Cozy awards

IN Media Watch Briefs | 06/06/2014

The Mumbai Press Club's annual Redink awards for journalism will be a star-studded affair. While the occasion will see a timely debate on whether the media stoked the NaMo wave, the chief guests are the state governor, and the new I & B minister. The list of sponsors is revealing: from Adani to the Aditya Birla group, to Yes Bank to Zee Business. Each winner in the 14 categories gets Rs 1 lakh, as does the Lifetime Achievement winner. So the winners of the environment and  human rights award will have the minister for environment preside over the ceremony, which will partly be paid for by the man who helped Modi become PM. Cozy!
