In this episode of NL Hafta, Newslaundry’s Abhinandan Sekhri, Raman Kirpal, Manisha Pande, and Mehraj D Lone are joined by Anand Vardhan and Shaoib Daniyal, associate editor at Scroll.
Abhinandan brings up Sonia Gandhi’s letter to the prime minister, focusing on her recommendation to scrap #governmentadvertising across all media. Shoiab asks if the press can be a “true watchdog of the government, if its financial pillars are dependent on government funding”. Raman says this recommendation will be the “death of the newspaper industry”.
They discuss #9Baje9Minute, #Covid19 in West Bengal, and more.
