Description: 

The story of Pothan Joseph is the story of India's nationalist press and the historic role it played before today's apolitical corporate pop-press took over. Joseph's daily column "Over a Cup of Tea" was legendary. He gave solid grounding to three major dailies • Hindustan Times, The Indian Express and Deccan Herald. He was also the first to demand that journalism be recognized as a learned calling. He paid heavily for taking that position.

Joseph's extraordinary career highlights the importance of professionalism, scholarship, and basic values. These are lessons here that override present-day commercialism, for neither commodification nor the internet can invalidate journalism's basic values. That is what makes this biography relevant to today's journalists and students alike.
