Rana Yashwant managing editor India news shortly. He's on his way Over to you, sir. Welcome back from the lunch session and Now you have to pay for it by being here There is no free lunch ladies and gentlemen, but what I have for you is five journalists heads of newsrooms who In a way other guys you should go after now Because whatever you have said in the earlier sessions There are there are people who are decision makers here who could probably explain to you where newsroom 2018 is and newsroom for those of you who are completely uninitiated is today a Multi-headed Hydra it has digital prowess. It has imaging in the classic still picture format It has writers. It has of course anchors and great speakers Not particularly good listeners so Having said that I would leave the floor to five extremely articulate leaders of the newsroom 2018 scenario, I would imagine that all of them would be around for newsroom 2020 scenario so therefore I will turn to Someone who I think without putting the person in the box unduly and unfairly Someone whose content actually drives most newsrooms Which is the A&I? the lady in my panel Mrs. Smitha Prakash an erudite Twitter expert as well, so you should follow her and you know also her Extremely thoughtful and provocative tweets and I think that in in a word is also a parallel track to Newsrooms and news channels now although Supriya. Bye has still not taken to Twitter Or you are that's revelation for me. I'll follow you immediately as Smitha starts speaking So Smitha, what do you think between? 2018 and 2020 which audiences here are going to see and how will A&I be a driver in that? The new game that Exchange for media seems to think by putting us on this panel Thank you, Rojji, and thank you exchange for media for having me over Asking me to be the first to speak I almost feel like you know class major first First anyway Since I have been in the newsroom for you know more than two decades. I've kind of grown up seeing The newsroom change in the 90s and in the early 2000s and to now Of course it goes Without saying that it's technology driven everything That we started off, you know learning what journalism was all about was chasing the story but Eventually it became something about Putting all the focus on delivering the story So you had to be the first to get the story out and get it out before In a in a wholesome manner, you know where you got Responses from everybody now a newsroom a we at A&I had an integrated newsroom long before other Multimedia channels when I say multimedia in the sense like if a newspaper has a Website as well as a television channel They all had separate wings, but we I guess were too poor to have separate wings So we had one integrated newsroom and views our reporters doubled up So that is something which all news agencies news channels Newspapers are now getting about doing it where every reporter in the newsroom is Multitasking he or she is reporting he or she is filming you're seeing reporters with you know those selfie sticks So they go out on location. They shoot their own story There's no need to edit because there's no time to edit it. You are running the story live That's a change which has happened in 2018 2020 I don't know when I guess they will go directly to the reporter where he'll be shooting it directly Maybe that's already happening in 2018. So Things are moving at such a fast pace in television Those players who are modifying who are keeping up with the Changes in technology changes in reporting. They are the ones who are going to survive till 2020 Otherwise, you're going to see a lot of news channels You know those who are hanging on to the old concept the traditional thing of tune into 9 p.m To know what the story is Those who wait for that 9 p.m. News. They are going to be you know dinosaurs of 2020 because the younger generation is not going to be waiting for the 9 p.m News to get the news they are all You know handset they want their news on their devices So those who are moving with the times and breaking story as it happens Quickly and on there and available to their audiences on their devices They are the ones who going to be there in 2020. They are the ones who going to be relevant in 2020, right? So Smitha, you thank you so much and now this I think speaks for nearly all of us So there is a sense of technology the sense of multitasking reporting there'll be a sense of all kinds of Speed-related factual, you know fact-checking processes, etc. Which will be inherent in what you said and these are things that were relevant perhaps even in 2016 just as they are in 2018 and will be in 2020 and Those who do not accept this reality in the newsrooms of today will become as Chashi Tharoor would say troglodytes That was his most recent contribution to my vocabulary troglodytes, which means people who live in caves So I'll get Supriya Sahab to now tell us about what often bothers us as viewers Yes, it's a chai kaha jaariya is this Tez Raftar me is zyada bade content ke Ambar me such chai kaha jaariya Or yeh e-kursi kaha se aariya That would be a topic here. Yeah, that's how newsroom in 2020. I'm sorry. I thought about what I should say It's me. Yeah, I'll go back to my company. I thought about it Okay, that's how it is. Yeah, come back Instead of becoming a journalist, someone is