Pakistan Opinion Blog

Misses an editorial voice

Entries may be a little edited for clarity or brevity. The views expressed do not necessarily reflect those of PakPositive.

This is a response to your ill incommunicado appeal. First of all, you should have post-centric comments. Many a times, I would like to say something, (ok, snarky but that is excusable) but it is not possible.

Secondly, your site, as valuable as it is, misses an editorial voice. Perhaps you should interject a post here or there to start a conversation with your readers.

In any case, good site. Keep it up.

PakPositive: Yes, I think I was not very clear with my appeal. I did not mean interactive comments when I said letters, as I do not wish to entertain parallel debates, which may lead to a loose forumized feel for this blog. As for an editorial voice, I am trying to restrict my opinions to ‘letters’ and ‘positorial’ pages, thus trying to keep the main page unobtrusive and reflective of news only, without any pre-emptive opinions.

What I did mean, however, was to invite readers’ independent reflections, experiences or letters on various subjects, not necessarily related to any posted news item, and which are considered positive in nature, (like some of the letters below, I think).
