Cue taken from Diwali issues’ success
PUNE:
Taking a cue from the special Diwali issues which make a turnover of crores of
rupees in the Marathi publication industry every year, some Christian magazines and mediapersons in
Pune and other parts of the State have now started publishing Christmas special
issues, which are getting a good response.
City-based 'Dnyanodaya,' a monthly which is being published since 1842
and is the oldest Marathi periodical, has been publishing a Christmas special
issue for the past few years. The issue edited by Ashok Angre has special
articles related to the Christmas festival. Another Christian monthly 'Niropya,'
published since 1903 and edited by Fr
Joe Gaikwad from Snehasadan here, has also brought out its 72-page Christmas
special.
'Suvarta', a Catholic Marathi monthly published since the
past few decades from Vasai in Thane district too has come out with a special
Christmas issue.
'Marathi Power' weekly which has completed two years of publication
released its December 17 issue as the
Christmas special issue.
The weekly is edited by senior journalist John Gajbhiv. The 154-page
special issue had Pune Bishop Thomas Dabre
as its guest editor. Gajbhiv said
that the special issue has generated more revenue as compared to last year. The
issue has articles by Christian literates Fr Francis D'Britto, Dr Cecilia
Carvalho. Sunil Shyamsundar Adhav and Dr Subhash Patil.
‘Alaukik’ is another Christmas issue published for the first time this
year. The 154-page issue too has several colour pages and articles by Mrudula Ghodke, head of Marathi news division
of Delhi All India Radio station, and an interview of comedian Johny Liver. The issue is edited and published by Akash
Dayanand Thombre.
