Ed vs management
On April 24 the Hindu in Chennai carried a front page statement from the editor, Siddharth Varadarajan, disassociating the editorial side of the paper from a ‘jacket’ in the Tamilnadu editions on Monday which had an in-house ad addressing readers on the occasion of Akshaya Tritiya. The ad said, “The belief that buying gold on this day would make you prosperous throughout the year is shared by one and all”. Varadarajan said that editorially they did not endorse that statement.
