This week, host Tanishka Sodhi is joined by Newslaundry’s Prateek Goyal and Sumedha Mittal. The discussion begins with Prateek’s story on Sonu Mansuri, a 21-year-old law intern in Madhya Pradesh, who was accused of being a “PFI agent”  and spent 50 days in jail on cheating charges. Prateek recounts his interview with Sonu, in which she described her ordeal and opened up about the line of questioning during the interrogations. He delves into the timeline of events that led to her arrest and the impact of one-sided media coverage. “The media portrayed her as a ‘terrorist’, while all she was doing was her job as an intern and learning things,” Prateek says. He also spotlights how she was targeted because of her religious identity. The conversation then moves to Sumedha’s experience of reporting from poll-bound Karnataka and her understanding of electoral politics. She talks about the good and the bad of reporting on the high-stake elections in the southern state. “Language was the biggest hurdle,” she says, shedding light on how she overcame it. This and a lot more, Tune in! Timecodes00:00:00 - Introduction00:01:30 - Sonu Mansuri’s story00:10:50 - Karnataka Elections 202300:32:26 - RecommendationsRecommendationsPrateekViduthalai: Part 1SumedhaSubhash Chandra’s collapsing house of cardsTanishkaIs Therapy-Speak Making Us Selfish?Produced by Tehreem Roshan, recorded by Anil Kumar, and edited by Umrav Singh.

This week, host Akanksha Kumar is joined by Newslaundry’s Avdhesh Kumar. The discussion begins with Avdhesh’s report on the wrestlers’ protest at Delhi’s Jantar Mantar, and the late-night scuffle that broke out between the protesters and the Delhi police officials. In the conversation, Avdhesh reflects on his first-hand experience of covering the protest, also shedding light on the alarming prevalence of sexism and misogyny within the Indian wrestling landscape.Drawing parallels with the farmers protest that garnered worldwide attention, he says that the BJP government has repeatedly ignored voices of protest, and snubbed the concerns that deserve urgent attention.“Whether it’s the police or the authorities, their behaviour towards the protesters is as bad as it can be. This is not how you treat your heroes,” adds Avdhesh. This and a lot more, Tune in! Timecodes00:00:00 - Introduction00:01:02 - Wrestlers Protest00:23:08 - RecommendationsRecommendationsAvdhesh कैंसर और ज़िंदगी जीने की ज़िदAkankshaThe Marvelous Mrs. MaiselProduced by Tehreem Roshan, recorded by Anil Kumar, and edited by Saif Ali Ekram.  Hosted on Acast.

This week, host Basant Kumar is joined by The Quint’s reporter Himanshi Dahiya, founder of Main Media Tanzil Asif and senior journalist from ETV Bihar Umesh Pandey.  In view of the World Press Freedom Day, the panel discusses the state of media in India, and the challenges staring it. The conversation is stirred by an acknowledgement of the recent decline in India’s press freedom ranking and the government's subsequent denial on the subject. Himanshi takes us through her experiences as a mediaperson and emphasises that media spaces only have a faint presence of women, while men still dominate the landscape. “The male gaze and dominance are still pervasive in the media.” Tanzil shares his experience of doing hyper-local journalism, and its hazards in contrast with the mainstream media. He recounts the fears that accompany matters involving local representatives, who often pressure journalists. While Tanzil talks about the onslaught on press freedom, Umesh explains his circumstances as a local journalist in Bihar and how his ground reports led to the filing of FIRs against him. This and a lot more, Tune in! Timecodes00:00:00 - Introduction00:02:36 - Press Freedom 01:02:42 - RecommendationsRecommendationsHimanshiNCERT textbook revision: Why it happens every few years & what makes it controversialUmesh14 साल बाद भी 38 हजार घरों में नहीं पहुंचा शुद्ध गंगाजल, 2009 में ट्रीटमेंट प्लांट का हुआ था शिलान्यासTanzilबांग्ला भाषा का मतलब ‘घुसपैठ’ कैसे हो गया दैनिक जागरण?BasantDelhi riots: Inside the ‘Kattar Hindu’ WhatsApp group that planned, executed murdersUmar Khalid Arrested: What Delhi Riot Charge Sheets Say About HimNo Nation for Women: Journalist Priyanka Dubey on her searing reportage on rape in IndiaHow Varun Gandhi Silenced The SystemProduced by Tehreem Roshan, recorded by Anil Kumar, and edited by Umrav Singh.  Hosted on Acast.

