Hello, welcome to the announcement…But I am sad to inform that the organisation which rewards and recognizes excellence in journalism nurtures (?),for years journalists (of the rank of editor) at various bureaus who publish ‘pieces ‘ which have been dug out by ‘their juniors’ and publish it regularly. The reputation in that city about the journalist (editor) is that he is good but better at lifting the kudos for a ‘good’ story and even at times steals the award. Folks may be surprised but that is an ‘open secret’ amongst the journalist fraternity in that city. So much is the fear that when there is a vacancy there is dearth of applicants wishing to be enlisted for the stealing experience.
