Reporters Without Orders Ep 107: Coronavirus threat, Delhi carnage, and more

Snigdha Sharma is joined by Hameeda Syed, Basant Kumar and Ayan Sharma of Newslaundry. They discuss Hameeda’s report on how a peaceful protest against the citizenship law at Khureji, one of the “other Shaheen Baghs of Delhi”, was shut down by the police after the Delhi carnage started. They also talk about Basant’s report on how slum residents of Ganga Vihar, which was burnt down during the Delhi carnage, are not being allowed to rebuild their homes. Ayan shares the details of his story from the Delhi airport, where coronavirus screening led to over 500 flyers being stranded for up to nine hours.

This and a lot more as they talk about what made news, what didn’t, and what shouldn’t have.
