Loyalty counts

I do owe an apology for my earlier blog about the way Kolkata newspapers had reacted to Steve Jobs’ death. I had made the comment reading the internet versions of the newspapers, which had a news story about his death, in stark contrast to the way other newspapers had splashed the story. The reality is that The Telegraph was shut on October 6 for Dashami (Dussehra) and, therefore, there was no edition of the newspaper the next day. The early morning net edition of the paper carried the news as its second lead. And, I had misconstrued it as it had been carried in its print edition.
I could have easily sneaked in a delete click and let my post go into oblivion as if nothing happened. But I chose to keep the post, say sorry in my next one and expose my misunderstanding of the reality. That's loyalty for the newspaper that shaped me up. Cheers!
