The media must be free and fair, uninfluenced by corporate or state interests. That's why you, the public, need to pay to keep news free.
ContributeThe Newslaundry team – and we are in full strength this time – discusses Lalit Modi, his love for emojis, and his never ending revelations. Then, we talk about Outlook’s “eye candy” piece and whether it warranted legal action. We also discuss if the hijab can be a “feminist statement” as some have recently claimed in the much talked about Twitter debate initiated by the feminist handle Genderlog. Finally, the team weighs in on The Hindu’s story about skewed caste representation in Bollywood.
General elections are around the corner, and Newslaundry and The News Minute have ambitious plans together to focus on the issues that really matter to the voter.
