Legacy of the printed word
The Hindu
When a reporter finds a loyal reader at an unexpected place, it is a memory to be treasured
The printed word faces competition from rapidly evolving technology and that makes reading an accomplishment by all standards. It has undergone numerous reincarnations in style while taking on TV news, online portals and digitisation of the print media. But who will deny that the printed word is always read with interest and curiosity, is appreciated and criticised, and the best preserved for posterity?
Whatever be the compulsions of the industry, it is the reader (read: subscriber) who has the final word because nothing matches the pleasure of holding a newspaper in hand and reading it from the first word of the first column on the top left of the front page to the last word at the bottom right of the back page.
