Closing to survive

IN Media Watch Briefs | 03/07/2015

Freedom First, a monthly from Mumbai to promote liberal thought and the Swatantra Party ideals, founded 64 years ago by Minoo Masani,  will close its print edition  and continue only online, www.freedomfirst.in. An announcement in its July edition cites "paucity of financial and personnel resources."  Ironically, the announcement comes in the edition which carries several obituaries on its the long-term editor, S V Raju who died last month.
