It is no surprise that The Hindu ’s website has won the > Website of the Year (WOTY) India award for 2014 in the News and Information category (Feb.27). Site content is well balanced, both textually and visually, and, thankfully, is not overloaded with advertisements that come in the way of one enjoying undisturbed reading. Using the best in technology, The Hindu has seamlessly blended itself across all platforms, providing every category with accurate and exhaustive content. In the early days of the Internet there were fears that newspapers would become redundant. Thankfully, these have been allayed and there is a symbiosis between the print and the online editions.

As an ardent reader of The Hindu for decades, the report made me proud; it is almost as if it has been won by a family member. What is even more significant is that the selection has been very transparent and that The Hindu has earned this merit from the public, and not from a select few.
The Hindu is the most complete daily and maintains a balance between tradition and technology, bringing delight to its huge readership base across the globe, for both its print and online editions. I recollect how a few years ago, Khushwant Singh, the doyen of the literary world, had picked The Hindu as “the most readable daily in the world” from over a dozen morning newspapers that he used to read. I wish that the daily wins more such laurels in the years to come.
