Mumbai in the media

I’ve been working at MediaGuardian.co.uk two days a week helping cover a staff sabbatical. I cover various media stories, from television ratings to job cuts. Today the focus was on the terrible events unfolding in Mumbai – I found myself speaking to the Reuters south Asia correspondent on his mobile phone as he waited around the back of the Taj Mahal hotel for the body bags to be brought out. The result was this article on how the media is covering the story, plus this blog on the Mumbai v Bombay issue and whether papers that stick to the old nomenclature are missing out on web search traffic.
