Reporters Without Orders Ep 231: Ranveer Singh’s nude photoshoot, Subhash Chandra’s Rajya Sabha sojourn

In this episode, host Nidhi Suresh is joined by Newslaundry reporter Tanishka Sodhi and writer and journalist Aishwarya Subramanyam.

Aishwarya discusses her interview with actor Ranveer Singh on the set of his now-controversial nude photoshoot. Speaking about how interviewing styles have evolved, Aishwarya says, “Back in the day there was a process of observing the person for days before writing about them, now it’s all public relations and you hardly get a few minutes. I wanted to observe, talk and write to know a little more than what we have already seen so I sat down for his shoot.”

Tanishka talks about her report assessing media baron Subhash Chandra’s Rajya Sabha term, which ended early this month. “It was interesting to see him as a parliamentarian rather than a media person,” she says of the founder of Zee media empire, “and talk about some common issues in a different capacity.”

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