This week, host Akanksha Kumar is joined by Newslaundry’s Basant Kumar and Prateek Goel. 

Prateek begins by talking about his story on Disha Salian’s media trial, an incident that showed Indian news channels at their unethical worst, and maligned and devastated a family grappling with the loss of their daughter. 

Basant then talks about his report on how the professors recently recruited by the  Indian Institute of Mass Communication allegedly have links with the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh.

This, and a lot more, as they talk about what made news, what didn’t, and what shouldn’t have.

Tune in.