becoming a nationalist, someone is becoming a socialist. What is happening in this direction? When we are sitting here today, there is a lot of concern for us. And we need to think about whether we will be able to save the credibility of the people who believe in us in 2020. It is possible that one or two channels do this. But no one else will be able to do it. In the eyes of ordinary people, in the eyes of our viewers and viewers, no one is different. Everyone believes that there is one right. So until we do not worry about this, I do not think that we will be able to do any news in 2020. We will be able to do it in 2020. These people will come and see us as managers for 3 hours and leave. So news 2020 has a new definition and a message that has been expressed that it will only be done in 2020. On the one hand, television works in the format of one channel. If you are watching that channel, then you do not have any imagination other than changing the channel. There is a scroll on any other subject, but there is only one thing on the channel. Unlike newspapers, which you buy once, you can go there. So as soon as Smita told us about the concept of integrated newsroom, Mr. Supriya told us about the kind of confidence that can be expressed in the future. Sanjay, since you are the editor of the integrated newsroom, and he said that different producers, different anchors, different thoughts, people have come in front and started to bring it. So is this just a bad thing? Is this not a good thing that the person who is like that, if he says, if I want to listen to him, then I will listen. If I do not want to listen, then I will change. But from the front, he is making something else and actually he has something else in mind. It would be better if people come in front and talk in multiple formats. And you can run 20 streams on Facebook of the same channel. And there are 2 billion people on Facebook now. So is the overall change of the single TV channel and the newspaper channel visible to you in 2020? This is a very fascinating time for storytellers. This can be a fascinating time for the storytellers. When I look at myself as a journalist, who started TV journalism in 1994, and how I had to transport the tape, my tape, I went for coaching shooting, from there I have the first pain that how can I send my newsroom Delhi and from there, a passenger's hand and a tape was sent from a rider's airport and the tape was then sent to the office to cut the story. But today you see what the disruption of the internet has done. Control is completely over. First control is the lack of content, generating content. Content is so much that there are about 50 crore smartphone users in India. We are living in the wrong that we break the news. We just verify. The events that happen, the smartphone users, about 50 crore, they are reporters, publishers, editors. The events happen in front of them. They take their video, take a photo, write something on it, share it. And if they want, they can do it on Facebook Live or Live, so they can do it live. They don't need an OBI or a newsroom, they need a copy editor. Our competition is happening with them. Content is so much. Who were the other editors? We used to meet people who said that this news will go, this won't go, this will go, this won't go, this won't go, this is our ethics, this is our that. Our social media has broken those ethics. In social media someone writes that the Hindus killed Muslims. Hindus killed Dalits. Nowadays we discuss the same things in the newsroom. Sometimes it seems strange. But it is a fact. Earlier we used to say that there are two holes in one hole. Now there is no need to say that the Hindus killed Muslims or Muslims killed Hindus. Because the social media has become viral for the first time. People know it first. If you say that there are two holes, you won't get it. To listen, to watch, to read. If you are saying on it, you are getting convinced that yes, the Hindus are right. I also heard this. Then it is getting involved. The second thing Supre said, look, this is a global phenomenon. Rise of right. You can't stop it. Maybe our socio-economic conditions were around. It is not just happening in India, it is happening in the US, it is happening in Europe. We have forgotten the majority. Is there any problem with the majority? Should we raise our voice for the majority or not? This is a difference to see this. But it is not that everything rises and falls. Whatever happens, the heartbeats will go up, down, up and down. Then the second issue will come. The biggest problem is the content. Content is useless. The third issue is not the control of the editor. The biggest issue is the distributor. For the television channel, for the distributor, for the distribution, where will the money come from? For the newspaper, where will you afford such an expensive newsprint? As Mr. Rohit said, on one screen, TV screens have become small. They have become very small. The hunger of content for 24 hours. What does a man want today? A man, today, on some news, it is like a prime time. There is no prime time. It is my prime time and my story. I wanted to read a story. Right now, on that story. I won't wait for newspaper to come tomorrow morning and turn around the papers. I vote for Supriya Prasad to make a rundown and go