Stance and editorial opinion [edit]

Mint's editorial or "Views" page emphasizes free people, free economies and free societies.[1] Its editorial pages broadly support economic liberalization and an unfettered economy but provide for some space for social programs that tackle especially grievous inequity.[2] It has taken an especially strong position on national security and terrorism issues.

Mint carries a short editorial piece on the front page titled "Quick Edit" while the longer opinion pieces titled "Our View" and guest opinion pieces titled "My view" or "Their Views" are carried in the back pages.

Style [edit]

The design of the Mint newspaper is geared towards presenting business and financial information in a compact format. The format itself was designed by Mario Garcia, who has also been associated with the re-design of the Wall Street Journal.
