Paid news is no stranger to Goa, only this time it&#039;s drawing unfriendly attention. Those are excerpts from recorded conversations between Tulshidas Desai, marketing manager of OHeraldO (the Herald) and Goa-based journalist Mayabhushan Nagvenkar.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The journalist was pulling off a sting posing as Bernard Costa, a would-be candidate in the State&#039;s Assembly polls to be held early next year.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The Herald&#039;s marketing manager is making a sales pitch when the journalist calls up and asks how much it would cost to have an interview of himself dressed up as news. The Herald claims to be Goa&#039;s largest-circulated English daily.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;ldquo;Ya, but can you send me a quotation?&amp;rdquo; the journalist posing as a candidate asks Mr. Desai. &amp;ldquo;A rough quotation [of what it costs]?&amp;rdquo; Mr. Desai knows an ethical line is being crossed and is wary of leaving a trail. &amp;ldquo;This is like an editorial kind of thing, no,&amp;rdquo; he says. &amp;ldquo;I can&#039;t mention on the paper, you know &amp;hellip; .&amp;rdquo;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;

&lt;em&gt;Money for interview&lt;/em&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
In the conversations, the marketing manager appears to confirm that Raymond D&#039;Sa [an aspiring candidate from Cortalim in south Goa] paid Rs. 2 lakh to get his &amp;lsquo;interview&#039; carried in the Herald of October 20, the morning of the conversation.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Mr. Nagvenkar: &amp;ldquo;So Raymond&#039;s interview was [for] two lakh [rupees].&amp;rdquo; Desai: &amp;ldquo;Ya, ya, ya, ya, ya &amp;hellip;&amp;rdquo; But &amp;ldquo;you are not going to say advertorial, [above the interview], no? asks the journalist. No, Mr. Desai [who first mentioned &amp;lsquo;advertorial&#039;] reassures him. It would be just like Raymond D&#039;Sa&#039;s interview. &amp;ldquo;Today how nothing is mentioned no? Like that only &amp;hellip; .&amp;rdquo; However, Mr. D&#039;Sa, when contacted by The Hindu , flatly denied having made any payment for the interview.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Since these audio recordings went public, all hell has broken loose. Except in Goa&#039;s media, which remains stoically silent on a scandal which broke just after the Election Commission of India handed out the first-ever verdict in Indian electoral history disqualifying a sitting legislator for improper accounts and indulging in &amp;ldquo;paid news.&amp;rdquo;

&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Paid news is no stranger to Goa, only this time it&#039;s drawing unfriendly attention. Those are excerpts from recorded conversations between Tulshidas Desai, marketing manager of OHeraldO (the Herald) and Goa-based journalist Mayabhushan Nagvenkar.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The journalist was pulling off a sting posing as Bernard Costa, a would-be candidate in the State&#039;s Assembly polls to be held early next year.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Sales pitch&lt;/em&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The Herald&#039;s marketing manager is making a sales pitch when the journalist calls up and asks how much it would cost to have an interview of himself dressed up as news. The Herald claims to be Goa&#039;s largest-circulated English daily.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;ldquo;Ya, but can you send me a quotation?&amp;rdquo; the journalist posing as a candidate asks Mr. Desai. &amp;ldquo;A rough quotation [of what it costs]?&amp;rdquo; Mr. Desai knows an ethical line is being crossed and is wary of leaving a trail. &amp;ldquo;This is like an editorial kind of thing, no,&amp;rdquo; he says. &amp;ldquo;I can&#039;t mention on the paper, you know &amp;hellip; .&amp;rdquo;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Money for interview&lt;/em&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
In the conversations, the marketing manager appears to confirm that Raymond D&#039;Sa [an aspiring candidate from Cortalim in south Goa] paid Rs. 2 lakh to get his &amp;lsquo;interview&#039; carried in the Herald of October 20, the morning of the conversation.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

Mr. Nagvenkar: &amp;ldquo;So Raymond&#039;s interview was [for] two lakh [rupees].&amp;rdquo; Desai: &amp;ldquo;Ya, ya, ya, ya, ya &amp;hellip;&amp;rdquo; But &amp;ldquo;you are not going to say advertorial, [above the interview], no? asks the journalist. No, Mr. Desai [who first mentioned &amp;lsquo;advertorial&#039;] reassures him. It would be just like Raymond D&#039;Sa&#039;s interview. &amp;ldquo;Today how nothing is mentioned no? Like that only &amp;hellip; .&amp;rdquo; However, Mr. D&#039;Sa, when contacted by The Hindu , flatly denied having made any payment for the interview.

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Paid news is no stranger to Goa, only this time it&#039;s drawing unfriendly attention. Those are excerpts from recorded conversations between Tulshidas Desai, marketing manager of OHeraldO (the Herald) and Goa-based journalist Mayabhushan Nagvenkar.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The journalist was pulling off a sting posing as Bernard Costa, a would-be candidate in the State&#039;s Assembly polls to be held early next year.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Sales pitch&lt;/em&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The Herald&#039;s marketing manager is making a sales pitch when the journalist calls up and asks how much it would cost to have an interview of himself dressed up as news. The Herald claims to be Goa&#039;s largest-circulated English daily.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;ldquo;Ya, but can you send me a quotation?&amp;rdquo; the journalist posing as a candidate asks Mr. Desai. &amp;ldquo;A rough quotation [of what it costs]?&amp;rdquo; Mr. Desai knows an ethical line is being crossed and is wary of leaving a trail. &amp;ldquo;This is like an editorial kind of thing, no,&amp;rdquo; he says. &amp;ldquo;I can&#039;t mention on the paper, you know &amp;hellip; .&amp;rdquo;

