I agree that there is a vaccum here for a good media which can entice the content hungary educated class of Dehradun. ...and ya, Doon Plus going biweekly might be a good news which only time will tell.

We read Hindustan Times which gives one full page on Uttranchal every day and cover most of the important news of Dehradun. News in late city edition is one day old. The news we get in Amar Ujala or Danik Jagran same day will appear in HT next day. There is no english daily from Dehradun even though the city and its readers have grown many folds in past two to three years and continue to grow each day. If Doon plus is becoming Biweekly, it's a good news. I hope it gives more coverage to local news. Any english daily from Doon will sweep all the readers to its fold if it is content rich.

You are also right in that Doon Plus was thin on local content (some articles were very good, while others more gossipy in nature), and mainly an advertising vehicle. Perhaps, this will make room for Garhwal Post which remains the only daily English language paper in the entire state (I think, could be wrong). Also, Hindustan Times and Indian Express has some great reporters covering UK but these sadly don't make it to the web edition. That is indeed a surprising announcement.
