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.
ContributeWe move our focus to the South of the Vindhyas this week as columnist T S Sudhir, Hyderabad-based journalist and author, joins us on this episode of NL Hafta. Tamil Nadu and Karnataka are at it again — the Cauvery dispute has escalated again, Andhra Pradesh chief minister Chandrababu Naidu accepted a special package instead of a special status from the Centre, while in Kerala, the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) and Communists are at loggerheads. We also discuss mixed reactions to Mother Teresa’s canonisation in India, ABP News plunging to new depths with #MinisterSexScandal (while targeting Newslaundry), separatists refusing to meet the all-party delegation and Navjot Singh Sidhu’s new front in Punjab — it’s a packed episode this week. Listen up as Abhinandan Sekhri, Anand Ranganathan and Deepanjana Pal discuss and dissect the week’s news. And we have a song dedicated to Rahul baba this time. Enjoy!
