The Hindu
The Hindu is an Indian English language newspaper published weekly since 1878 and daily since 1889. It has grown steadily to the current circulation of more than 850,000 copies and a readership of over 3 million, both in India and abroad.
The Hindu enjoys considerable popularity, especially in South India, for its traditionally moderate and independent editorial stand and for its reliable and balanced presentation of the news, with a positive attitude that shuns sensationalism.
The Hindu uses modern facilities for news gathering, page composition and printing. It is printed in eight centres apart from the Main Edition at Chennai (Madras) where the Corporate Office is based. The printing centres at Coimbatore, Bangalore, Madurai, Hyderabad, New Delhi, Vizag, Thiruvananthapuram, Kochi, Vijayawada and Mangalore are connected with high speed data lines for news transmission across the country.
On November 7 the Tamil Nadu Assembly passed resolutions sentencing the publisher and four journalists of The Hindu to 15 days simple imprisonment for breach of privilege of the House after the Privileges Committee of the House pronounced them guilty. In three news reports and one editorial published in The Hindu during April 2003 the news paper had criticized the proceedings of the assembly. The speaker of the assembly (AIADMK is the ruling party) pronounced the reports to be contemptuous of the assembly. The police action that was taken after this event was not carried out in accordance with rules and run with the intent of harassing the Hindu employees. The government action came under heavy fire from both the media and the opposition parties. It was described as against freedom of speech and violated principles of natural justice since the accused were not given the opportunity to appear before the Privileges Committee (a temporarily elected body). The supreme court of India stayed the arrests and the hearings of the case are still going on.
