It is amazing how media can be selective about reporting. Even a magazine as respected as Forbes. About a month back, I read a news scroll that Forbes India’s editorial team had been shown the door overnight. I remember reading the full article too. And was shocked. But when June’s issue reached home, it still had Indrajit Gupta introducing the monthly. So what was that which I read, I wondered to myself. And then went back to the magazine and later, the everyday grind, completely forgetting about the leadership change topic. But yesterday, when I got this month’s edition, I realised it was neither Gupta nor Charles Assisi putting together the editorial intro. Instead, it was R.Jagannathan, who mentioned the change in just one line — “Meanwhile, there is a leadership change at Forbes India as well.” Promised myself to Google. Which I did – Leadership Change in Forbes India. This threw up the usual gyan-filled, thought-provoking, inspiring articles that Forbes publish so effortlessly. Page 1, Page 2 had the same stuff. So I changed my search words — What made Indrajit Gupta quit Forbes. This got me the news!! Quite a bit of a story there. After this I scanned through this month’s edition and nowhere is the ‘change in leadership’ mentioned. I sit back. Thoroughly amused. What if such a ‘coup’ had happened in one of the best/well-known corporates in the world? Would Forbes have down-played the ‘breaking news’? wp.me/p2DJby-5F
