Nandhu Sundaram’s Summary
After passing out of Asian College of Journalism, Chennai, I was correspondent for a programme called South File that appeared on DD News. I filed mostly political stories. My stories usually run up to six to eight minutes and was about the most important story of the last three days. The programme was a bi-weekly.
Later, I moved to Sun TV where I gained experience in running a live news bulletin. I also translated from Tamil to English the weekly special report that typically ran for 10 minutes.
At the Times of India, Hyderabad, I was at the state desk with occasional stints at the national and city desks.
When the tsunami of December 2004, I was at The New Indian Express in Chennai where I worked on the desk that covered the disaster. Later, I was also put in charge of the Vellore edition. (Vellore is a small town in Northern Tamil Nadu).
At Deccan Chronicle, my extended run on the city desk continued for a while until I was moved to front page and subsequently to a purely editing position
