Suddenly, the whole focus of India Today has shifted to consoling Axis My India's Pradeep Gupta, who is crying profusely for getting exit polls wrong. This comes after Rajdeep's butter chicken dinner plans with Congress' Amethi winner on live TV. #LokSabhaElectionResults2024

Yet another example of India's 'mainstream media' taking a fall. Shamelessly and constantly.

Alarmingly high rates of hysterectomies among sugarcane cutters in Maharashtra has long been an open secret — but politicians with deep ties to the industry have looked the other way. Megha Rajagopalan & Qadri Inzamam report for @fullerproject & The New York Times fullerproject.org/story/why-poli…

Fake news and misinformation is so normalised and internalised in the Indian mediascape that not a single journalist in India has so far apologised or issued a corrigendum for peddling fake news and misinformation. The world is laughing at these jokers.

So thrilled & glad to receive the SOPA Award this year, along with my colleagues Megha Rajagopalan and Saumya Khandelwal, for our story —a collaboration between The New York Times and The Fuller Project. Congratulations to the team & thanks to my editors! The Society of Publishers in Asia The Fuller Project
