In this episode, host Nidhi Suresh is joined by Newslaundry reporters Ayush Tiwari and Basant Kumar. 


They discuss Ayush’s report on billionaire industrialist Mukesh Ambani’s investment in TV news channel News Nation. “Only reason people know about it is because at one point Deepak Chaurasia was a primetime anchor on the channel and all he used to do was spread fake news and hate,” Ayush says of the channel. “Out of all the media houses, why News Nation? This is the biggest question and we are still looking for answers.”


Basant talks about his report on TV news channels spinning tales about a video from Siwan, Bihar, which shows a young man raising awareness about bootlegging. The young man was arrested after ABP, Prabhat Khabar and News18 falsely accused him of selling alcohol.


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


Tune in.
