#NLprimetime begins. NL team watches the news so you don't have to.

R Bharat has decided it's time to teach China a lesson. Soon some strategies shall be discussed.
Aaj Tak is filling us up on all the politics in Maharastra. Image
Times Now discussing Rahul Gandhi 'dumping Maharastra'. Context: that bizarre statement on not being decision-makers in the state. Seeing Jayanti Natrajan after a long time on TV though not as a spokesperson. She says she's very upset on how she was been treated by Rahul Gandhi. Image
R Bharat says: 'Ab tamboo leke bhaage ga Cheen'. Meaning China will run with its tent deployed along the LAC.

Just doesn't have that ring in Englisss. #NLprimetime Image
India Today discussing the reckless leadership of Bolsanaro in Brazil. An epidemiologist from University of Brasilia is talking about the challenges ahead for the country. Image
The idea to discuss Brazil is to get away from the 'tu-tu, main main' in India, anchor Rahul Kanwal says. #NLprimetime
Rajdeep Sardesai is interviewing BMC Commissioner. He says the city will have 'hundred thousand beds' by 15 June to tackle patient load. #NLprimetime Image
Times Now and Republic both doing news with #CongDumpsMaharastra and #RahulDumpsMaharashtra. Arnab's trusted aide Smita Prakash shall open the debate. #NLprimetime
Union I&B Minister Prakash Javadekar giving an interview to Zee News. Sudhir C and he are talking of some good impact of lockdown — pollution control, Ganga cleaning up etc. Image
Now they are talking about fake news.

Sudhir C asks how do we stop it? The minister says during Delhi riots they wrote to editors, owners and shareholders of publications that spread 'fake news' during the Delhi riots. #NLprimetime
Quite amazing that this☝️conversation is happening on Zee News. On that note, it's a wrap. Good night. See you next week on #NLprimetime.

"We aren’t reporting against the government but in favour of the public."

Wondering about @DainikBhaskar's 'uncharacteristic' coverage? @AshwineSingh & @tweets_prateekg spoke to editors & reporters to understand some of the newsroom thinking behind it.
newslaundry.com/2021/06/01/we-…
The shift to aggressive reporting can be attributed to scale of devastation/mishandling. Reporters & editors clearly see that "readers want the truth to be told". Others offered a branding explanation: “Our managing director says Bhaskar must always stand with public opinion."
Another thing to note is Bhaskar's entry into digital: “Bhaskar has injected a new zeal in its digital team in Uttar Pradesh. Our newspaper is not published in Uttar Pradesh, and this is an attempt to establish it via the digital route."

There are plenty of journalists in India working for Indian orgs who are reporting on the pandemic bravely/meticulously. Noida-based studio ≠ 'domestic' media. In fact, Rana Ayyub hasn't reported on the pandemic but is repeatedly called on as a talkinghead in international media
Even a pro-BJP channel like Aaj Tak does have reporters on the ground getting us important updates from the ground. It's another matter that anchors like Anjana et al are not using their material to question the government on primetime.
Rana Ayyub has become the go-to person of lazy international media panels for everything from farmers protest to the pandemic, often pedalling half-baked exaggerations without putting in the rigour of reporting that many other Indian journalists do.

"Our job is also to give voice to people who don’t have it. And at a lot of these crematoriums people are coming up to us and expressing their grief and anger.”

Indian & foreign press is reporting from crematoriums because THAT IS where the story is.
newslaundry.com/2021/04/27/why…
As deaths from Covid surged in New York last year, Reuters, Washington Post, CNN, New York Times, BBC, Telegraph showed drone footage of caskets being buried in mass graves. There were similar reports from graveyards in Brazil, Italy and the UK.

India isn’t being singled out.
“This is the truth. We are documenting the truth and bearing witness to it,” said a reporter for a British media organisation. “It is very easy to lament the coverage and blame the messenger and far more difficult to ask for accountability. But nobody is making things up...”

Big win for @newslaundry against an extremely brainless attempt at harassing @tweets_prateekg for doing his job. The story in question was about layoffs in Sakal Times & they took umbrage to us using their logo for a story that is ABOUT the group.
newslaundry.com/2021/04/21/no-…
Stories in question.
1) newslaundry.com/2020/03/27/the…
2) newslaundry.com/2020/06/11/the…
It would have been a “completely different matter” if the articles used Sakal’s trademark to “portray” Newslaundry as the Sakal Media Group, the court pointed out, but instead, “there was no suggestion that the said news portal itself was that of Sakal”.

"RSS can be slow, but we need to act fast as the time is running out for us.”

In Amta constituency of Howrah, BJP has fielded one of its vocal critics — Hindu Samhati president for whom the RSS is too centrist. Report on the organisation & its men.
newslaundry.com/2021/03/20/str…
The Hindu Samhati is home for pracharaks who have left the RSS fold. The organisation now attracts men who have formerly worked with mainstream political parties. Like Banti Khan who was born and brought up in 'Congress' culture. Image
“I attended Tapan Ghosh’s meeting of Hindu Samhati and really liked it,” Khan said. “My eyes opened up to how Muslims have captured our land, how Congress distorted history, and I joined the Samhita and now work with the BJP.”

.@ndtv is now showing a split-screen with visuals from farmer's protest. Rest of the channels remain on the DD feed.
NDTV's coverage is quite strange to watch. There's live commentary from the R-Day parade occupying most of the screen with visuals from ANI on what seems like tear gas gone off at the protest site. I am sure they have reporters on ground to cut live to?
What's the point of private news networks if everyone *has to* show the state broadcaster. People who want to see the parade can go to DD. Private news networks should be able to show reports along with R-Day parade. Especially when there's lathicharge happening in Delhi!
