Sir,

It is good to see that Newsnet One consistently publishes news items that are not highlighted by the mainstream media, and that issues are raised here that are not ‘passing sensations’.

There are several media students, or shall I rephrase that as ‘students of the media’ who contribute to this site from time to time. A striking feature about Newsnet is that the comments are scrupulously monitored, and rubbish or trolling is not allowed.

My wish list for Newsnet is that it should grow into a more ‘commercially viable’ site and continue to post more articles and insights on Music, Vinyl records, What social workers and NGOs are achieving, and also mirror the cases of intolerance and prejudice.

I have noticed that Newsnet would consistently report on LGBT issues in the past, but reportage has thinned in the past six months. Please do not stop or water down your support of marginalized communities.

Newsnet continues to have a ‘Bihar bias’ and a ‘Northeast bias’, and that is okay, because there are so many relevant issues in the northeast that are just not highlighted enough.

Wishing the editor and the team all the very best in the New Year,

Truly yours,

Bobby Lyngdoh, Iweduh, Shillong
