This week, host Ayush Tiwari is joined by Newslaundry reporters Ashwine Kumar Singh and Aditi Agarwal.
Aditi discusses her report on the Wire versus Meta feud and explains what it was all about, what was at stake and went wrong for the Indian news website. Speaking about her experience reporting this story, Aditi says, “It’s very difficult as a tech reporter to come up with stories as major tech giants are international. And, if something like this happens, It gets harder for people from outside to believe us in giving further statements.”
They also talk about Ashwine’s report on the alleged role of TV news channel India Ahead and Telugu daily Andhra Prabha in the "Delhi liquor policy scam".
This and a lot more as they talk about what made news, what didn’t, and what shouldn’t have.
Tune in.
