My Writeup: DNA - A new print for Mumbai readers!

DNA - Daily News & Analysis

Its a new news paper launched on Aug 30, 2005 in Mumbai. Started by the Indian television group Zee along with Dhainik Bhaskar, an Hindi daily the news paper was launched after an extensive survey of readers in Mumbai.

I had been in Mumbai 3 years back. And the only options for a good English daily was from the Times group - Times of India or Economic Times. But with DNA and Hindustan Times launched in Mumbai, we have got a wider choice in the print media.

I stumbled upon a copy of DNA recently, 'cos my rommie works with them. The content and presentation of the daily was as good as my favourite news paper The Hindu, in circulation in Southern India. DNA has some good sections and their finance and sports sections are pretty good. Many articles hold interest of the readers and the articles carry stuff that covers all sections of the educated society. Hope they continue to maintain the quality in the long run.

At present, DNA does not have a web presence. Will update this post as soon as they have one.
