TV Newsance Rewind: Jammu and Kashmir, Article 370, and the media circus

#article370 #jammukashmir
In this special episode of Newsance, we look back at the abrogation of Article 370 in 2019 and the stark difference between the media spectacle and the reality on ground zero. Jammu and Kashmir is headed for an assembly poll for the first time since the abrogation.
We revisit the high praise for the move by our usual suspects and TV news reporters on the empty streets of Kashmir, claiming normalcy. The mainstream media toed the government line while the ground reality remained starkly different: Kashmir was under a severe lockdown with a communication blackout. The news outlets that reported from ground zero told the story of locals describing the situation as a living nightmare.
