The Reporter TV-Kerala government tussle over social media posts
While the clash between the Kerala government and Malayalam news channel Reporter TV escalates, in Tamil Nadu the CMO is conducting performance reviews for ministers ahead of the expected cabinet reshuffle.
Welcome to this week’s Powertrip, a political newsletter curated exclusively for subscribers of The News Minute and Newslaundry. This week’s edition is by Shabbir Ahmed, Pooja Prasanna and Haritha Manav.
In this week’s edition, how did Malayalam news channel Reporter TV manage to evade content restrictions by Meta amid a quarrel with the Chief Minister?
In Tamil Nadu, some ministers may lose their positions after a performance assessment by the CMO.
Karnataka’s verification drive to identify suspected illegal immigrants is more commonly associated with BJP governments. So why did the Congress government initiate it and why has it now decided to step back?
Powertrip is a newsletter that senior political reporters of TNM put together every week.
