Well . . . the goal is to be different from other papers . . .to the best ability, capability, resources and space possible and available.

It will not be only "the same Indian stories from the same wire services," there will be more. There will be coverage about all nationalities and communities in the country, not just Indians, Pakistanis, Philipinos, British and Americans. It should give more attention to good things local Qatari have to offer or can offer on the personal level from talents, work and things done in a unique different way - all with taking respect to all. There are other communities in Qatar. The editorials should/will be more interesting and many of it is from the work of the local team, not just copy paste from other papers worldwide.

Sure! when the water runs off, when someone barks, you need ears to listen . . . the papers will be doing its best in this regard . .

The first edition has already been distributed and maybe some places may have run out. However, since it is a holiday today, many institutions, government departments, schools, private sector companies may have it along with the Monday edition. But give it a shot and check it our for the coming days . . . and you may/will notice it has other stuff others did not have! It should not be only a place for or about official meetings only, it will not be just to make compliments or bluffing, but also to analyze things, bring attention to issues, raise awarensss on many issues and offer constructive criticism and that is another way of making compliments to people. No one is perfect though!

Do you think I am a fan of The New York Times? nop! but other papers are very good; like the Independent from UK, Daily Star from Lebanon, Asia Times from Hong Kong, Guardian from UK, El Mundo from Spain or Republica from Italy or the English version of the Russian Pravda or The Globe and Mail from Canada and so on !!

I saw the paper earlier today and it is worth checking .. . i liked some of the editorials and opinions which had some spicy taste to them . . also there was an interview on the Doha Debates

Take care you all . . . .
