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 week’s episode, host Snigdha Sharma is joined by Meghnad S and Veena Nair of Newlaundry and Amit Bharadwaj, an independent journalist. Snigdha, Veena, Meghnad, and Amit discuss the future of the protests against the citizenship law, who gets to lead a movement, and killings of protesters in Uttar Pradesh. Meghnad elaborates on the discrepancies in Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s previous statements on the National Register of Citizens. He also breaks down the complicated procedure and heavy jargon surrounding the NRC, NPR, and census. Amit talks about the Jharkhand election, which he covered extensively.
This and a lot more as they talk about what made news, what didn’t, and what absolutely shouldn’t have. Tune in!
