This short note on editorial philosophy and plan places\nTogether key points that guide, and will direct, The Economic Times, India’s\ntop business paper by readership, together with additional Times Group books,\nas they continue their efforts to be even more relevant and engaging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Information is plentiful across multiple platforms. There’s\nNow widespread recognition that cognitive capacities are negatively affected by\na deluge of information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In parallel, there’s a Enormous demand for information\nreaders Value most — details, investigations, data that (a) have passed\nseveral tests on accuracy and quality, and (b) focus aggressively on explaining\nthe current and comprehension how the future will evolve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Given these broad realities of the data marketplace, a\nQuality paper that keeps readers’ interests front and center in its own\neditorial planning must, therefore, do two things. To begin with, it has to\nknowingly and always avoid adding to this information glut. Secondly, it has to\nfocus its editorial tools on reporting and analysing the information most\nvalued by its readers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A particularly critical point here is a newspaper’s\ntreatment Of the past, of historical events, anniversaries connected to\nhistoric figures. Anniversaries, by way of example, tend to produce a flood of\neditorial matter appearing back, chock-a-block together with dates, places,\nevents, personalities which are history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But this is hardly applicable. For three reasons: First,\nInfo platforms not geared to information are numerous. Anyone interested in\nunderstanding about background has scores of options — she does not require\nnews programs to retell those very same stories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Second, with viewers prepared to tune out what’s not right\nRelevant or useful to them, great masses of history-themed coverage include\nlittle to the paper’s value.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Third, after from the second, consumers of information are\nInterested in issues which are shaping or may shape their own lives, in\naddition to problems that inform or entertain their existing and future-geared\nheads. What are these difficulties? Tech, entrepreneurship, careers, financial\nmarkets, the environment debate, sports, entertainment, style, and current\ndebates on identity politics, as an instance, diversity and inclusion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Problems like these will probably be overriding in editorial\nplanning Since there’s no value added for information consumers if a paper\nsimply retailors stories of the past that aren’t relatable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The chronological arrangement of coverage must start in the\npresent. The past will be considered important if, and only if, some thing in\nthe present or a potential future outcome could be better explained by\nreference to something in history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The editorial doctrine of ET recognises that information Consumers live in the current and dream or think or worry about the future. That is the guiding principle of the editorial coverage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
