Comments on: TOI Chennai Launch – How would the Hindu react? http://www.yaxislive.com/toi-chennai-launch-how-would-the-hindu-react/ Mon, 07 Nov 2011 17:38:39 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Anonymous http://www.yaxislive.com/toi-chennai-launch-how-would-the-hindu-react/comment-page-1/#comment-231 Anonymous Fri, 18 Apr 2008 03:38:00 +0000 http://www.yaxislive.com/toi-chennai-launch-how-would-the-hindu-react#comment-231 However arguably good 'The Hindu' is as a paper, nothing changes the fact that it is dull as dishwater as the saying goes....it reads like a text book......anyone tried reading the "Frontline", another publication from the Hindu stable?! It might as well be divided into neat chapters and distributed to students preparing for competitive exams!!!! So, the arrival of the Times of India should at least get the mandarins at the Hindu to wake up and move ass....change the styling...pep it up a bit....<br/>Saying that it will not affect the Hindu, is fatalism at its worst.<br/>Also The 'venerable' Hindu has not contributed much to develop the Chennai identity and is almost apologetic about it, as opposed to the Times which has the innate ability to identify itself to the city and its ethos in double quick time.<br/>Wanna bet.....TOI is going to give The Hindu a serious run for its money. The city reader will undoubtedly benefit with a wider choice.

Saying that it will not affect the Hindu, is fatalism at its worst.
Also The ‘venerable’ Hindu has not contributed much to develop the Chennai identity and is almost apologetic about it, as opposed to the Times which has the innate ability to identify itself to the city and its ethos in double quick time.
Wanna bet…..TOI is going to give The Hindu a serious run for its money. The city reader will undoubtedly benefit with a wider choice.

I could see that from your comments as well as the Hindu network signature in the visitor log at the time of your comments. The hostname is leased.thehindu.co.in and interestingly, this page has been viewed from the Hindu network more than 100 times since it was posted - thanks to you and your colleagues! @Raj – I was curious.

THE HINDU 's editorial on Tibet led to a very "dismayed" Ramachandra Guha and Shashi Tharoor writing on 4/10/2008. <br/><br/>Atleast now Chennai will be served some different view point and not one that always talks about the futility of a strategic alliance with the US and the benefits of being silent with respect to Tibet!!

Atleast now Chennai will be served some different view point and not one that always talks about the futility of a strategic alliance with the US and the benefits of being silent with respect to Tibet!!

But THE HINDU is the market leader in the South with clear understanding of its traditional readers. <br/>My view is Times may get a share in the market at Chennai but most of their readers will be totally new to English dailies or readers of other dailies may start buying Times as the second paper. This may be only due to their attractive schemes. With the launch of Times Of India at Chennai, the market share of THE HINDU will also increase as more awareness on English dailies will get created among the readers.

The competitive spirit is admirable, and I am sure in the whole deal, it will be readers like me who will ultimately benefit. And fully agree with you - good content is what people like us look for. @ Raj: Thanks for bringing the Hindu perspective in the debate here, tell me, do you work for the Hindu?
