Our 600 Tigers (aged 14-18 years) and Cubs (aged 10-14 years) wear their reporters’ badgeswith pride and swear <strong>by</strong> the hands-on training they receive while filing stories for TTIS. Over andabove the honor <strong>of</strong> belonging to an exclusive, members’ only club, the Tigers and Cubs alsoserve as the very real faces <strong>of</strong> the enterprising and achieving spirit TTIS seeks to inculcate in itssubscribers. Also, being highly motivated self-starters they are excellent brand ambassadors withpromising futures ahead – perhaps in print journalism!Hence in a way TTIS has not just encouraged newspaper reading, or promoted the idea <strong>of</strong>‘newspaper in education’ per se. TTIS has played a much bigger role. Of being a newspaper invocation – one that trains kids to pick up skills <strong>of</strong> the journalistic craft and make a possible careerout <strong>of</strong> it. Some Tigers and Cubs stand <strong>by</strong> the sound CV value <strong>of</strong> ‘reporting for TTIS’ in the ‘extracurricular’section <strong>of</strong> resumes!Dear TTIS,It’s been a highly enriching experience for me to be involved with this paper sinceClass IX, & then becoming a reporter. It feels great knowing that a lot <strong>of</strong> others willcome to know completely new type <strong>of</strong> paper, & hopefully, some day, others outsideKolkata will be involved in this paper.If one were to ask me what I feel towards TTIS, then I’ll say that this has been thepaper which has channelised my line <strong>of</strong> work. In contributing articles, reports, etc., myskills have improved. <strong>No</strong>w in school, students <strong>of</strong>ten come to me to edit their articles &stories. In working at cover stories, I have kept myself engaged in a sort <strong>of</strong> activity –going to places, collecting data, or even interviewing others for their views regarding aburning question. I have gained confidence through this.To end I’ll just say ‘ Congrats!’ However there’s one regret – the inadvertent errors aretoo much in number. This should be checked.Nilanko Mallik XIIB.D.
