Making the list on the DesiClub site this year are several journalists. Two are friends of mine: Prof. Sreenath Sreenivasan and Hari Sreenivasan. No, they are NOT related to each other, but how often do two Sreenivasans find themselves on one “cool” list?

A Different Mirror
Via S. Mitra Kalita
Ashok Malik, a writer for the Indian Express seems to think that media conglomerates in the West hold a different mirror to the current disaster in South and South East Asia. He feels networks like CNN and the BBC are more prone, and somewhat comfortable, showing corpses of brown bodies on their telecasts; something they deliberately shied away from after the 9/11 attack on the World Trade Center or The Pentagon in the interest of preserving the privacy of those families who were grieving.
What are your thoughts?

Pankaj Paul Wins
Pankaj Paul, director of design and presentation at The News Journal in Delaware, recently received a Gannett Newspaper Newsroom Supervisor Recognition Award.
Pankaj played a key role in helping to improve the daily newspaper, develop and launch new sections and create prototypes for new non-daily products. He played a leading role in creation of a design desk and coached two new assistants on supervision of staffers. His work with new sections included Spark, the newspaper's weekly publication aimed at young readers, a new Health section for a range of readers, an expanded Delaware Parent section and two books.
For the Health section, Pankaj participated in brainstorming sessions, contributed strongly to discussions about what types of stories would work best for the targeted audience, the role of breakouts and graphics and the importance of diversity. At the same time, he advised students working on the student newspaper at the ASNE convention and participated in several programs in the Asian-American Journalists Association.
Congratulations!
