I think you guys might be a little naive when you discuss what the press is free to do here. Its not easy to find a newpaper's worth of decent news every day in what is basically a large city, with not a particularly large population. Crime is off limits, and official responses on anything can take a lot of time to come through.
Its very easy to slag people off, but things are certainly getting better, with the increased exposure of human rights violations and related stories. If you scan the particularly mundane issues discussed on a site like this, you will realise that not a lot goes on in Qatar every day.
As for the 'Bollywood' slurs - I think they are slightly misguided. For instance, GT has sections dedicated to a number of different regions. I'm sure a lot of indian readers are not particularly interested in the Ian Blair debaucle, but that still received coverage today.
How about people stop being so destructive - this was a request for suggestions to improve, not to slag off the papers here!
Right - I'm done, you lot can carry on now!
