Rant Alert: I don't know #tanushreepandey personally but when I saw the work she did, in the dead of the night, in the circumstances she was in, I realised how she actually risked her life. #Hathras 1/n
As a woman reporter who has been on the field, I can assure people on Twitter that what #tanushreepandey did took a LOT of guts and commitment. I saw a few mins of two channels I have worked for, and saw how they were attacking Tanushree for ‘coaching’ the family. #Hathras 2/n
I can assure the non-journalists here that if audio tapes of journalists, particularly most on these two channels, it will shock and disgust any human. What #tanushreepandey was doing is coaxing. #Hathras 3/n
Many people I know complain about the loud, boorish coverage of the #drugcase being probed by #NCB. We have written several articles on the subject without the lies, hearsay and mind-numbing nonsense. Do read and share the thread. Will keep adding as we write more. @thenewsminute
