Many of us spend a lot of time getting vexed about shouty anchors and the "state of journalism in India". This week it hit me - the state of journalism in India is superb. What outstanding journalists we have - I feel so lucky I get to read their reporting. Here are three:
Here's @rohini_mohan's truly outstanding expose of the sham trials going on inside the Foreigner Tribunals in Assam. There's investigation, data, reporting. What a stupendous piece of journalism vice.com/en_in/article/…
@rohini_mohan Here's @psychia90's outstanding Humans of Assam series on the people being declared foreigners, and the awful psychological toll it is taking scroll.in/tag/Humans%20o… He also sounded the early warning on how the tribunals were functioning scroll.in/article/927025…
@rohini_mohan @psychia90 And here is a beautiful, lyrical piece by @toramatix on what the xenophobia Assam is currently wracked by is producing from its poets. What a superb idea! indianexpress.com/article/expres…
@rohini_mohan @psychia90 @toramatix These are three young reporters writing about Assam *alone* whose journalism struck me just *this week*. We're doing fine. Indian journalism is doing fine. I'm not wasting another moment on bad journalism because there is outstanding stuff right here to read instead.
