Today’s Ten: Trump triumph inspires some of the most creative headlines across newspapers

By Pradeep Damodaran in Media News on
Donald Trump and his historic win hogged media limelight across Indian newspapers, and perhaps, across the rest of the world after what can be nothing short of getting labelled as the most dramatic comeback in American political history. A glance at today's English newspaper headlines would reveal that. While the Indian Express went ahead with the banner headline of "Donald Triumph" to explain the Republican sweep in the presidential as well as senate elections, the Times of India screamed "Don is America's Most Wanted!" reminding readers that the new President used to be a convicted felon about a day earlier. The Economic Times went a step further and screamed “Don II: An offer America couldn’t refuse” inspired by the Godfather visuals. Chidanand Rajghatta for The Times of India wrote, "In the greatest comeback in American political history, Donald Trump is returning to the White House for a second term with a victory for the ages. The Republican candidate defeated Dem

Ray Hadley bids farewell to 2GB after iconic radio career

By Staff Writer in Media News on
Ray Hadley, a prominent figure in Australian radio, has announced his retirement from 2GB on Thursday, Mediaweek reported.  Hadley revealed that his final broadcast will be on December 13, citing a desire to spend more time with his wife Sophie, their four children, and seven grandchildren. He expressed gratitude for the support from his family and his colleagues at 2GB, emphasising the impact the station had on his success.

Today’s Ten: Any private property can no longer be taken over for ‘common good’

By Pradeep Damodaran in Media News on
In a historic verdict that could have far reaching consequences, a nine-judge Supreme Court bench Tuesday rescinded a 46-year-long socialist interpretation of Article 39(b) of Constitution to authoritatively rule that community resources cannot encompass every private property. By a seven-to-two majority judgment, authored by CJI D Y Chandrachud for himself and Justices Hrishikesh Roy, J B Pardiwala, Manoj Misra, Rajesh Bindal, S C Sharma and A G Masih, the apex court said it cannot subscribe to an expansion of the definition of community-owned material resources to bring in its ambit privately owned assets. Justice B V Nagarathna partially agreed with the CJI but Justice Sudhanshu Dhulia penned a dissent, adopting a socialist interpretation of Article 39(b). Discussing the meaning of ‘distribution’ of material resources of the community so as to subserve common good, as mandated by Article 39(b) in the Directive Principles of State Policy chapter of the Constitution, the bench
