Speakers: Ms Pamela Philipose, Public Editor, The Wire; Shri Om Thanvi, Consulting Editor, Patrika Group; Shri Vinod Sharma, Political Editor, Hindustan Times; Shri L K Sharma, veteran journalist  

Moderator: Suhas Borker

Is Indian media being manipulated? Is dissent being expunged? Is there an "undeclared emergency”? Has censorship and managing the headlines given way to something more insidious? Are fake news and troll factories and assembly lines of Goebbelsian tweets and violent threats subverting democratic processes?  Is media being polarised against itself?  

Collaboration: Jan Prasar
