IN Media Watch Briefs | 26/03/2017
 The Mumbai Press club is known for organising innovative junkets for its members. Next month it will teach members "safe and responsible driving" in collaboration with Skoda India, something it did last year also. Skoda will of course provide Skoda cars for the drive from Mumbai to Nashik, and all the hospitality required for the overnight trip.
