The special assembly session at Belgaum was very important in many respects. All the Kannada dailies have taken it very seriously and sent in thier half a dozen correspondents to Belgaum to cover the session extensively.
Vijay Karnataka and Samyukta Karnataka brought out special supplements on this accasion on the first day.
All the Kannada dailies had devoted atleast four to five full pages every day.The coverage by Vijay Karnataka and Kannada Prabha was commendable. They had a wonderful mix of reportage on different facets of the special session.
At last, Vijay Karnataka came out a front runner.
Prajavani, as usual, remained a gazeteer, only compiling facts making it dull and insipid.
Interestingly, the major English dailies had sent their correspondents but the space provided was abysmally limited.
On the opening day of the session, they put it on page one. Later they pushed it to the inside pages. English papers have not treated this special session so important.
What a pity! Any way this is not a Lakme India fashion show!!
