“Start with why, not AI.”

For most journalists who worked at Network18, it was a simple value proposition. Many told Sagar, a staff writer at The Caravan, that Reliance took care of its employees quite well in terms of salaries, medical insurance and provident funds, as long as they did what they were told.

If not, the company would come after you. Two former employees said they struggled with finding jobs after leaving Network18 because the management warned potential employers against hiring them. A former associate editor said they were asked to remove “Former Network18” from their social media account because they had tweeted something that the management believed was “anti-Hindu.” Almost half a dozen staffers said their social media accounts were closely monitored by the management. “Because the ruling government is very particular about it,” the former primetime anchor told Sagar. “They live by twitter, die by twitter. Who tweets what? Which journalist tweeted what? Which journalist tweets what way? Identical tweets will be sent to PMO reporters.” Those who reported directly on and to the Prime Minister. Individuals also lost their jobs at the network for posts even vaguely critical of Modi or the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh that trained him.

A BBC news reporter stood outside the BBC on BBC Breakfast saying that the BBC had not responded to a request for comment from BBC News about a BBC presenter being axed from a BBC show.

The Exit Polls scam

[Andy Mukherjee @andymukherjee70]

Another thing about this Indian election is the rise of independent media. @ravishndtv and @DhruvRatheeIN are stars, of course, but also today @deKoderdigital pretty much gave us the best of Dr. @PrannoyRoy7749 at a fraction of the capital deployed in NDTV.

The meltdown on TV channels is iconic and ironic. Again, whatever be one’s politics - we can’t forget the shameful actions of several journalists / channels who have lied, incited hate and violence, and reduced their profession to stenography.

When Netanyahu tried to dismiss the International Criminal Court prosecutor's request for an arrest warrant for him as "antisemitism" (a cheap shot), he didn't contend with Theodor Meron, a highly respect jurist and Holocaust survivor, who approved them. https://t.co/YKkFt0gHYt

A Pramod Mahajan Classic Speech that never fails to bring a smile. Imagine how bad things were that many of us have been craving for the chaos of the coalition era 😂😂🫣☺️

Go to Ayodhya. Talk to the people. Ask them how they feel about Modi's Ram Path project for which their small businesses, shops, old temples, and homes were demolished. Did they listen to the protests and follow due process? Was Ayodhya being developed for the locals?

[Dhanya Rajendran @dhanyarajendran]

What we need badly now in this country is media that will stop being hagiographical and not allow the government to function uncritical. People protesting on roads are not 'trouble makers' and 'anti-nationals' as you often dismiss them, they are real people with real troubles.

Adani group shares lost a cumulative $45 billion today, even more than their biggest single day loss after the Hindenburg report.

Do watch this brilliant response by @_YogendraYadav when the Anchor said "BJP itself is more than the entire INDIA block put together, What do you have to say about that".

[Sushant Singh @SushantSin]

The electoral process was run in a manner that does no credit to a constitutional democracy. That the ruling party still failed to get a majority tells you about the extent and intensity of disaffection and anger.

It is NOT a certificate of health for India's democracy.

[Gerry Shih @gerryshih]

There’s a vast and basic gulf between holding the ruling party to account for the public interest and siding with/carrying water for the opposition.

Willfully conflating the two to proudly justify being a government mouthpiece

[Meehika Barua @meehikabarua]

Another day of seeing exact sentences with source links from my pitch in a published article in a leading women's magazine, written by the same editor whom I had sent it to 2 months ago and followed up thrice. It never gets easy. The worst bit is this is someone I've met.

[Kaushik Basu @kaushikcbasu]

Worrying data for 2022. This is not the column in which India should be. Such high youth unemployment is damaging India’s human capital & hurting the common person. We must look at data & take policy action & not live by slogans.

[Harmeet K. Dhillon @HarmeetKDhillon]

Thank you @elonmusk! This is a brave and very important stance.

Indeed, a kaleidoscope of influences converged to create Mughal Architecture, and thus it can feel simultaneously familiar and strange.

Scalloped arches of the Delhi Sultanate, Iranian iwans, Indian chhatris and chhajjas, along with more typical Islamic motifs like muqarnas.
