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 week on NL Hafta, Manu Joseph, former editor of Open magazine, joins us we discuss Bhupendra Chaubey’s interview of Sunny Leone. This hasn’t been a good week for journalists: former NDTV and Tehelka scribe Revati Laul was attacked in Ahmedabad; Siddharth Varadarajan was held hostage by ABVP members at Allahabad University. Varadarajan also joins us on the phone to discuss what happened. And finally: Rohith Vemula’s suicide, the media coverage and more.
