Screening: Brokering News
The movie Brokering News will be screened at Cobalt on 21 July. The movie is about how Indian media has much to be proud of as a significant part of Indian democracy. But, there is an increasing public disenchantment, not just with its shrillness, sermonising and sensationalism, but with its core value-integrity.
