From the street

IN Media Watch Briefs | 24/09/2016

As his wont, NDTV India's Ravish Kumar, conducted his prime time show from the street at Delhi's  Batra Cinema on Friday (Sept 23) asking those preparing for competitive exams for government posts, if war with Pakistan was advisable. The area is full of  coaching institutes. Retired generals were advocating war  from TV studios, and anchors were stoking the hysteria. "I want to know the views outside the world of TV," he explained. Save one or two,  everyone said war as an idea was wrong. He demonstrated the dissonance between the  media,  and world not habitated by TV chatteratti and twitterati.
