India’s journey into journalism began over two centuries ago, with the launch of its first newspaper. In this episode, we take you back to the year 1780, when Hicky's Bengal Gazette made its debut in colonial Calcutta. As a pioneer of free speech and a voice for the people, this publication not only reported the news but also challenged the powerful. Join us as we explore the origins of Indian journalism and the legacy it left behind. 
Listen to the first episode of media talkies done by Mrs. Nelvi Alan David (Assistant Professor Viscom)
