetitive vids between yards of ads, adding up to about 23 minutes of ‘news’ in the half hour slot. And half of the vid time is devoted to the ‘anchor’ (could there be a more descriptive word for what they do than that?) previewing what the poor sucker stuck in the flood, hurricane, or war is going to tell us again.

C’est rire mais un se désespère

Starting tomorrow the strip runs in Urdu!

OMG This one was hilarious today! not

“Breathtaking News” It wasn’t me. It was my dog behind the couch . . .

I don’t get it. What’s the point? Is this supposed to be some kind of pun?

In a way. It appears to be a slam at what passes for breaking news nowadays.

Please return to the USA…. I love reading the Actual paper! :-)
