About Us
The Fourth Estate is defined in a dictionary as ‘The press, including journalists, newspaper writers, and photographers’. TFE was IITM’s campus magazine for the first decade of this century, bringing together the institute’s best literary talents.
“Yonder sits the Fourth Estate, and they are more important than them all.”
Thus spake Edmund Burke after all the guillotining and the bathing in blood that made up the better part of La Révolution française. Linguists opine that this was the moment when the phrase was coined.
The erstwhile TFE then evolved into its online avatar, The Fifth Estate, the student news body of IIT Madras.
“The potential and real influence of blogs on policy-shaping, and the impact they have already had on numerous facets of international politics, including elections, media reporting from zones of conflict, and corporate and congressional policies, have led us to claim that blogs deserve the title of the ‘fifth estate’”
writes philosopher, neuroscientist, geostrategist, and author Nayef Al-Rodhan. T5E brings to you the latest on-campus buzz and a forum to voice your opinions on everything from Shaastra to Sharavathi. You can send in articles, poems, short stories, cartoons, photographs, money, etc. to the editors themselves, to t5e.iitm [at] gmail.com.
Grab a copy of The IIT Madras Annual Magazine 2011-12, brought out for the first time in the institute’s history, from your hostel office!
