Newslaundry Podcast

Kushan Mitra, Managing Editor of The Pioneer, joins the Newslaundry team as we speak about the Vyapam scam – and the media coverage surrounding it. We also share some personal stories about risks and threats we have faced during reporting assignments. Then we discuss whether the media, both traditional and social, has been unfair to Hema Malini, or if she indeed deserves the criticism she has been subjected to over the last few days. Finally, we talk about the FTII deadlock, Gajendra Singh, and if the media has been unduly charitable to Amartya Sen.Produced by Kartik Nijhawan See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
