KUALA LUMPUR: In an era when most people skim headlines on social media, former journalist and editor Dr G. Manimaran still flips through printed pages – not one but 10 newspapers daily.
For the past 30 years, the 58-year-old media consultant and political analyst has spent over RM7,000 annually on print publications, a habit many might consider excessive in the digital age. But to him, it is a worthwhile investment in knowledge.
“I don’t see it as a waste of money. Some say you can read news online for free, but not everything is available on portals. Many insights, especially detailed reports or archives, are still best found in print,” he told Bernama when met at his home recently.
