Mr Modi speaks again

IN Media Watch Briefs | 02/09/2016

Prime Minister Narendra Modi, once so loath to talk to the country’s English language media, seems to be finally opening up to them. After his interview with Times Now’s Arnab Goswami in June, it’s now the turn of CNN News 18’s editor-in-chief Rahul Joshi to have snagged a coveted interview with the PM. The channel carried breathless promos of it all day yesterday. The interview, which will be telecast in full at 9 pm today, was “so intense” says the channel, that Modi and Joshi walked outdoors into a “light drizzle” while talking!
