Reporters Without Orders Reporters Without Orders Ep 250: Media layoffs, Delhi official's mysterious disappearance
It is an all-Newslaundry panel this week as Basant Kumar is joined by Ashwine Kumar Singh and Akanksha Kumar.
Ashwin talks about his story on layoffs in the news industry, specifically at Zee Media, and the reasons for it. He points to the role of India's weak labour laws and Big Tech in rendering media jobs precarious.
The discussion then moves to Akanksha's story about a missing DDA official. Akansha explains the chronology of events and the still unresolved mysteries. "Puzzles are solving but not forming a clear picture," she says.
This and a lot more as they talk about what made news, what didn’t, and what shouldn’t have.
Tune in.
