8. Non-English Titles and Future Strategies?
Quite a few new non-English newspapers have started in the past twenty years.
In California prominent Languages include: Panjabi in Gurmukhi script, Hindi, Urdu and Tamil.
Gurmukhi Panjabi papers important for long established Sikh immigrant community and reflect, among other things, debates about Khalistan.
Electronic back-files instead of paper copies?