through half an hour or one hour bulletin to see that story. I go to my tab or my laptop or my computer. I search my story. I wanted to read that story. I wanted to see video of that story. I wanted to listen, talking heads there. And I wanted to see how people are reacting to that in real time. And then I make my opinion and react to it or share that story. That is the time. What does TV also guarantee at home that you get those MSOs through cable or through distribution through DTH? OTT has come. Break free. You go and put a fire stick. I don't know what is going to happen in 2020. You put a fire stick through OTT. You put a fire stick through Netflix. You come home at 9 p.m. You don't have to watch it. You come home at 3 o'clock in the weekend. Break free. You cook at home. You attend guests. You pause. So the demand for viewers is going on. And all the traditional media we have are trying to change in India. Automation. Algorithms. Virtual reality. augmented reality. This will be the way of telling the story. Now watch behind me. Now the crime scene from the drone or the scene of the incident will be shown from the drone. And with your face recognition you don't know what you will be able to do. I think in 2020 more than half that our augmented and algorithms will break the story. We keep it on Twitter and Facebook to break the story. Human power. 5-6 people are watching. When did you come? We will design the algorithm to break this personality base or political base story. Computers, robots, AP is being done. It has started abroad. The quarterly results of U.S. companies or our budget. Who keeps on copying the budget? What do people want to hear in the budget? Do you want to hear what is expensive and cheap? Is the tax less or more? What is the impact on which company? What does it mean from you? By concluding that now viewers are going to be really king and content is going to be the king. We will not talk about ad revenue. We will have to make such a compelling content. TRP comes once a week. Your digital word is there and your TRP comes with it. How much has been shared? We are all getting ready and more robots, more algorithms will be available in the newsroom in 2020. Beautifully said. I think what Smita Ji started by telling us how the digital journey of Indian newsrooms represented in her case by A&I, so ably. And to what ethical and moral and qualitative dimensions Supriya brought out to this whole new world of storytelling beyond 2016 and 2014 and 1994 where ironically it's not just ordinary passengers who got the tape. It was often the same minister who was supposed to be on the story who got the tape. So if you had a wrong story or a bad story there was no way your tape is going to reach your headquarters. So thankfully we have moved on from that date. And I think I wanted to bring in the business of the distribution which you said that at some stage say direct-to-home was a big deal. Nine o'clock was prime time. But today direct-to-home or DTH is actually having a new name which is essentially direct-to-hand. So on TV there are five or six people sitting together in the house or in the hands of the village. There are 50 people sitting together. We may not be able to see them because in India there is a very fast pace of 4G and because of that 1.5 crore GB is only one provider per month. And all together more than 200 crore GB which is equivalent to America and China. In India only one. So Rana Yashwant thank you for that entry. You came in like a star that you are. Welcome. Now just tell me we are trying to talk about 2020 and try to think about it. Sanjay Bhakta said that he will have to tell his story in new ways. He will have to use virtual reality. And maybe not direct-to-home but direct-to-head which can be wearable even by watching the news. And the correctness of information is one aspect. Nobody can deny that. But the entertainment portion will be very big. And the Whatsapp journalism has increased a lot these days. Somebody sends a message and forward it to others. So the forwarding criteria will somehow capture the algorithm of Whatsapp which will increase revenue streams. So in today's newsroom and in 2020 there are exactly two or three things that you can see that you worry about and you still don't see. See on the ground. Good afternoon. I am a retired heart player substitute. It happens that you get worshiped and people say call the person next to you. So 20-25 minutes ago I got a phone call and I came. This is 2020 and when it came to cricket many people were against it and worried about it. It broke the rules of cricket. So in 2020 with this it is very dangerous. Give 20-20 jewellery and it becomes 40. Let's talk about 40 decent people again and again. There is a message coming to us. There was a family owner. He used to abuse and abuse. The rest were decent people. His two sons slowly learned how to abuse. Under him there were two or four grandchildren. They also learned how to abuse. Later when they were roaming around in the society people used to say what kind of family you are. So they used to sit together and talk. They used to say that abuse is not good. We should stop abusing. We should talk without abusing. People don't believe in decent people. They used to sit together and talk. We do the same. We were responsible for