Prasun Sonwalkar, London blasts, and blogs

without comments

Prasun Sonwalkar studied in Goa, at the People’s High School, I think. Got to know him when he was on the desk at Bhubaneswar (for the TOINS), and contributed to the Deccan Herald, where I was then employed. We met up via Debashish Munshi.

Just today came across his article July 7 was a ‘tipping point’ for British media. It’s about the July 7 blasts in London and how the media — and specially blogs — responded to it. Indo-Asian News Service concludes the article saying: Prasun Sonwalkar is a London-based journalist and a journalism teacher at the University of the West of England. He can be contacted at sprasun at yahoo.co.uk

Sports, ESPN, and the cost of viewing a match

with 3 comments

Pamela D’Mello’s article titled Goaaaaaaaaal! But not every hotel and outlet has scored which offers an insight into the economics of football. So, ESPN is charging big money to screen football matches in Goa’s restaurants, making it tough for people to afford viewing!
