On the sins of TV anchors

IN Media Watch Briefs | 20/02/2016

The JNUSU events in Delhi  since February 9 have seen two kinds of assaults involving media—an attack on journalists within the Patiala House Courts, and an assault by some TV anchors on the JNU student community, repeated every day.  Journalists protested all week about the first, and have been totally silent about the second until NDTV India’s Ravish Kumar decided to speak up about the misuse of TV news  in this telecast on February 19, 2016. Zee News is clearly identified here via its sound track, but Times Now is not.
