There will be a new name in the imprintline of Deccan Herald and Praja Vani from tomorrow: that of K.N. Tilak Kumar.
The middle brother in the Netkalappa family will replace younger brother K.N. Shanth Kumar, who had taken over from the eldest brother, K.N. Hari Kumar, five years ago.
A possible change of guard was being hissed about for the last three months after rumours of Deccan Chronicle buying into Deccan Herald made it to the television news headlines.
Tuesday’s developments give some credence to the “realignment” of forces in Bangalore’s crowded marketplace but well placed sources say the last has not been heard on the leadership issue.

OK, I knew a bit about family saga and I was the one who told some of my journalist friends about the change. I don’t think it is a breaking news. After all it is Bhai Bhai ka Jagada like Ambani brothers.

When i read that no politician was allowed to have his say in DH-PV I still rember the day when the Emergency & Press censorship was clamped The then Editor TSR( T.S.Ramchandra Rao of Prajavani) filled the his ever poipular coulmn “Choobaana” with big question marks. Now pathetic that where the things have come to. che che che! . The old Lady of Boribunder should not havecome to the city she is also the culkprit for all the causes.
