I wrote a long mail to Michelle Nicolosi to describe the online journalism scene in India. If OJR focuses on India it would help to re-focus on issues concerns the newest form of journalism.
A major concern is the lack of data on the Indian scene. For instance, I would very much interested to know changes in newsroom Internet usage patterns. That would require periodic surveys. We can attempt that at CIJ but for that to happen it should emerge as a important web destination for journalists in India and the subcontinent. (That reminds me, although IOJ has wanted to claim to represent the South Asian region, we haven't include people from other country in the region.) Of course, online suverys have their own limitations.
