KOCHI: Quiet, mild-mannered and unpretentious. Satish Babu, the special correspondent of The New Indian Express in Palakkad, who passed away on Monday following severe dengue, was known for his unwavering commitment to the profession. Satish began his career in the late 1980s as a proofreader at the Kochi desk, before rising through the ranks to become a sub-editor and later as reporter in the Kochi bureau. He moved to Kollam as the district reporter and later shifted base to Palakkad, where he worked for more than three decades. Fellow journalists in Palakkad remember Satish as always helpful, providing them liberally with information and contacts.
