MUMBAI BOMBINGS

This is a terrific cover...if they deliver inside what they promise in the headlines.

Newspaper readers don't need more TV-clonic coverage.

In terrorist attacks like this, we need explanations not just pictures, pictures and pictures.

The so-called web-citizen journalism provided some newspapers with very dramatic images of the tragedy and, excellent reaction!, many readers complained to the papers.

The message from them was clear: please be more sensitive and careful, don't exploit a wild crime just to get more traffic!

Oh, boy, some times readers have more news ethics culture than many editors.
