Signposts… October 5

From the MxMIndia Archives

Last year on October 5 we carried our first video-cum-text interview by Shruti Pushkarna, our Executive Producer. She interviewed Reckitt Benckiser India chief Chander Mohan Sethi. Interestingly, just as the Intel investment in Hungama happened yesterday, we carried the news on the hardware giant’s investment in Whats-on-India last year. Plus an an after-story on the FDI allowance hike for radio. Dassera happened early last year, so our Editor wrote the anchor on 10 media evils he would like to see banished on Dassera.

Copy us? Go ahead, says Reckitt honcho

Twenty years ago today, Sinead O’Connor tore up a picture of the pope on Saturday Night Live-and the media largely misunderstood why.
