Why is the daily newspaper The Hindu called as Indias National Newspaper?
The publisher of “The Hindu” uses the phrase “India’s National Newspaper” just below the newspaper’s title as an alternative name. The name does not appear to be copyrighted. The name is not a precise statement of fact, but rather in the nature of a CATCH PHRASE to be used as an identifier. Perhaps a useful analogy is the publication of the following phrase next to title “The New York Times”: “All the News That’s Fit to Print.” That banner is unofficial, but successful in drawing attention to the newspaper and its supplements and other publications.
