Tehelka.

Tehelka broke the BAE/bribery story, and got smashed for being right too often.

Tehelka's editor writes:

We intend to launch a Sunday paper and revamp the website, so we can continue practicing independent, aggressive, public interest journalism. The Tehelka paper will not be aligned to any political party or business house. The final touchstone of all its journalism will be public interest.

This looks like something we should be reading and supporting.

Agreed.

Have heard mutterings elsewhere about big *NRI* backing for the relaunch, hopefully giving them some stability.

It's going to be tough tho. Read some of the Hindustan Times coverage of the Indian gov's 'response'.

Tehelka were 'investigated'/harassed by the police, intelligence services, inland revenue. Their backers were jailed without charge. They've got no time to produce work, even if they could afford to,as they're tied up with endless legal paperwork...
