Hafta 465: State of the media, wars and violence in 2023
The podcast where we discuss the news of the week.
Welcome to the final episode of NL Hafta for 2023!
This week, Newslaundry’s Abhinandan Sekhri, Manisha Pande, Anand Vardhan and Raman Kirpal are joined by Dhanya Rajendran, editor-in-chief of The News Minute.
The big topic is the state of the media in India over the past decade, including changes in news production and consumption. Manisha says people in power now prefer YouTubers over traditional media, which points to distrust in television news. Dhanya explains how changes in ownership affected news in southern India.
The panel also discusses 2023 as the year of conflict, from the Ukraine crisis to the Gaza war. How has violence evolved and why is outrage and anger about it important?
This and a lot more. Tune in!
