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.
ContributeIn this session, author and columnist Amit Varma is in conversation with Govindraj Ethiraj, journalist and founder of IndiaSpend and BOOM, social commentator, advertising and marketing professional Santosh Desai, co-founder of AltNews Pratik Sinha, clinical psychiatrist Dr Alok Sarin, and Newslaundry’s Manisha Pande. They discuss the appeal of fake news and why it is more readily accepted than the truth.
General elections are around the corner, and Newslaundry and The News Minute have ambitious plans together to focus on the issues that really matter to the voter.
