I would like to see how good a job the Indian newspapers are doing not only in covering spot news items related to this evolution, but rather in presenting a comprehensive picture of the broad trend - if, in fact, they think The New York Times got it right.

"In India, Chinese Leader Pushes Trade" - NYTimes.com

It would be very helpful to see a selection of stories as they appeared in Indian newspapers covering this meeting.

What a great opportunity for Indian newspapers to tell this story from their perspective and to offer value to visitors in addition to their Indian and other customers in the country.

"It’s Morning in India" - NYTimes.com

So how can someone outside India follow President OBAMA's visit to India from afar? What are Indian newspapers doing to tell that story to us from THEIR perspective?

Based on what I have heard from the BBC, it appears that there was a big Facebook component to this case. Perhaps others stories in India are reporting/discussing this....?

This is all the more reason that Indian newspapers may wish to do more to serve the information and service needs of people traveling to India from other countries.

"Delhi gears up for Commonwealth Games" - The Hindu

I don't understand the inclusion of "Xinhua" in the dateline area. Is Xinhua simply distributing the story or did they write it?

If someone wanted to read the full text of the court's opinion, this is not the place to find it, or to get help in finding it.

Why couldn't/shouldn't The New York Times provide links here to newspapers in India and other sources related to the Games that the Times believe are credible? Such a move would add tremendously to the value that I, for one, derive from visiting this page and reading this story.

"NDMC, MCD cleaning army swoops on Games Village" - Hindustan Times

For such an important issue, I see nothing in this story that makes me want to believe this account over what I have just posted from The New York Times. Why wouldn't the Hindustan want to do a better and more comprehenisve and accurate job of reporting all aspects of this story than The New York Times?

When I searched for "sanitation commonwealth" (without any quotes) on the Hindustan Times site, here is the result: "0 results found for sanitation commonwealth". I find that really troubling.

"Food rules" - NewsObserver.com

Food safety and security are important issues in India and in the United States. There are tremendous opportunities for newspapers in both countries to collaborate and coordinate in the interest of reporting on and advocating food-related issues. There is nothing to be lost by such cooperation and perhaps something of significance to be gained.

"Global Alliance for Clean Cookstoves"

What are some of the creative opportunities for newspapers in Indian to deal with an initiative such as this? Any such moves must respect editorial independence of course, but is there a larger role that newspapers could play while safeguarding that editorial independence?

This "alliance" was announced today.

How do the newspapers of India best utilize this New York Times story? Do they believe it is accurate? If not, where are the problems? What would they add?
