Mr Sarkar, spare a thought for the reporters

Aveek Sarkar, Anand Bazar Patrika group (publishers of Business World,Telegraph) patriarch and now supposedly the largest shareholder in Star network in India, also founder Business Standard had this to say in the Business Standard's 30 years commemorative issue.

" I was baptised into a faith that recognised the primacy of the sub-editor. A reporter is no more than a Priya Trivedi or a Yana Gupta swirling into the limelight in somebody else’s clothes."

Probably Sarkar wanted romanticise his point and punch that extra effect to prove it, sadly it was in poor taste. One of the seniormost media barons, Sarkar sure has the knowledge and right to praise sub editors, but he certainly shouldn't rap poor reporters who too put in their fair share.

I vehemently oppose this particular view, do you?
