What is broken about the news media in India is self evident on the front pages of the dailies in the mornings and on the nightly news on television in the evenings.
Fragments of news, a significant portion lazily strung together from press agency clippings, are what a careful newspaper reader can sift out between a series of full-page advertisements peddling products, and images of women (usually of non-Indian origin) in different states of undress (in their defense, savvy editors must be acutely aware now that many of their readers prefer to get their titillation from their English-language newspapers than from other sources.) If there is any original reporting at all, it is always a bit unclear if a government agency or a private company has sponsored the report, or whether it is just another unpaid favor that has been granted by the editor.
Hard hitting but is anyone even talking about how big of a problem this is apart from cracking jokes on Twitter?