the media. We were earning. We were getting a strong people. We were trusting people. In this country many things have changed according to the media. Because some people really work for which they have come to this field. Supri had said right. When I thought about the media of 2020 I came to know that a reporter has a flag in his hand. An anchor has a flag in his hand. And everybody is divided. This whole press will be divided. There are 2-3 things in this. Sanjay is one piece. Supri is one piece. Look at this. The technology that is growing in 2020 after augmented reality will happen. Technology is growing very fast. Technology is being introduced in our life. There are many facilities in it. There are many dangers in it. In 2020 augmented reality will happen. You can see the river tomorrow. You can see the dry river. You can see the river. The question is which man has a flag on his shoulder. You can use that technology. As it is in the social media. Rohit is saying that he comes from the world. He comes from the world. You can share it. Technology is to create a trend in the world of news. Viewer is interested to see it. But our whole impact will change. Technology doesn't happen. It doesn't happen. But we will use it that way. The question is about content. Today we are sharing with you the biggest problem is field reporting. It is not a reporter. The anchor sitting in the studio who has never seen the land or the fields or the fields is related to it. He sits and decides. In this country what will be the opinion of the people? He holds his own flag. In our culture it is said that we will accept that the flag will remain here. We have given the responsibility to hold the flag. You have to tell the whole country what is the agenda of our company or our organization. We carry the political party's driven agenda. What is journalism? In 2020 the question is that how much can we change fundamentally? One person can't be a cricket player nor a hockey player. A hockey player can't play baseball. Every player has his own rules and players are different for every player. Journalism is a preface. And we are in it. That is why the content of 2020 because the politics that we have now is in the media. The media is a part of politics. We don't know if it is a reporter or a banker or a party member. This is the biggest cause of the danger. That is why political parties media is the cause of the danger. The western interests of political parties are increasing. We will give names for the political parties but there is a agenda behind it. You make that agenda with us. That is why the political party's own agenda which you want to establish as a opinion in the society is us. And we do the same. This is the issue of content. What is the danger of technology in that? Wherever you are weak I will strengthen you and wherever you are strong the other person will try to weaken you. That is the truth about the truth. And that is what happens. I don't know how many times a person dies on social media. Before that at least 3-4 times on social media. About Mr. Bachchan leave it. But you see 2.5 seconds 3 minutes 4 minutes a video is made by a man's beard and tries to abuse him and then he comes and walks on the television channels. One man Zahil Ghamar made a video and posted it on social media. He raised the television channel and spread it all over the country. He kept on running and ruining the country. We have to understand what we are. What is our land in the society? We have become helpless. Which comes and dances according to us. We are helpless. We have compulsions in every company. But by standing in that compulsion can't you try to make your land better? Can you do it? Then we do our job. We are a bank. That's why in 2020 in front of this country the challenges are more dangerous than that in front of the society and more dangerous than that in front of this country's media. There is more question of the society. There is more question of the society. The more you read, the more you understand what is the truth. This is the newsroom. We have to run and spread it all over the country. We have to force ourselves on field reporting. We have to take people off the ground and try to keep the truth with us. I know that we are helpless too. We are all helpless. But by taking the front of the helpless we are finishing our profession. This is a big truth. This truth is not true. I will tell you the truth. I will tell you the truth through this support statement. The truth doesn't change. The truth is the truth. You will change through augmented reality. There is a difference. You will stand up and shout and silence the two people who you want to prove. There is a difference. There is no truth. That's why in 2020 we have to change this system. Technology will keep changing. This is very important. I understand that we don't have to wear a tie. We have to wear a coat. It's not right to wear a coat. I understand this. But on such a short notice you said with so much emotion and the big editor doesn't get the chance to keep his word. He listens and stays in the newsroom. You speak so openly in front of a common person. I want to congratulate you. I want to congratulate you. Mr. Tarun Nangia, what would you like to say? You are a wild card entry. I don't know what you want to say and