Editor (Crime), Editor (Dawood) & D-Company beat

Seems news channels have made Dawood a completely separate beat apart from the main crime. Every couple of days you have either a package on D company or something else pertaining to the past of the gangster.
Now the day Dawood's nephew died in an accident in Mumbai, Star TV was showing the family tree of the 'illustrious' family. Sheela Raval seems to have become Editor (Dawood) at Star while the same designation must be of Deepak Sharma in the Ajtak!
Almost every alternative I find some story on the D group in any of the channels including Channel 7, India TV and the numerous others.
Even bizarre was the story in which the Star TV 'broke' the news that a film on Salem may have either of the three Khans. They tried to showcase Amir, Salman and Shahrukh Khan in the get up of Abu Salem. Bravo! What an imagination.
Seems soon there will be separate beats to cover all gangsters including Abu Salem, Chhota Rajan and all in every channel. Editor (Salem), Editor (Chhota Rajan) and Editor (Shakeel). After all, one needs to just get hold of the dossier on the gangster and a few other informations from old stories available on the net. If you have a couple of sleuths who can tip you right or wrong info then you are just the ideal person for the job. Ironically gangsters and scounders have also been turned into celebrities thanks to this overzealous electronic media.

Circulation of DNA and HT in Mumbai

The pundits who claimed that Mumbai market did not have space for two more English newspapers were proved wrong.
IRS 2006 initial results suggest Daily News and Analysis (DNA) having a redership of 4 lakh and Hindustan Times (2.85 lakh) have found their footholds.
Times of India remains the leader.
Despite the circulation DNA is finding it hard because of the losses. HT is content with its circulation as it had started with more modest target. With a combined ad pack of all editions like Delhi, Lucknow, Patna, Bhopal, Jaipur, Kolkata and Ranchi, it can fetch revenues.

No facts but shout the loudest: Deepak Chaurasia makes a fool of himself once again

Aaj Tak's Deepak Chaurasia was enlightening all of us with his special comments the morning BJP leader Pramod Mahajan was shot.

Chaurasia revealed his 'closeness' with the family, like "I know his brother, sister, son, daughter....almost everybody....".

Then, he went on to describe his relations with the family for over a decade and categorically denied that there was any brother by the name Praveen.

It was shocking to see the journalist on one hand claiming that he knew Mahajan well and on the other hand, saying that he Mahajan had no brother.

'He seems to be a cousin of Pramod', said Chorasia. The Ajtak made a fool of itself as it banked upon Deepak for the special comments.

It was quite later that the channel retracted and corrected itself. Dipak...o....Dipak....the Laughter Challenge fame is only adding up to his 'reputation'.
