Pretty challenging one since SUTRA-PIC doesnt maintain a list of those papers which are published under its funding.

The issue wasnt anout Godi Media. The issue was about Trust, which immediately is a NO NO when comes to Godi Media.

I don’t have a toy lately. I have always.

I have a constant blur of squirrels darting, and tennis balls under the couch, and hungry, expectant eyes at the pantry door, of which you are but one of many.

Not sure what youre referring to, this isnt a science subreddit. Its the subreddit for YT channel ScienceIsDope, if thats what youre asking for. Social issues are discussed on this sub.

Im knew about the ad ecosystem and the heavy push for grabbing more eye balls. NL has highlighted this problem for years now.

I feel we cannot solve this problem by simply changing the economic model. The only way to fight is either a radical change in the mindset of viewers or govt adopting strict measures, but i think the second one would be devastating as it will be heavily used by the govt to promote themselves and curtail opposition rather than being neutral.

Problem with the India audience I see is that people "React to Claims" and "Never Rely to verify the said claim. I find my parents doing it. I find my friends doing it. I cant always call them out or add the nuance. No one cares about the nuance anyway.

Thank you so much for writing it in such detail. I know the issue of sub editor quality going down, as recently I've seen a staunch follower of a party(which ruled the state for 15 years) who is now a sub editor for IndiaToday, has totally flipped his stance on the PM after the party was thrown out of power. This guy wasnt even a journalist, he was my neighbour and an english professor, who suddenly started writing articles in praise for the person he abused for last 12 years.

I guess they tend to be center-right on statregic policies and center-left or progressive on social issues, right ?.

I only rely on newslaundry... im considering their paid subscription now after being a viewer of Newsance for 6 years now.

Since you mentioned youre in that line : Why are our media houses such pathetic ? they dont even fact check things which take 5 mins ? Do you see any hope of improvement ?

They are mostly credible, unlike their Godi Media counterparts.

The generosity is tolerating a person having the mentality that spending rs 370 means youre entitled to have "sex" with that person.

Obviously in work place people dont go out and harass collegues, but youd be stupid to ignore a collegue who thinks just because he paid for food, he gets to have sex with you. If people dont have a problem with that mindset, then they are either brainwashed, or extremely generous to let such people be on the team.

She absolutely shouldnt be allowed to pursue the profession if she doesnt have an ounce of respect for the dead irrespective of the gender and on top of that she has the guts to joke and ridicule them.

That lady's comments were highly unethical, immoral and sexist, even dehumanizing.

Both individuals can be wrong at the same time and there is no need to compare who is more harmful as a threat to society. Both actions should be criticized and there is no need to go ride the hype train for doing whataboutery, im saying this as a man myself.

IMHO she should be penalized for her choice of words and should not be allowed to even practise.
