Anyone born in the 1960s or 1970s would remember the first youth magazine of India, Junior Statesmen (also called JS magazine). Today, we have the privilege to welcome the man behind the launch of the magazine, Mr. Jug Suraiya.
Jug Suraiya is a well-known journalist, writer, columnist, cartoonist and public speaker. He is the former editor of The Times of India. He has written for several publications and has published 15 books. In 2021, he was honoured with a Knighthood by the President of the Italian Republic.
In the conversation, Jug tells us that journalism has seen dramatic change over the past few decades. Earlier, when Jug joined the profession, the editors used to speak down to the readers like the editors have a better knowledge on the subject. Jug tells us this pattern has now changed to good.
