[@aishwaryapuranik7039]

Speaking about state of journalism without talking about the low pay-scale, long hours, poor work conditions among other workplace "hazards" seems futile. I would appreciate it if the senior journalists could talk about that too. Let the people know what the job actually entail.

You should be thankful you aren't jailed or harassed by police just like WB government does to independent media and Whistleblowers. Forget BJP, the Communists more target WB government than them. It's actually state government which can be more destructive to democracy due to law & order being under it except New Delhi . Like we see currently in WB, saw in Lalu's Bihar, Akhilesh's UP. Posing threat & secessionism to Internal security like Khalid is a different option though.

Newslaundry is a type of newschannel who was frustrated to see the nonsense done by nonsense media who were not showing ground report, so newslaundry started to do nonsense talk about other nonsense medias instead of talking about ground realities 😂

[@Lathi33]

​@@P1997Dutta "A journalist should question those in power" Why? So anything's that's done by those not in power is fair game? You have a very weird point of view i guess. "Power" does not only mean govt label. I atleast hope you understand that. Also India is a sort of federal state. So every state has more or less autonomy in most cases. So why should you be fixated on centre? You should also be critical abt situations in karnataka etc right? Like how they dropped charges on 2020 islamic riot terrorists? Didn't see any news. Didn't see them reporting facts on sambhal. I didn't see them reporting abt sambhal mosque being an asi property and how mu.slims there illegally built structures there and invaded it. Didn't see reports on criticising actions by mu.slims who attacked court ordered survey team with stones and guns. All i saw was bashing hinduthwa gang and mandir-masjid. Yes. You must bash it. But after turing a blind eye on violence by one group, you lose the moral high ground mate. Didn't see them criticising rahul gandhi and opposition for twisting amit shah' s speech to create a ruckus like how bjp twisted the shakthi remark by rahul. I don't have an agenda. So i see both of these communal groups twisting each others words as a problem. Don't talk to me abt newslaundry being non-partisan. They clearly has an agenda. And they like most others seems to think siding with isl.amists is somehow secular and is the counter to resisting hinduthwa. Yoyr double standards and Hypocrisy only helps hinduthwa.

I am really wonderstruck , how people who were once hand in glove with the powers that be , and dyed in the narrative of their times , are now uncomfortable when the tide of time is changing . Amazed that they did not realize change is the only constant . In a milieu when nepotism was ruling the roost and arenas that had the potential of money and growth were a reserve of few families, they were comfortable because they had a seat at the table. With economy opening up and Indians now showing their talent in many areas and challenging the notions of those who were operating by virtue of their contacts , off course erstwhile elites are finding it difficult to maintain their primacy in august circles . To add to their woes , there is a PM that does not give legitimacy to Lutyen cliques . So off course , people who never found their place under the sun on their own merit , will find it challenging . To couch that in morality and have a sympathetic ear in someone who was also flourishing under a banyan tree , following a private political agenda when she was at the helm in NDTV , I could predict how the conversation will go between these two people. May god give them strength for a bumpy ride , since times are changing. It is not the road , it is their read of times.

Not a single good journalist remains unbiased, the Best example is Barkha herself, I admire her for how talented she is, her communication skills. she could have been the best journalist of this country but her integrity couldn't remained intact as afterall she was part of a news channels which somebody funded and controlled the narrative. Barkha Dutt was once the role model for aspiring journalist but soon people knew her ... her power game, her left liberal ideology, deliberately cancelling and demoralising upper caste where she herself is an upper caste, appeasing muslim minority ( however did only the convenient reporting where ever it suited her for her own good) The damage she has done to this country is unforgivable. I don't think any journalist/reporter is as skilled & talented as Barkha but she is still a hypocrite who propagates Opposition agenda these days I have no good opinion of BJP as well.. BJP is equally culprit for the downfall of ethical journalism, they have currupted a set of group for their own good. Uper wala hi bachaye is Desh ko aur iski patrakarita ko
