Hours after senior journalist Sreenivasan Jain alleged that바카라 웹사이트news channel바카라 웹사이트NDTV took down his story on Amit Shah라이브 바카라 entrepreneur son Jay Shah라이브 바카라 companies on the grounds of further “legal vetting”, the ghost of newsroom censorship has started to stumble바카라 웹사이트out of바카라 웹사이트the closet.
Veteran journalist and once the face of NDTV, Barkha Dutt took to바카라 웹사이트Twitter바카라 웹사이트on Wednesday바카라 웹사이트morning expressing her disdain against the former employer, saying “many of her stories were axed”.
Dutt, in her바카라 웹사이트Twitter post said axing stories at NDTV is not at all a new phenomena and that while working there she had to fight바카라 웹사이트over newswroom censorship바카라 웹사이트on various occasions. “Yes, axing stories at NDTV not new. And I don't recall said ex colleagues standing up for freedom of press & reporting when some of fought it (sic),” she wrote.
Her allegations also point towards “censorship” as the possible reason for her bitter exit from the news channel. Dutt, who has been quiet on the subject for so long,바카라 웹사이트has finally expressed her angst against the former employers and colleagues who바카라 웹사이트she thinks바카라 웹사이트“did not stand up for the freedom of press and reporting”.
The senior journalist then went on to cite instances where바카라 웹사이트she as well as her바카라 웹사이트other colleague라이브 바카라바카라 웹사이트wasmade to sit on their stories or바카라 웹사이트junk바카라 웹사이트it.
She said her interview with P Chidambaram, was axed while other stories manage to create a furor in the otherwise assumed “liberal’ newsroom.
“My PC intvw axed:a story I led on a Congress bigwig was a big row: @nitingokhale intvw of ex Navy Chief axed.None of these folks spoke then (sic).”
Nitin Gokhale was the former defence correspondent of NDTV, and now a national security analyst who hosts talk shows on Doordarshan. Gokhale, on Wednesday morning, was the first one to come out and tweet how, in a similar fashion, his "explosive" interview with바카라 웹사이트 the Navy chief was pulled down from the channel's website exactly three years ago. He said that lead to his exit from the organisation.
"In less than a month, I quit. Let라이브 바카라 hope you show similar spunk. Good luck.," he replied on Jain's tweet.
Finally, in a stinging last tweet, revealing the reason for her exit from the news channel, Dutt said “we stuck to our stand”. “Can share @nitingokhale & I were punished for speaking on censorship of our work:@ndtv was hostile to us: we parted. We stuck to our stand (sic).”
Sreenivasan Jain on late바카라 웹사이트Tuesday바카라 웹사이트night, in a short FaceBook post, had alleged that a report by him and journalist Manas Pratap Singh on loans given to Jay Shah라이브 바카라 companies was taken down from NDTV라이브 바카라 website a week ago. Terming it as a “hard choice for journalists” Jain then said that he is treating the situation as a “distressing aberration”.
"A situation like this presents journalists with hard choices. For now, I am treating this is as a distressing aberration and have decided to continue to do the journalism that I have always done – on NDTV. All of this has been conveyed to NDTV."
To queries on Jain라이브 바카라 story being taken down, NDTV tweeted on October 12 that the article was being legally vetted.바카라 웹사이트Jain himself had said that it was a temporary takedown.
The story was a follow-up to the The바카라 웹사이트Wire라이브 바카라바카라 웹사이트article alleging illegality in the business of Jay Shah. Jay Shah filed criminal and civil defamation cases against The Wire editors and the freelance author.
Recently, it was reported that SpiceJet owner Ajay Singh was taking over the news channel. NDTV, however, denied the reports in a statement given to the BSE.
