Y todo apostando por la ética. En el estudio previo al lanzamiento, descubrieron que los lectores consideraban la falta de claridad y de credibilidad de los periodistas como los principales defectos del periodismo en la India. En su apuesta por la transparencia, Narisetti estableció un código de conducta para sus redactores, separó nítidamente los departamentos editorial y comercial, se da fe de los errores cometidos, etc. [Vía EditorsWeblog].
Marío García ha entrevistado en su blog a Narisetti sobre una hipotética saturación del mercado de diarios económicos, donde dos nuevos proyectos podrían unirse a los cinco ya existentes:
Mario: Do you see the need for another financial publication in India?Más, aquí.
Raju: The TV18/FT newspaper will be the 7th in the Indian market. It is unclearif there is real room for more than a couple of business dailies so there is a bubble quality to the whole segment right now. Mint appears to have shown that with smart segmentation and a differentiated offering, amoribund--the last business daily before Mint was 16 years ago--segment can come alive. Since Mint, one new business daily in English, two business dailies in Hindi, one business news TV channel have started and at least two business magazines have announced plans!
(...)
If the FT/TV18 paper can raise the bar on Indian business journalism and also bring in strong ethics and journalistic standards, it would be a good addition to Mint. FT has been unfortunately kept out of India thanks to a brazen misappropriation of its brand here so they are taking a JV route and one wishes them good luck, since this is their second such venture.
With 120,000 copies every day, we do have a clear following for Mint and we hope we can continue to serve readers who want clarity in writing, analysis and packaging, in a honest and ethical newspaper that doesn’t sell accessor news coverage.
