A man who built his reputation entirely on digital media walked into a debate, and argued that mainstream media is NOT dying.
At the Delhi Union, @TheDeshBhakt chose the side nobody expected.
Here's the case he built: https://t.co/QD6adC1KDu
"...what that convergence has also done is it has brought content onto this one indistinguishable glop of khichdi."
@AbhinandanSekhr on the reality of digital media at the Delhi Union media debate.
वाद-विवाद लोकतंत्र की अनिवार्य शर्त है। पक्ष-विपक्ष के बीच चर्चा होगी तभी आम आदमी को सत्य तक पहुंचने का मार्ग मिलेगा। डॉ लोहिया वाद-विवाद प्रतियोगिता को बहुत पसंद करते थे।
इस दृष्टिकोण को दृष्टिगत रखते हुए मैंने इस कार्यक्रम का निमंत्रण तुरंत स्वीकार कर लिया। देखते हैं चर्चा कैसी रहती है।
"We want news free. And that was perpetuated by... Doordarshan. Because that was the first national platform started by Indira Gandhi for her political purposes."
@PankajPachauri at the Delhi Union media debate.
Thoroughly enjoyed the Chatham House-style dialogue hosted by @TheDelhiUnion last evening. Such spaces that encourage honest disagreement, thoughtful listening, and intellectual curiosity are more important than ever.
A special congratulations to the young team behind this initiative. Creating platforms for open dialogue on important issues requires courage, maturity, and a genuine commitment to democratic discourse. Their effort is a reminder that meaningful conversations can bridge differences and generate new ideas.
फ़ोन नहीं, बिल्कुल बेधड़क बातचीत। गवर्नेंस, बिज़नेस और इंडस्ट्री के राज़ @bbhavyabishnoi ने चुने हुए दर्शकों को मंत्रमुग्ध कर दिया। ऐसी ही और बेहतरीन चर्चाओं के लिए @thedelhiunion को फ़ॉलो करें, और आरक्षण पर हमारे आने वाले डिबेट के लिए साइन अप करें!

"We still have a newspaper which for years has been a reference newspaper in our country."
@VinodSharmaView with high praise for The Hindu at our media debate!
"There was a time when you would buy a newspaper to read the comments of the editor... the power of the editor was supreme."

"How is independent, non-Godi media doing well? It is financially struggling!"
