“We read the TOI so you don’t have to.“
Reuben Abraham wants to start "a blogger-driven Watching the TOI-type blog" to goad TOI into lowering the garbage they print every day. Any Mumbai residents with access to the paper version willing to volunteer?
Update#1: Charu adds a cool term - culture jamming - to the otherwise dull term of media monitoring but hopes TOI doesn’t get any free publicity from this effort. I hope that encourages more to join in. @mit has already begun something called, Horrific Times of India. Although it conveys the idea perfectly, we rather drop offensive words if the fisking is to be taken seriously.
Update#2: @mit bows to popular demand and rechristens his TOI-monitoring blog.

I already have a blog TOI Sucks . I can include all the volunteers as the team mebers and we can start maintaining a list. What do you all say?

You don’t need access to the paper version - every one can access the epaper from epaperdaily.timesofindia.com
