A reporters’ podcast about what made news and what shouldn’t have.
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 episode, host Snigdha Sharma is joined by Newslaundry’s Hameeda Syed, Ayush Tiwari and Basant Kumar.
The discussion kicks off with Hameeda’s report on a petition that sought the nationalisation of private hospitals and labs, until the pandemic subsides. The panel talks about Ayush’s report on the media layoffs with The Quint furloughing 45 of its staffers, and Basant’s report from Manesar, where migrant workers from Bihar and Uttar Pradesh were attacked by locals.
This and a lot more as they talk about what made news, what didn’t, and what shouldn’t have.