In the conversation, Tanishka revisits her excursion of gathering credible, exhaustive information on Mr Chandra and how he refused to speak to her directly as it wasn’t a “completely positive story”. Tanishka goes on to talk about the aspects of Mr Chandra’s character that led to his rise and an eventual fall from grace. She also spotlights his ventures that contributed to his debacle. “He is ambitious and loves a new challenge, but his impatience is the key factor in his downfall,” she says. This and a lot more, Tune in! Timecodes00:00:00 - Introduction00:01:24 - Subhash Chandra’s Profile00:36:26 - RecommendationsRecommendationsTanishkaThe DiplomatWFI’s ‘sexual harassment panel’ flouts POSH Act, headed by a man instead of a womanAkankshaIndia takes a distressing retreat from democracyIndia’s democratic backslidingIn Madhya Pradesh, 3 Muslim Academics Face Criminal Cases Filed By Hindu Right, Backed By State GovtProduced by Tehreem Roshan, recorded by Anil Kumar, and edited by Umrav Singh.  Hosted on Acast.

This week, host Tanishka Sodhi is joined by Newslaundry’s Sumedha Mittal and Basant Kumar.Sumedha had interviewed journalists who witnessed the shooting of Atiq Ahmed and his brother in Prayagraj. They told her they still had to report on the story despite the horrors of what they went through. “I would have frozen and taken a backseat if a shootout took place in front of my eyes,” Sumedha says. “I would not have been able to report.”Basant’s story of the week was on how a cow was killed in Agra as part of a conspiracy to falsely implicate some Muslim men. “It would have been a big issue. There could have been riots in the area,” he says. “But because of the detailed and quick investigation by the police, no major incident took place.”Tune in! Timecodes00:00:00 - Introduction00:01:23 -  Cow slaughter in Agra00:14:04 - Atiq Ahmed shootout 00:25:27 - Recommendations RecommendationsSumedhaJubileeBasant Wah bhi koi desh hai maharajTanishka Sita sings the bluesProduced by P Madhu Kumar and Tehreem Roshan, recorded by Anil Kumar, and edited by Hasan Bilal.  Hosted on Acast.

This week, host Akanksha Kumar is joined by Newslaundry’s Sumedha Mittal. Sumedha’s recent story underlines the government’s hack of employing the CBSE to further Modi campaigns and widen the BJP’s voter base. She delves into how seeing a G20 logo on the admit cards of Class 10 and 12 CBSE students spiralled into a story idea. As she circled back to the years of 2013-14, she found that every time the Modi government released a campaign, the CBSE would plan an activity around it. “These schooling years are formative for the children. So, by pushing them to accept particular campaigns including the Modi campaigns, the schools are not allowing them to be critical at all,” says Sumedha. “As far as the government is concerned, Mr Modi has influenced his probable voters' mindset 10 years in advance, and that is very clever.” Tune in! Timecodes00:00:00 - Introduction00:00:45 - CBSE promoting Modi campaign00:25:27 - RecommendationsRecommendationsSumedhaBottle of LiesAkankshaWhy Men RapeHarlemProduced by Tehreem Roshan, recorded by Anil Kumar, and edited by Umrav Singh.  Hosted on Acast.

It is not a small transaction. It’s a question of lakhs of rupees,” Shivnarayan quotes Sharma as saying. The discussion then moves to Tanzil Asif’s report, which fact-checked a report on the front page of Dainik Jagran which claimed that Hindus have been migrating from Bihar’s Seemanchal region. Tanzil recalls most Hindus living in these villages were shocked at such claims and angry over the failure of legacy media to report on real issues.Tune in.Timecodes00:00:00 - Introduction00:02:16 - Dainik Jagran Investigation 00:26:40 - Brahmpuri communal posters00:41:00 - RecommendationsRecommendationsTanzilFarhaThe SwimmersShivnarayanTwitterati timesBasantThe hollow cult of Sidhu Moose Wala Keeda JadiProduced  by Tehreem Roshan, recorded by Anil Kumar, and edited by Samrendra K Dash and Satish Kumar.  Hosted on Acast.
