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, Garima Chitkara, a freelance journalist covering Asian financial markets, banking and regulation, joins us to discuss top ten names on the RBI defaulters list accessed by newslaundry. Garima and our very own Manisha Pande share their experience of working on this list. Why the Life Insurance Corporation’s name on the list of lenders is a big deal? Is Jawaharlal Nehru University a den of organised sex racket’? We ask Anand Ranganathan. Is Krishna Godavari basin scam really a scam, as claimed by Jairam Ramesh, or just a failed project? For political parties kya scam hi scam ko kaat-ta hai? Listen up and enjoy.
