Nothing's holy anymore. Not even the front page of the newspapers.

Some weeks ago, this was how the front page looked like for all the 3 newspapers our office subscribes to.


Whoa !!!  Yeah, we understand you need advertisements to run newspapers in a world where the subscribed readership is reducing by the day and many big names in the US / Europe print-media have already shut down. Add to it the cut-throat competition that makes you sell a copy for 3 bucks - does that even cover the cost of the newsprint ?

In contrast, a Malayalam newspaper that has only maybe half the pages sells at double the price. Which means they can actually print news on the front page, instead of using it as a big paper billboard like the English press.

Atleast retain the sanctity of the front page, guys !!!
