Fictionalising facts

IN Media Watch Briefs | 06/10/2015

Being the media partner in a movie production means you can rewrite facts. It is a movie after all. We said on Oct. 5 that "Talvar" produced by the Times Group had shown a crucial interview that NDTV did with Noopur Talwar, which affected the case, as being done by their media partner Times Now. Now a contributor points out that this amounts to a "serve you right" for NDTV which  used its media partnership with "No one killed Jessica" to claim credit for exposing the eyewitnesses in that case, an investigation done by Tehelka in real life. The magazine also pointed this out at that time.
