Death threats for Dutt

IN Media Watch Briefs | 05/03/2016

NDTV anchor Barkha Dutt has been receiving death threats for her JNU coverage.  She filed an FIR  on March 4  and the police visited the NDTV premises.  This comes after  the death threat  to Asianet news editor  Sindhu Suryakumar for hosting a discussion on 'Whether Celebrating Mahishasur Jayanthi is an act of Treason' last month on the channel. Is  press freedom now  becoming a life and death issue for high profile TV journalists as well?
