    Senior journalist Anto T Joseph is all set to join The New Indian Express as Resident Editor (Tamil Nadu), it is learnt. Based out of the paper’s headquarters in Chennai, Joseph will be in charge of all the half dozen editions in the state. He is likely to take charge on Monday, August 2, our sources tell us.

    Joseph has worked with The Economic Times, Deccan Chronicle Group and DNA in various editorial roles including Editor (Infrastructure) at ET, Resident Editor of Financial Chronicle and Managing Editor of DNA. Recently, he flagged off a ‘much-viralled’ series of articles called ‘Who owns your Media’ at Newslaundry. He also wrote for Fortune, Mint, The Caravan and Money9, in the last two years.

    A British Chevening scholar, Joseph has worked with The Guardian (UK) and La Vanguardia (Spain) in the past.

    #1 Caravan
    Published by Delhi Press, would be wrong to call it India’s answer to New Yorker, but a good read nevertheless. Was resurrected by the younger generation of the Naths and with a gora editor in tow.

     

    #2 Reader’s Digest
    Oh, yes, it’s still around. The format may not have changed much, but it’s the Digest content and attention to detail and fact-checking makes it a great buy.

     

    #3 Economic & Political Weekly
    You may not get it at all the railway stalls, but get hold of a copy and we’re sure you’ll enjoy it for the quality of content.

     

    #4 Current
    Resurrected by the late owner-editor Ayub Syed’s son Asif, Current is a super read with some incisive political analyses, often by heavyweights in the biz. Check content on the website, currentnews.in.

     

    #5 Screen
    Critics may say it exists more for the awards than to serve as the voice of the Indian film trade as it once did, but the bold new tabloid avatar is interesting and easy-to-navigate.One does miss those big broadsheet ads, but this is the age where smallness rules.
