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 Ayush Tiwari and Basant Kumar in a discussion dedicated entirely to the Delhi riots and the recent charge sheets filed by the Delhi Police.
The conversation, in particular, revolves around Ayush and Basant’s recent report titled: Delhi riots: Inside the ‘Kattar Hindu’ WhatsApp group that planned, executed murders. The duo speaks to Snigdha about their approach when it comes to reporting on an issue like this. They also discuss the background of the members of the group, and how hatred towards the minority community was the common denominator that brought them together.
This and a lot more as they talk about what made news, what didn’t, and what shouldn’t have.
Tune in!
