What is the difference between India and Pakistan regarding press freedom and free speech? Join our discussion in the latest podcast where we explore why Pakistan lacks media figures like Ravish Kumar, Samdish Bhatia, and Dhruv Rathee.
In India, there are growing concerns about “Godi Media,” a term coined by journalist Ravish Kumar and popularized by Indian YouTubers Dhruv Rathee, Samdish Bhatia, and Akash Banerjee, to describe some mainstream electronic media outlets that have become the mouthpiece of the Modi-led right-wing ruling party BJP.
Journalist Fatima Zaidi points out how some brave Indian journalists and internet personalities have chosen to counter the mainstream media. She also highlights the power dynamics and other factors that make it difficult to follow such steps in Pakistan.
Tune in to episode #62 of the OTS Educational Podcast Series for an engaging discussion with Chevening scholar and journalist Fatima Zaidi. We debate the recent backlash against the Pakistan government’s “controversial” national firewall policy, criticized as “new internet censorship” aimed at restricting free speech, particularly in social media journalism.
