Hold The Front Page

 

Reading the article, I'm not quite sure the reporter fully understood Michael's carefully nuanced coments about Indo-Pakistan relations...... But the photos, taken in the editorial offices and the room with the printing press look great!

The newspaper is called The Pratidin and you can check it out at www.pratidinakhabar.com. They print about 70,000 copies each night. Most are the Hindi edition, but there is also an edition in the local language of Murati of 18,000 copies. Newspapers cost 3 rupees (about 6 cents).

Advertising costs several hundred dollars for a prime front-page spot. We thank the newspaper for thinking our visit to be newsworthy and for spreading the word about GSE and Rotary.

While visiting the editorial offices, I thought I heard the immortal cry in the distance, "WOODSTEIN"!
