Reporters Without Orders Reporters Without Orders Ep 241: #BoycottBollywood trends, Delhi education
This week, host Akanksha Kumar is joined by Pratyush Deep from Newslaundry and Kritika Goel, deputy editor at the Quint where she leads a fact-checking initiative.
Kritika explains her report on how #BoycottBollywood hashtags are closely linked to Facebook pages that were once part of the #JusticeforSSR campaign. “It’s very evident from the kind of activity we see online, the kind of activity we see on their pages, that they do subscribe to the right-wing ideology,” she says.
Pratyush then details his report on how nearly 200 children in a Delhi village were out of school, until a government official stepped in. He also talks about similar issues in remote areas.
This and a lot more as they talk about what made news, what didn’t, and what shouldn’t have.
Tune in.
