Topic: Readers' Editor

ThePrint at 8. Readers are evangelists, critics, and asserting their ‘right’

We welcome criticism and accept it in the spirit it is made: to help us improve ThePrint.

Pahalgam, Pakistan generals, pitches—what readers wrote to us in May

Quite often, I receive backhanded compliments that are actually complaints.

Inside ThePrint’s mailbox—readers bring us praise, critique, and everything in between

One minute, I am being questioned about the “Razakars and their oppressive rule”. Next, a reader demands an app for the website. Another reader from Thailand wants to contribute articles to ThePrint.

App demands, ad complaints, admiration — what’s really trending in ThePrint’s mailbox

I would urge all readers to be part of a conversation with ThePrint about its editorial content—we love feedback and learn from it.

What do NYT, WaPo, Economist, Guardian, FT write about Modi’s India? Just read ‘Global Pulse’

As India’s stock has risen — whether it is the economy, IT industry, NRI population, or India’s role as a key diplomatic counterpoint to China — the global media’s interest here has increased.

ThePrint’s election coverage isn’t about who’s winning. It’s about the mood on the ground

To learn about dynastic politics, read ThePrint stories on the Sorens’ battle in Jharkhand, poacher Veerappan’s daughter Vidya Rani in Tamil Nadu, the Ansari family in Ghazipur, and more.

Criticism, kindness, complaints—ThePrint readers don’t hold back. And we don’t want them to

Complaints are the most common feature of readers’ mail. Much of this mail is still stuck on the same issue of partisanship—this suggests that we haven't moved on from historical resentments.

How ThePrint’s reporters and photographers covered Ram temple and Ayodhya—beyond politics

For 22 January, five journalists of ThePrint were in Ayodhya, several days in advance. If this was the first draft of history in the making, we wanted to be sure we wrote it.

No internet, high propaganda—ThePrint got you Manipur stories through dictation & SMS

The difficulty faced by editors and reporters was simple in its complexity — ignorance. How do you convey the intricacies of Manipur's historical Kuki-Meitei enmity that suddenly turned violent?

Here’s what readers of ThePrint said to us in 2022—and what we are offering in 2023

I receive frequent emails accusing ThePrint of 'anti-Hindu bias' or urging us to write more about 'the Nazi politics of Hindutva'. Sometimes, readers generously concede and correct themselves.

On Camera

On Arundhati Roy, mother-daughter conflicts, and the burden of being a ‘good mother’

When reading the book, one can see Roy’s mother as a 'fascist government' unto herself, the centre of her own cult. In Arundhati’s words, Mary Roy was ‘mother guru’.

A Rs 33,000 cr ‘banking fraud’: ED’s case against Arvind Dham, Amtek’s web of ‘500 shell companies’

ED has accused Amtek promoter Arvind Dham of controlling web of nearly 500 shell companies operating as a layered structure, with up to 15 levels of indirect ownership, to divert funds.

Loyal wingman’ to full ICBM triad & air defence, China’s show of power at Victory Day parade

China flaunted military might & modernisation as it displayed stealth drones, anti-satellite system & cyber warfare contingent during parade to mark victory over Japan in WWII.

For Indian Mercedes, Asim Munir’s dumper truck in mirror is closer than it appears

From Munir’s point of view, a few bumps here and there is par for the course. He isn’t going to drive his dumper truck to its doom. He wants to use it as a weapon.
