Media Watch: Abundant Quality news in Newspapers

Media Watch: Last one week has been Hockey News Week what with hockey occupying prime space in the print media. Shifting of Champions Trophy, India winning the Asian Champions Trophy, and above all, the HI’s prize money of Rs.25k each player contributed to this extraordinary hockey coverage.

Even as late as today, there are so many hockey news items in the print media. As a part of our daily routine ‘What Newspaper Say today’ section, we are pleased to present gist of most news that appeared on today’s newspapers as a special case.
