Hope better days are in the offing with light and rays. In this traumatic pandemic, a thank you note is incomplete without saluting the departed as well as those who lost their loved ones while pursuing journalism selflessly. Journalism is a passion for us, not a profession. Once again, I would like to state that the entire family of Interview Times Media Network is firmly committed to positive journalism in pursuit of making a better society in the days to come. And, we count on your support and patronage to keep this tradition running. That is the narrative which you and I find relatable. These were the stories which escaped the wide lens of the big media. We chose to play up the stories of those personalities who climbed the success ladder by the dint of their grit and gumption. And, that has positioned The Interview Times where you find it today. Unfazed by the competing media platforms who are obsessed with the TRP game and have no qualms in compromising time-honoured media ethics, we can safely claim we are out of this mad race for recognition. We believe that we have espoused the cause of positive and developmental journalism with utmost honesty and rigour. As a result, the fear of losing the respect of the readers is what prevents us not to be stopping any publications related to those inspiring personalities on a regular basis in order to attain inspiration. One decade of carrying positive journalism is no less than providing a service to the nation.
