Newslaundry Podcast

This week on NL Hafta, journalist and author Rahul Pandita talks about the condition of scribes in Bastar and the recent arrest of a reporter, Prabhat Singh. We talk about state intimidation in Chhattisgarh and what it means to be a stringer there. Pandita also talks about why being called a Kashmiri Pandit has more resonance for him than being called a Kashmiri Hindu. Moving on, we discuss the image of the Jet Airways flight attendant that has become the symbol of the Brussels blasts. Was it ethical for the media to publish the picture? We also look into what turned Microsoft's AI bot, Tay, into a racist, holocaust denier. And, finally, we suggest some good reads we came across over the week.For reference links visit www.newslaundry.comProduced by Kartik Nijhawan See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