if you want to say anything or not. Please carry on. Hello. I am Tarun Nangia. I am editor of special projects with ITV group. We have News X and India News and host of regional channels. Getting straight to the topic since we have very little time. The topic is newsroom in 2020. What I think is that never before in the history of India the medium affected the message. By 2020 the medium will affect the message. The medium will be penetration of broadband in this country. In the past 6 months I have had a chance to visit as many as 6 to 7 states across the country and you will see that broadband is now penetrating the 600 districts that we have across the country and 6.32 lakh villages. What will happen is that till now what I have seen of television channels per se is that proximity of news actually ruled what news would be run. So if something happens in Noida say a murder for example Naarushi it is big news. Something happens in say Banda or some remote area of the country it's not news because simply you don't have the financial resources to send people and doesn't suit your budget. So the penetration of broadband will be the single most important factor which will actually influence how news is collected and disseminated. Of course the second point will be specialized content. Now what do I mean by specialized content. For example if there is an accident somewhere in the country there are many people that will show it but if there is a 10% tax on long term capital gains you have a strong middle class in this country which is in millions who wants to know what is the implication of that 10% that I'll have to pay now and he will also have to be told that even now despite the government's claims from Netherlands and France you can still invest in India and not pay long term capital gains because this is what research analysts are saying but we will have to tell this to our consumer because consumer when he downloads your app he is expecting something special and value for money because the time that he spends on your app is worth money for you because you run banner ads and do road block deals to get those ads. So my limited short point is the penetration of broadband in 600 districts of the country there is a government initiative and now private companies are doing it and I will end my point with a small example. A lot of stringers call me all the time to run certain stories on the channel so this stringer called me from Ratlam and said sir this is Shori you take it from us you run it so I said that these stories will never run he said sir this is a very important story if you want to run it it is very good he sent me everything on whatsapp I tried but they said there are such stories so in the end we decided in the editorial meeting that let it not run the next day he said sir you have not read my news on this news there are 45,000 views I have uploaded it on facebook and I have uploaded it on twitter and the local police has taken cognizance because it was a police excessive issue that police had some people who were beaten up what has happened where the media failed the social media filled in so we all of us who sit in Delhi and think that news is only in Noida Bombay, Thana, say in Kochi in Kerala, Trivendra or Bengal in Calcutta we don't realize that the whole world in India still lives in villages so when we get out of our silos the thinking will change and how thinking will change that will be through access and access will come from broadband will be the single most important factor that will influence news and we will see this in 2020 this is my prediction and end my point by saying when Rohit Bansal joined Reliance Industries Limited all the time the CFS of Reliance used to give different interviews or you know to various newspapers and you know the interviews used to be on some time the vice president sometimes there was a press note I think you first time run the whole thing on youtube do you enjoy it? I deny the confirm not deny so this was run on youtube and as this was run on youtube suddenly you saw 6 channels running that press conference life so news had value it was put up on youtube channels automatically locked down and played that news so that's the power of technology and broadband and that's how it will implement news my limited point for today thank you I think beautifully articulated Tarun thank you for filling in at the last minute and you have the elephant into the room which is broadband and fortunately for all of us on that side the elephant is not waiting till 2020 the elephant is already inside so Sanjay Bhai also mentioned how the integrated news rooms of you know all the organizations actually are grappling with this reality and within that reality lies the ethical dimensions and the qualitative dimensions which Supriya's have said and Rana of course with his passion brought out also asking some very tough questions to the profession and so glad to be in the midst of so many distinguished journalists being an extinguished one I know I should be listening more now having said this to your point that everybody here lives in Delhi no we have a guy coming all the way from Virginia to speak to us and he is part of the jury and someone I have met after 1985 for the first time we happen to go to the same class but I assure you