Nepe, unfortunately, I am a mere consumer of news from ALL sources: private newspapers, newsletters, blogs, podcasts, text messages, TV, radio and what not. As such, I am NOT one of those purists who sit on Nepal's Pulitzer-prize equivalent Selection Committee and decide for all what "quality" is and what it is not. So, sorry, I remain unqualified to comment on the "quality" of researcher's Mark Turin's that comment in one of Nepal's agenda-setting newspaper The Nepali Times. Rather than bask in my "article quality-spotting" ability (which I don't have at a professional level), I'd let readers here decide what they make of the story by starting this conversation.
