Citizen Tabloid Journalism?
Further evidence of Rediff's increasing TOI-ness, their new feature that encourages passers-by to click photographs of "celebrities" and send them to Rediff. "So if you encounter/meet/see film or television personalities one of these days and photograph them, why don't you scan the photographs and mail the pictures to us?" goes their pitch.What next? Dust for fingerprints of your favourite cricketer from a metallic surface of your choice and send it to us?
