This issue of Outlookindia stands against the dangerous silencing of voices. Poetry must be brought before the general public. In a world of controlled speech and linear narratives, poetry offers the scope that we get affected, that we feel.

. @Article14live is perhaps the only other indie newsroom focused on fresh reporting and deep-dive reporting. It does vital and consistent reporting at a grim time for journalism. If you value good reportage (you must), support our friends at Article14. 👇

Editor here, nope. Everyone in this field works unbelievably hard.

Staff journalists often work 12-14 hours a day. I’ve slept in newsrooms for the past 7 years

"No one is as vulnerable as a dictator. It’s counterintuitive but dictators have so much more to fear from critics because their power is illegitimate, and they are surrounded by people who know that. They fear these people."

Even by the standards of a country ranking 157 of 180 nations in the World Press Freedom Index, the reaction of the authorities to the ‘Cockroach Janata Party’ is beyond extraordinary. The public response to that imaginative prank should have signalled to them a deep discontent, even distress, among young people. Instead, as The Indian Express reported, it was framed as jeopardising the country’s ‘national security’ and ‘posing a threat to the sovereignty of India.’ Decades ago, the Malaysian lawyer and poet Cecil Rajendra wrote this brilliant poem that captures the idiocy of it better than any pompous editorialising could (not that our ‘mainstream’ media would dare do even that much).

The theatre of the privileged: can’t cook, can’t clean, can’t manage kids, can’t drive, can’t walk the dog… and now apparently can’t carry shopping bags either.

The availability of cheap labor in India has created an entire class of adults without basic life skills.

"Now Granta, or more precisely the Commonwealth Prize ecosystem with which it is associated, appears to have been fooled by AI-generated prose. The issue is not whether detection software can “prove” machine authorship. The issue is aesthetic. Several readers and editors apparently encountered prose displaying classic LLM characteristics—semantic over-resolution at sentence level, lyrical excess without governing pressure, figurative autonomy detached from structural necessity—and accepted these peculiarities as “voice.”"

Former Aaj Tak Journalist Tanushree Pandey speaks up and shows the reality of India Media.

“There is no space left in Indian Media , all newsrooms have been bought”

Everyone must listen to this, BJP has finished Indian Media.

[Supriya Shrinate @SupriyaShrinate]

I entirely agree with @TanushreePande as she exposes how compromised large sections of Indian media truly are.

Tanushree’s own reportage deserves space on mainstream media, but it doesn’t get it. You know why!

You go, girl!

CJI’s cockroach remark has sparked a mini GenZ revolution in India. It has great potential but should be steered carefully. To begin with they should start a movement on Employment by demanding a Right to employment Law

[Chinki Sinha @chinkis]

@RuhiTewari @waglenikhil Or they just can’t take it that others are doing what they should be doing too for the sake of true journalism

[Ruhi Tewari @RuhiTewari]

The terribly regressive saying ‘aurat hi aurat ki sabse badi dushman hai’ has a new-age version in India — ‘journalist hi journalist ka sabse bada dushman hai’.

All day on Twitter I see journalists attack each other — sometimes reasonably founded, but often spiteful & unnecessary. It is our job to question everything and everyone, including each other, but to keep publicly running down your own kind because of political differences is a self-defeating exercise.
