Got to learn nuances of data, investigative journalism. @nit_set made the learning engaging, fun and obviously thought provoking. Thank you @cfa_ind for giving me the opportunity to be part of this learning experience.

[Md Shadan Ayaz @Jahan_Panaa]

As a young journalist you must read The Reporters' Collective work. The whole team was with us at @cfa_ind workshop for 3 days, it was refreshing to learn the nuances of storytelling, data & much more. @nit_set is a cool dude who will ask you to rethink what you claim as a journo

[Nitin Sethi @nit_set]

This was super fun. Thank you @cfa_ind for bringing us together. The cohort showed how journalists are hungry to learn and do more in India even in this tough environment. 👇

[Abhishek Angad @abhishekangad]

Stories, story-telling, and fragments of stories behind a story. Three days well spent in New Delhi in a data workshop by @nit_set @cfa_ind . What intrigued me was the simplicity with which @Howindialives' Avinash Singh narrated the data visualisation stories without any clutter

[Cherylann Mollan @cherylmollan]

We have faced intimidation, threats, lawsuits and censorship. Above all, ensuring we raise the money month-on-month to keep our newsroom running has remained a major challenge. 2/3

2. In this report we go beyond the headlines in Sijimali to show how the Odisha government intervened to expedite clearances for Vedanta’s road to the mine. While the Union environment ministry questioned Odisha’s actions, they rubber stamped them anyway.

[the reporters' collective @reporters_co]

How Odisha govt bypassed the law for a road project & facilitated the route for Vedanta to mine bauxite. All in the name of helping the tribal community.

3/3. When oil prices tanked at the onset of the pandemic, at one point briefly falling to almost 20 dollars a barrel – the government did not pass on any benefits to the people. It raised its taxes on fuel to a record high to keep the final prices as high as before. Now, it’s breaking its own records. A litre of petrol cost 115 rupees in Hyderabad this morning. The other big cities, just a few bucks behind, will catch up.

Feels like a new tax on ordinary people every 2-3 days. But the Billionaire Brotherhood stands tall. They haven’t paid a paisa in wealth tax since we abolished that anachronism in 2016. All Hail the Big Boys.

[P. Sainath @PSainath_org]

2/3. The government has raised petrol prices four times in 9 days. It earlier raised the price of 14.2 kg LPG cylinders commonly used in millions of households, by Rs. 60. And before that the cost of the 19 kg (commercial) cylinder used by countless thousands of dhabbas, small eateries and tea stalls, by Rs. 993. Many workers have returned or are even now returning to Bihar and UP unable to cope with the soaring costs of food in the far-off cities they serve as migrant labourers. In some places, even the midday meal – the one nutritious meal millions of poor Indian kids get in a day – is shaky. With price hikes in fertilizer in the offing, and all its accompanying and cascading effects, the worst is yet to come.

[P. Sainath @PSainath_org]

1/3. They’re back! India’s 224 billionaires have recovered to cross the $1 trillion-mark in terms of cumulative net worth. Heartening to learn from the Forbes live list that as of May 27, all our beloved billionaires have shrugged off the ill-effects of the annoying war in West Asia. That conflict briefly pulled India’s Billi Brotherhood down to a humiliating 980-billion dollar rung. Now they’ve bounced back. Could it be that the austerity of others feeds into the opulence of the Brothers?

With a little bit of help from their friends, the Brotherhood have returned to an honourable cumulative worth of $1011 billion, or just over a trillion dollars. A saga of stunning endurance, and a demo of how to keep raking it in when most other Indians reel under repeated blows and show no spark of resistance.

[Sushant Singh @SushantSin]

The MSMEs are worst affected. Everything is made out of crude, it seems.

[Tax The Top India @TaxTheTopIndia]

So our super rich are earning super profots, refusing to share the same by hiking wages and also refusing to invest in India while they continue to put on a show of "patriotism".