I had no reason no votes to get him inside Anurag Bhattra suggested and he is paying for the lunch that you just had so here's Punit Alvalia for you you are a keen viewer of Indian news sources your profession of a lobbyist in Washington DC Premier from Livingston is where you are affiliated with how do you see the lobbying game in India inherent to the news business so don't just talk to us as a viewer you get your content in you have multiple channels on which channels are news sources including their stuff your stuff for which you get built and you get paid for so let me put you in a spot because you have been very bad to me when I was in school what is this lobbying game in India and what do you see its changes in the next one or two years to your advantage thank you to Anurag and his team for putting a great show together it's very important to get and I have to say that when you bring such a high caliber of folks to really talk about the fourth leg of democracy it's so important because this is a very healthy conversation and it's needed especially now and by the way good to see you my friend after a long time I won't give you any more trouble but the key thing is as my I served on President Trump's advisory committee as in his own words I would say no more fake news please let's stick to substantive real news which people can buy through and think they're living in a great democracy that's very important because I feel India has a huge responsibility in this part of the region to keep that stability in because if this country gets destabilized for whatever reasons it would be a really bad example for so many others because look we told you so and that's the reason why the press plays such an important role you all are the opinion makers people sleep better at night when they listen to you when I am in the United States I'm looking at the news and say look that my country is safe I get emotional because I really care and really really admire the people who have gone overseas done so exceptionally well we go to our home and we come here and we see such dysfunctionalities which kind of tears our heart and that's the reason why I feel the onus is on the media but coming to CD 2020 which I think your question is there will be a disruptive force as President Trump was and Prime Minister Modi was to change this ball game and you have to find a way to monetize it and make it profitable at the same time reach people at the same time I was talking to Smitha in fact she's always head of reporting when we do something in US coming why is India important why lobbying is important because everything has to be done overtly we are tired of this underhanded shady deals let's do it overly as we do it in the US if you are promoting a product in fact I was talking to somebody who is a very important reporter or a political guy he said to me Puneet you lobby your mother Krishna Krishanji lobbied the Pandavas to go fight to pick up the Dhanush so at all time even Ramchandarji was lobbied by Hanuman and the Sena to go an attack or when Vibhishan came to put the Thir in the right place so lobbying has always been there and always will stay but what I request is if we can make it very overt and very transparent there will be a very less likely possibility of all the shady deals and by God I hold the press responsible for bringing out the bad characters because it's time to get the bad actors out and what I also feel very strongly is a strong US India relationship because in the end if you are in trouble if you are attacked which is the country you are going to look to and that will be the United States all the other people will get a twiddle and go away and do things that's the reason why it's important this relationship develops and the NRIs the people like myself who are very politically instituted and understand and I really request to see one of these press one of these groups become the next Al Jazeera look at the next thing we are the opinion maker we have the largest democracy and the largest number of people and so much wealth why can't we be the opinion maker when we talk about taking the Indo-Asia Pacific or the Indo-Pacific why don't we say this country rules the network and the waves and of course with so many brilliant technologists why can't we come up with a disruptor technology which gets to people but anyway I've chewed my time I've said a lot but I am honored to be here and thank you all and I'm sorry for being emotional but I really care about this country and I care about my people thank you good so how many minutes do we have three minutes no we will get some extension because Anurag is here come on be a good guy 27 more minutes just kidding 10 minutes okay good okay so we have I'm sure compelling interventions from the panel here but I like to let questions come in fundamentally I still see that everybody is putting it on the media but what if I dare say that each one of us here is a media company Professor Bharat Anand in Harvard Business School has an interesting book called the content trap and you look at it and some of the ideas will come pretty obvious to everybody but suffice to say that the whole argument is that with Facebook with Twitter with social media with broadband that Tarun eruditely put with the international you know viewership also