Media Reviews

Saxena imparts the knowledge in an impressive fashion, allowing the neophyte who wants to be initiated into the art of writing arresting headlines, to get a better understanding of the craft that adds eyeballs to every news item. Saxena explains in very readable fashion the jargon of headlines, the language of headlines in the glossary.... Headline Writing...is concentrated on delivering a product that is easy to understand, reflects on native systems and puts forth an understanding that is entirely Indian and therefore more approachable.
