Journalists arrrested

IN Media Watch Briefs | 05/04/2017

The fallout from the entrapment sting that the new Malayalam channel called Mangalam TV did continues. NDTVreports  that "eight journalists in Kerala, all working with the same news channel, have surrendered to the police in connection with "honey-trapping" a minister who resigned last week over an obscene phone call." The channel  misrepresented the facts. While it originally claimed that the woman who the minister spoke to was a housewife who was being harassed to provide sexual favours, it later admitted that it was a journalist.
