Samir Jain, boldly decided to end the publication of ''The Illustrated Weekly of India'', ''Dharmyug'', and other magazines to focus on revitalisation of the newspapers. 〔( Supreme Being, How Samir Jain created the modern Indian newspaper industry, SAMANTH SUBRAMANIAN, 1 December 2012 )〕 The move was widely criticised, however Samir Jain was able to turn the fortunes of Times of India around. 〔(The Indian Media Business, Vanita Kohli, SAGE, 2006 p. 34 )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Illustrated Weekly of India」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
