NL Hafta – Episode 73: From #Rexit to #Brexit: What will hurt more?
[freenews]
What will be more damaging? Rexit or Brexit? Why is BJP not able to control Swamy? Is it ok for politicians to block certain media houses? What forced Aveek Sarkar to resign? Ashok Malik, an accomplished columnist, joins us for this episode of Hafta to discuss these issues. The team also discusses the recently-announced FDI in defence. Did FDI in defence get less coverage than Rexit? We also discuss why no channel other than India Today is talking about Essar tapes. And finally, pros and cons of access journalism. We have a song too, this time, dedicated to Bill Maher.
