It is an interesting idea to spread the news of NE region of India across the globe. However, there is a need for further innovation and the news should not be as usual like a daily paper available in everyday market. I personally feel that your efforts should be put more on the issues which can really project the NE region particularly Assam in real perspective. You must be aware about the mindset of outsiders how they think about this region, an unsecured insurgent hit place in the globe. They usually find news on killings, extortions, sabotage, etc from this region. That mental block, the mental fixity need to be changed by spreading other news. Take a simple example, we really celebrate SARASWATI PUJA in such a manner no others in India celebrate but nobody ever have given a thought to propagate that in National media.
I sincerely hope you will put the things in real perspective.
With regards
