The Indian news media generate public interest through two distinct kinds of stories - the reporter's story and the editor's story. In 2005, when Parliament passed the Right to Information Act, which gave any Indian citizen access to most government documents, it was the result of a long and difficult process of influencing public opinion by reformers and persistent reporters. It was never a sexy story. Beat reporters kept pushing the many aspects of the idea of right to information, and the story slowly made its way from the inside pages to the front pages, from the periphery of television reportage to prime-time discussions. It was the reporter's story, and at the end of it, all the public was reasonably well informed about the act, why it was important and how they could use it.
The anti-corruption movement, on the other hand, was an editor's story from the very beginning... - Pictures - A View Inside Iran

- How Doctors Die
It's not a frequent topic of discussion, but doctors die, too. And they don't die like the rest of us. What's unusual about them is not how much treatment they get compared to most Americans, but how little. For all the time they spend fending off the deaths of others, they tend to be fairly serene when faced with death themselves. They know exactly what is going to happen, they know the choices, and they generally have access to any sort of medical care they could want. But they go gently. - Start 2012 By Taking 2 Minutes to Clean Your Apps Permissions

One analyst described it as an "upgraded rickshaw" and said it would pose no challenge to the Nano, which itself has attracted only a fraction of the buyers once anticipated because of production delays and safety concerns.
"After seeing the RE60, you realize what a phenomenal achievement the Nano is," said the analyst, Hormazd Sorabjee, editor of AutoCar India, a trade publication. "It is nowhere near a full-sized car which the Nano is. Clearly it's just not got the sophistication of the Nano." - The Joy of Quiet

For too long, we've pretended that the old problem of causality can be cured by our shiny new knowledge. If only we devote more resources to research or dissect the system at a more fundamental level or search for ever more subtle correlations, we can discover how it all works. But a cause is not a fact, and it never will be; the things we can see will always be bracketed by what we cannot. And this is why, even when we know everything about everything, we'll still be telling stories about why it happened. It's mystery all the way down. - Critics reviews and ratings this week - Players.
