Hanuman, according to Maharashtra governor Vidyasagar Rao, was the first instance of a reporter under attack for his work, if you stretch the definition of journalism a bit. "The job of a journalist was never easy. Hanuman was perhaps the first messenger to be attacked. He had his tail burned by Ravana when he carried Ram's message to him", Rao said at the Redink awards given by the Mumbai Press Club on April 26. He was speaking right after a panel discussion on 'Shooting the Messenger".
