GULF TIMES to KERALA TIMES

Despite all faults Gulf Times is still my favourite. They don't make many claims as the other two papers often do. Its coverage is widespread. It is true the Kerala coverage in the paper is more, that could be because of the active Kerala community, as some entries suggest here. But it is a fact that at all the three papers the top people are Indians. In fact I see more non-Indian writers' names in Gulf Times, with Arabs, Africans and Britons among them prominently.

RU

Two of the English-language dailies have Western expats in charge of editorial decisions. The problem (if you see it as that) of Kerala news in the dailies has a few causes, but I doubt whether it has much to do with the Gulf Times being run by an Englishman or an Indian.

* There are many more Indians than Brits reading the dailies, so it's obvious that the papers should reflect the interests of their readers.

* There are many more Indians in Doha, so they generate more stories.

* Western expats don't send photos to the papers if their kid scores highly in an exam.

Get a grip people. If you want a British newspaper, buy the Daily Mail.

Do your work and relax...why do you want to listen others...take enough rest and sleep well..then you will not think about others...

hey, someonenew this kinda feels familiar does it? (like realsomeone's "disgusting" thread, perhaps?) ;)

Listen none of the malayalees or people from gulf times gives a crap abt wat u think.

Thats why Gulf times still prints news from Kerala/India, too bad. Tough luck! Get lost!

Dear Friend, Why !!! You have no words ??? You should admit the facts instead of jealous on otheres. Have a nice day dear. Concentrate on your work da and try to get double promotion on top of an Indian. Good Luck darling.

Hi Dear, Believe you are a tourist here, came for spending money!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Dear, Nature of peoples are different / varies case to case even if from the same community. It is applicable for your community also. Please have a close look, then you comment. Don't dare to slam any community.

with Love.

indians are all indians u know what i mean! =)

Indians are indians... They patronize there own... Look their ladies (keralites esp..) they wearing their sari even in pool or in beach. Not to mention they are love HINDI coz they think that is the international language... LOL!

they work like animals ..they r here 4 money..they will do anything..even eat cowdung

sAY ^^,

Tsk, tsk... some of u r so vain!!! I think this mud slinging is mostly a result of jealousy!!!

I actually prefer Indians, especially people from Kerla. They r VERY hard workin, adjustable, reliable and no doubt intelligent. No hang-ups, no tantrums, no disciplinary issues, no problems wat-so-ever! Exemplary work performance they achieve too.

If they r all over the planet, its coz they r welcome everywhere! Where ever they go they gel well with local people and culture. They r, in my opinion, the epitome of "wen in Rome, b a Roman". And coz of this they flourish, dont they?

Ok, i do have to admit, a majority of them may not b too presentable (sorry bout this, no offence), but how much EXTRA value does a guy with gelled hair, pink shirt, pointy shoes, and a BRANDS suit bring to ur business or organizaton. I've employed a few of this kind & had to get rid of them within a couple of months coz of numerous customer/client complaints and pathetic performance. All talk & no follow thru; all fart and no shit!

Yeah u could say i am biased, but i have my valid reasons dont i?

-

well im from beautiful country with 3 stars and a sun( from philippines)

how can i contribute if there is no space anymore in gulf times?tell me ^^, space only for kerala expat!

yeh the editor is from kerala. no wonder whenever sumone from kerala dies, it gets posted. as if they r the only ppl who die. but they r very nice ppl - calm n quiet.

Gulf Times are most indians there thats why ..and i dont know why theres no whoever is resposible to stop them make Gulf Times look like Indian Times! or kerala times

I dont live with example..Reather I prefer to be an example!

it is NOT because they are active, or attending charity organization or so...who doesnt? other nationalities do morethan them but its just indians are so selfish if they work somewhere they will make that place as indianization, look at the airport if u r in doha international airport u think you are in bombay airport they even speak hindi to everyone, my last vacation i was traveling, the tunisian guy was too pistoff he coulding find someone to speak arabic with and they are english he couding understand them , he asked me is this doha airport or bombay airport. qatar airways u will know it bcz it has a logo otherwise u will think u r flying with indian airline even indian crew speaks hindi to each other in front of passengers! u start hearing hindi from the checkin to the aircraft.

I dont live with example..Reather I prefer to be an example!

the more you hate, the more you love,...

hmm, does this apply to member1? guess not...

Talk about indians, especially malabari, and member1 doesnt say anything- not possible. He's on a 'I hate malabaris ' mission. Am sure his g/f ran away with a malabari.

so gulf times is no 1 in doha

some times its shortage allso specialy in tursday

LoL Jamille...........

No Dear - Time 4 me to Buzz Off !!

C Ya !!!

lol Rizks,.. still need panadols?

member1 .............

I C u hav a great Love n Effection for the Malabaris ...???

ufffff..malbaris everywhere ..i hate gulf times ..i like qatar tribune..peninsula is also malbari...gulf time ..peninsula ..filled wid malbaris and it takes connections for icc to put in newspaper...philipines even if they ask it will be ignored...

that means the main readers of Gulf Times Indians especially keralite.

Try to read Gulf Times from today, so they will add philippines news................

x_albhertz...anyway where you are from....you can also contribute something to Gulf Times..

no biggie... Rizks, i got a truckload of panadols, want some?...

That's true man! As I know everyone there is from India!

= )

aak !!!!!!

Lemme hav my PanaDoL .......

mathmatics work that way....Coverage will always depend on the readership which is directly proportional to the demographics...

...You can't mean what you say unless you can say what you mean...

I think is coz they r very active in community work, social work, sports and other activities. If they r doin somethin worthwhile, y not give them the credit for it and highlight it?

y do v need to b a dog in the manger? i'd say keep up the good work!

I too have observed the same. But see my friend.. From what i understand, Indian or shall i say Kerelite community in Doha, of for that fact even in U.A.E are a very active community who are involved in so many things most i have seen are +ive things be it sports, political in house meetings, parties, charity, group festivals or cultural programs. And also the community here is strong. I wish pakistani, Filipino or anyother community for that fact do the same.

Lets not complain and get down to racist comments. The editorial is purely Kerelities from India, but i would prefer Gulf Times any day to Peninsula or Qatar Tribune.

Maybe this is my preference.. but the choice is open to all..

In conclusion i would say, wake up other communities do something and make news on the front page.. Ofcourse in a healthy, friendly positive way...

Best of Luck..
