A fairly second-rate paper. I've found poor writing in its issues, and now have noticed that the first page always appears to be a cheesy ad--not exactly the mark of a quality newspaper.
In addition, the India Journal now advertises that any subscription comes with a subscription to the Los Angeles Times Sunday edition. However, in the 8-10 weeks I have had my subscription, I have only received the LA Times on a Sunday, without having to call for a replacement paper, twice. I then found that the reason for this success in receiving the paper was that India Journal had somehow signed me up for a second subscription to the LA Times, for which I was billed $36 by the LA times (for only a few months of service). Once the billing problem and duplicate subscription were cleared up, I started having problems with proper receipt of the paper yet again.
Most recently, I have failed to receive the paper multiple Sundays in a row, and this week, have the added inconvenience of not even getting a replacement paper, and having to repeatedly speak to the ineffectual yet verbose people in the newspaper's customer service call center. So, to sum it up, after signing up for my India Journal subscription, I receive a weekly rag that appears to be a complete waste of paper, and a weekly frustrating experience trying to get my promised LA Times. read more
