The Calcutta Times is a free daily supplement of The Times of India Calcutta edition, only in Calcutta city. The Times of India - Wikipedia /**/ @import /skins-1. ... This article is on Calcutta/Kolkata, the city. ... This article is on Calcutta/Kolkata, the city. ...

It covers celebrity gossip and dos, movies and other stuff of local interest, leaving the main paper to cover national news.

The Calcutta TimesItalic text is an important publishing phenomenon because it proves that neither good journalism nor even a basic command of the language (in this case, English) is required to increase sales. It is now the instrument of a "media in society" study that will inter alia study how many people across consumer categories will pay to see their own names in print, as well as how many people will pay for their names to be seen in print by other people.

Some Netizens have also proposed that the Calcutta Times be linked to the OED web-site as an example of antithesis in the dialectical sense, i.e., a vivid example of how English should NOT be written
