The Rape of News edited by Sunil K Poolani
As the title suggests, the book questions the role of the Indian media at a
time when what you read and see in newspapers and magazines are not
‘genuine’, but planted stories — for a fee, of course. The contributors in
this second volume include Dilip D’Souza, Lina Mathias, Meena Menon,
Sevanti Ninan, Frederick Noronha, Meher Pestonji, Nilanjana S Roy, S
Sowmya, Farzana Versey and Shivam Vij.
The book raises questions about the trivialisation and commercialisation
of news and addresses the issues. - The Week
The book makes a strong point of why the media must have a mission,
and why newspapers should avoid crass commercialisation of news. -
Frederick Noronha, Deccan Herald
This is a brave little book that takes a contrarian view of the media and
information racket. An indispensable read for every freedom-loving citizen.-
The Free Press Journal
The book presents a thought-provoking collection of essays on the
disappearing distinction between broadsheet newspapers and tabloids -
