In episode 4 of Bar at Law I talk with internationally famed journalist Mr.Amitoj Singh on the issue of Responsible Journalism - Media Trial and Press Ethics. Starting our dialogue from the issue of whether self regulation for media is enough to tackle the woes of fake news , sensationalism and biased journalism we stop on the next milestone to debate on the issue of yellow journalism and the trp race , we further draw an analysis of how the polarization of news channels blurs the thin line between freedom of press and control on free speech. On our final stop we examine whether media trial is a bad word ? Was the Sushant Rajput case highlighted to divert the attention from an ongoing pandemic ? Lastly we take notes on how much should we absorb from a news channel. Tune in to listen Mr. Singh draw from his experiences on covering the storming of US Capitol , reporting the ISIS Iraq conflict to interviewing the late Sushant Singh Rajput.