&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Money for interview&lt;/em&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
In the conversations, the marketing manager appears to confirm that Raymond D&#039;Sa [an aspiring candidate from Cortalim in south Goa] paid Rs. 2 lakh to get his &amp;lsquo;interview&#039; carried in the Herald of October 20, the morning of the conversation.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Paid news is no stranger to Goa, only this time it&#039;s drawing unfriendly attention. Those are excerpts from recorded conversations between Tulshidas Desai, marketing manager of OHeraldO (the Herald) and Goa-based journalist Mayabhushan Nagvenkar.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The journalist was pulling off a sting posing as Bernard Costa, a would-be candidate in the State&#039;s Assembly polls to be held early next year.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Sales pitch&lt;/em&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The Herald&#039;s marketing manager is making a sales pitch when the journalist calls up and asks how much it would cost to have an interview of himself dressed up as news. The Herald claims to be Goa&#039;s largest-circulated English daily.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;ldquo;Ya, but can you send me a quotation?&amp;rdquo; the journalist posing as a candidate asks Mr. Desai. &amp;ldquo;A rough quotation [of what it costs]?&amp;rdquo; Mr. Desai knows an ethical line is being crossed and is wary of leaving a trail. &amp;ldquo;This is like an editorial kind of thing, no,&amp;rdquo; he says. &amp;ldquo;I can&#039;t mention on the paper, you know &amp;hellip; .&amp;rdquo;

&lt;em&gt;Money for interview&lt;/em&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
In the conversations, the marketing manager appears to confirm that Raymond D&#039;Sa [an aspiring candidate from Cortalim in south Goa] paid Rs. 2 lakh to get his &amp;lsquo;interview&#039; carried in the Herald of October 20, the morning of the conversation.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Mr. Nagvenkar: &amp;ldquo;So Raymond&#039;s interview was [for] two lakh [rupees].&amp;rdquo; Desai: &amp;ldquo;Ya, ya, ya, ya, ya &amp;hellip;&amp;rdquo; But &amp;ldquo;you are not going to say advertorial, [above the interview], no? asks the journalist.

&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Caught offering to publish scripted political interview as &amp;lsquo;news&#039; for Rs. 86,400&lt;/em&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;ldquo;First we&#039;ll do one interview on TV on HCN [Herald Cable Network] and after that episode next week, we can carry the same kind of write-up [in the Herald] &amp;hellip; how it appeared today, no ... for the HCN thing you have to make a payment of 50,000 [rupees] &amp;hellip; and this particular size for Herald, it will be 86,400 rupees &amp;hellip; Only you will have to prepare from your side which kind of questions you will like to answer comfortably &amp;hellip;&amp;rdquo;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Paid news is no stranger to Goa, only this time it&#039;s drawing unfriendly attention. Those are excerpts from recorded conversations between Tulshidas Desai, marketing manager of OHeraldO (the Herald) and Goa-based journalist Mayabhushan Nagvenkar.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The journalist was pulling off a sting posing as Bernard Costa, a would-be candidate in the State&#039;s Assembly polls to be held early next year.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Sales pitch&lt;/em&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The Herald&#039;s marketing manager is making a sales pitch when the journalist calls up and asks how much it would cost to have an interview of himself dressed up as news. The Herald claims to be Goa&#039;s largest-circulated English daily.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;ldquo;Ya, but can you send me a quotation?&amp;rdquo; the journalist posing as a candidate asks Mr. Desai. &amp;ldquo;A rough quotation [of what it costs]?&amp;rdquo; Mr. Desai knows an ethical line is being crossed and is wary of leaving a trail. &amp;ldquo;This is like an editorial kind of thing, no,&amp;rdquo; he says. &amp;ldquo;I can&#039;t mention on the paper, you know &amp;hellip; .&amp;rdquo;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Money for interview&lt;/em&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
In the conversations, the marketing manager appears to confirm that Raymond D&#039;Sa [an aspiring candidate from Cortalim in south Goa] paid Rs. 2 lakh to get his &amp;lsquo;interview&#039; carried in the Herald of October 20, the morning of the conversation.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Mr. Nagvenkar: &amp;ldquo;So Raymond&#039;s interview was [for] two lakh [rupees].&amp;rdquo; Desai: &amp;ldquo;Ya, ya, ya, ya, ya &amp;hellip;&amp;rdquo; But &amp;ldquo;you are not going to say advertorial, [above the interview], no? asks the journalist. No, Mr. Desai [who first mentioned &amp;lsquo;advertorial&#039;] reassures him. It would be just like Raymond D&#039;Sa&#039;s interview. &amp;ldquo;Today how nothing is mentioned no? Like that only &amp;hellip; .&amp;rdquo; However, Mr. D&#039;Sa, when contacted by The Hindu , flatly denied having made any payment for the interview.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Since these audio recordings went public, all hell has broken loose. Except in Goa&#039;s media, which remains stoically silent on a scandal which broke just after the Election Commission of India handed out the first-ever verdict in Indian electoral history disqualifying a sitting legislator for improper accounts and indulging in &amp;ldquo;paid news.&amp;rdquo;
