Double standards

IN Media Watch Briefs | 19/01/2016
Media houses such as Rajasthan Patrika and Dainik Bhaskar are sponsoring events at the Jaipur lit fest.  The Patrika  is sponsoring an event on Trial by Media featuring Avirook Sen, Shoma Chaudhury and others.  The irony is that this is a paper which participated in a similar trial by media with the kind of reporting  it did  in the  Indrani Mukherjea case. And  Catch News which the Patrika group owns and Chaudhury is editor in chief of,  had contributed its bit by  laying out, in explicit detail, the “incest angle” in the  recent murder.
