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.

Sachin Kalbag, former editor of Mid Day and currently working on launching The Hindus’s Mumbai edition, joins us for this episode of NL Hafta. Kalbag tells us about his plans to customise the newspaper to cater to Mubai’s voracious appetite for “entertainment” and yet staying true to The Hindu’s core values of good journalism. We also debate whether Svetlana Alexievich, the first person to be awarded the Nobel for literature, got the award for her body of work or for her politics.  Then we discuss why politicians would never say anything that would antagonize their core support base. Also: the never-ending Delhi versus Mumbai debate, spokespersons going against their party positions and more.
