There is plenty of scope for high-level polemics about The OZ in the ongoing media and Internet debates following Robert Manne’s ‘Quarterly Essay’ on Murdoch.
I simply offered a specific low-level case study of the OZ’s reporting MO when it adopts a topic for special attention: India. In this instance the two different journalistic approaches (and content) were surely of some interest to readers, even perhaps to those who have such a dismissive blanket approach to the OZ’s reporting and opinion pieces. Readers’ contributions and comparisons would be most welcome.

Judging the newspaper’s performance on that and other available evidence would be a possible separate article but I leave that to other better qualified analysys and writers.

There are plenty of more personally attractive lines for me to follow up, including more on India, on the Hindi language, and on my continuing mini-survey of the performance of Google and Bing with their translating services. Russian and Hindi this time. Soon, I hope.

Un abrazo,
Brian

Or two.
