This episode of Reporters Without Orders has Newslaundry correspondents Gaurav Sarkar, Ayush Tiwari and Basant Kumar discussing a range of topics with the host Snigdha Sharma.So, what was on their minds this week? The crisis in Indian journalism, that’s what. The last few months have seen several media outlets shut shop and dozens, if not hundreds, of journalists lose their jobs. That’s only half the story, though. What plagues Indian journalism runs deeper, to its fundamental work. Take for instance an article published by India Today ahead of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s birthday which, as Newslaundry showed, was a textbook example of How Not To Do Journalism.Thanks in no small part to the pearls of wisdom offered by Nirmala Sitharaman and Piyush Goyal, India’s dire economic situation dominated the news this week — until Modi’s birthday came along, that is. Our panel offers an overview of what exactly is wrong with the economy and how it affects the common man.If you dig sports, this episode offers insight into the new season of the UEFA Champions League.
