Letter to the Hoot—critiques of art coverage wanted

BY singh| IN Opinion | 05/01/2004
If we get around to understanding Mediaøs relationship with Art, there will be enough for us to discover, to talk about and to share.

 

 Dear Editor

I must inform you that for a young journalist ( in age and  experience),  TheHoot along with  MEDIAAH! , is a ready resource guide  on anything and well almost, everything under the Media sun!
 
 What strikes me as a reader is the exhaustive range of topics  you cover with passion and the  number of contributors who help  readers like me, understand the issues and present them without make-up!
 
 However, I find it vital to admit that I am slightly disappointed   with TheHoot vis-a-vis its art  coverage or the lack of it. It is  interesting to note that we admire and encourage people to take  interest in arts but how much do we contribute as media  commentators, writers and speakers in  ensuring the steady flow of  information on the world of Indian Art?
 
 Dance, films,theatre, music, sculpture, painting, singing, poetry, prose..the list is endless... I am  sure, if we get around to understanding Media`s relationship with Art, there will be enough for us to discover, to talk about and to share.
