Editor-Supplements (ThanePlus)
The Times Group.
Tell us something about your profile?
I
have been in the profession for 27 years, with the
Times of India, Midday, Afternoon, The Metropolis
on Saturday, and now with the Times of India supplements
as Editor.
What all steps are you taking to give better quality
to Thaneplus?
We are making it representative of the hopes,
dreams and aspirations of Thane. More interactivity,
more news and more feedback is continuously planned.
Our mantra is Be there, or youre nowhere!
How can a normal person contribute to Thaneplus?
Anyone can contribute articles, reports and photographs.
However, we expect you to discuss the story idea with
us, get a proper brief and only then proceed.
What steps do you take to have the best contents?
We interact constantly with our reporters, have
regular readers meetings and constantly innovate,
so that everyone is kept on his or her toes!
What
is the secret formula of the success of Thaneplus?
The fact that it is for, by (largely) and of Thane.
Former commissioner Chandrashekhar said in Nagpur
that Thane Plus had contributed to Thanes development.
That is the biggest compliment we have received.
What
are your future plans?
To be associated increasingly with local activities
to be pro-active in civic issues, to be automatically
considered as the paper of the place and the people.
Any message to the Thaneites?
Yes take pride in Thane. At 1000 years old, it
makes Mumbai look like a Kal ka bacha! Learn to be
yourselves and give back to the city a little of what
it gave you.
