India :Obiturary news
Saturday, August 26th, 2006

I don’t excatly know how US and European newspaper’s carry obiturary news.But one thing is sure that vernacular dailies in India devote more space for such news.In Kerala (southern part of India),every language newspaper spend more than one page for obiturary news.Apart from that death of big names were given in the front page itself..
Kerala kaumudi covered the death of the poet Ayyappa Panicker as its page onemain story(first one) . Shehnai wizard Bismillah Khan(second one) also got a prominent place in page one .Research study shows that in our part readers third interest is obiturary page after sports and front page
NB: I LIKE TO KNOW HOW OTHERS COVER OBITURARY NEWS
