Media coverage of Carnatic Music/ Dec season

Post by Chalakkudi »

Apart from Hindu, how good is the media coverage of Dec Season? Forget the quality of Hindu's coverage.. Did any other newspaper/Channel give coverage? (let us refrain from the magazines of the yore)

I only see two newspaper on a daily basis. My impression is that the "other one" that I read, The New Indian Express gave more attention to "The Season," this year, than it has previously. Absolutely nothing compared to The Hindu.

Sadly* I have no idea. Other Chennai members will know, though.

I did happen to meet a few members of the family of HMB and came to know that his grandson is a music critic for a tamizh daily--which means that the newspapers do carry news and comments on the season. Anyone knows more about the coverage?

I have noticed some reports about carnatic music progams in the internet edition of tamil Dinamalar. I won't call them reviews, but simple reports. The print editions of the paper perhaps may have better coverage.
