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.
ContributeThis is NL Hafta Extra – where the team discusses what we couldn’t in the main episode. Mihir Sharma, opinion editor at Business Standard, and the Newslaundry team discuss Amartya Sen’s response to Tavleen Singh and Pratap Bhanu Mehta’s columns about the Nalanda University saga. Then we weigh in on whether N R Narayana Murthy is justified when he says “there has not been a single invention from India in the last 60 years”. And finally, is it okay to eat dog meat?
