DNA, Saamana, Prahaar and Sakaal all used an original map from a blog without so much as a by-your-leave.

A letter to the Hoot.

I was dismayed in the manner in which a Belgaum dispute map created by me for my blog www.ekmarathimanoos.blogspot.com was used without acknowledgement by DNA, Saamana, Prahaar and Sakaal. You can visit the blog as I have put images of all the four newspapers.

The map was part of a well researched article and was created painstakingly by actually going through records!

I do not expect any monetary rewards... Only acknowledgement!

Amazon resisting voluntary censorship

The new term for self censorship is voluntary censorship, as proposed by companies like Netflix and Hotstar.

Amazon is resisting because it fears that it may alienate paying subscribers.

Clearly, the run to the 2019 elections is on. A journalist received a call from someone saying they were from Aajtak channel and were conducting a survey, asking whom she was going to vote for in 2019. On being told that her vote was secret, the caller assumed she wasn't going to vote for 'Modiji'. The caller, a woman, also didn't identify herself. A month or two earlier the same journalist received a call, this time from a man, asking if she was going to vote for the BSP.
