As for landing in trouble that is part of the job. If you look at today's publication carefully there is more general analysis than before I am emphasizing 'general' because earlier there was a focus on political analysis only. I don't agree some journalists are respected some are not but over all people realize that journalist are doing a very important job. I am proud that I have preserved my integrity. Not all journalists face danger nor are all journalists poorly paid.
Journalists can influence public opinion, but are their views an objective and studied.
Ideally a journalist should be highly motivated and should want to present the truth to his reader other things are peripheral. It was a bluff. Then write to the editor with one paragraph description of the article you want to write then good luck. Dharker what do you think about PAGE 3 of 'Bombay Times'. A newspaper has to cater to a wide variety of people.