now no longer a hostage to the satellite that channel A or B or C is able to subscribe actually each person out there and there was an admission that all the stories are effectively coming from some other source and then you are only doing fact checking but without fact checking the stories are going anyway 45,000 views and so on and so forth so leaving Rana Yashwant rather worried about probably what will happen in the next one or two years as a reality so before you open it up and just put each channel on the block and start thinking of media persons as a problem you could even be the solution ladies and gentlemen you could be content providers digital personality of your own and most certainly someone who is your own media company there is a live license that was required earlier by the ministry of information broadcasting for news channels and conversely all entertainment channels had to go each time with folded hands to get a license for a live telecast or a football match or a film fair show and what have you today you can see people on the planet can simultaneously log into your Facebook feed and that requires no license from any bureaucrats sitting in Dur Sanjar or in perhaps Shastri Bhavan so questions I will take just three questions and I won't start from the front rows I will really go at the back I will give preference to women and then if there is still time left we will come to the front rows of the senior people in front we will have to bear with me can we have some questions from the back I saw a hand block excuse me yeah there please would you point it to a specific panelist and could you be extremely brief as a courtesy to your next person who will ask the question what is the question from the morning it is not audible can you hold it closer thank you sir what is the question what is the question from the morning we are currently seeing the content division in two platforms one is a conventional platform which is a conventional platform and the other is a digital platform and one of the editors from the Hindi news you look at the digital platform there is no nonsense content which is a conventional television platform it is not coming out of the cycle or it doesn't want to come out it still has the low so why it is still with the non-nonsense content and why is it the best no no no it doesn't exist thank you for your question I disagree that what you are seeing on the net is no nonsense I think it is filled with nonsense in fact they are influencing you in making your political choices it is unfiltered news that is there in your politics we are talking about fact checking you don't know how much time we spend as editors and how little time we have to fact check and how many stories we kill on an hourly basis because we are unable to fact check and in spite of that we make mistakes so what you are saying on the net we decided not to use the news and it went on facebook thousands and thousands but you are making choices in your life I am not specifying you as such I am saying people make political choices people make life choices people make extremely wrong choices you saw what happened about an air force officer who got honey trapped because of making friends on facebook now what was he doing he was using unfiltered information very very you know state secrets he was giving to an enemy through facebook so what I am trying to say to you is that it is wrong to think that all you are seeing on television channels and you are basing your judgement just on 4 or 5 channels because that is as much as we all manage to surf you are basing your judgement that all those 4 channels are politically motivated and you know I also want to say this thing that one channel might be aligned one way politically another channel might be aligned another way politically make that judgement what you want to see from both but even then you have little chance of making wrong calls as you have when you go into the internet and taking unfiltered unfact checked information and you might find this jahil gawar firstly jahil gawar is also my subscriber so this thing of jahil gawar being wrong sorry sometimes those jahil gawar people give me so much of information which is not BS so I refuse to accept that a gawar person is somebody to look down upon ok good one thing if I just want to add quickly in the US we have now verticals where people are like if you are attracted towards defence or cultural movies you just go to that site and you get all the latest news on that that's the other thing that's going on ok so I'm going to allow next two or three questions club them together and then see if which panellists would like to respond to them so you needn't point at a panellist put your name and your question on the block please can you come to the question Mr Bose please come to the question one question just one question and short just one question and short thank you thank you sir please I couldn't see from the light I deserve to be asked so my very quick question is I've been working now I'm very active on social media I've stopped watching TV completely now you're getting another side of the view I just don't watch TV for almost two months almost all my news comes from social media or I go into the internet and check out whatever I want I read newspapers once in two weeks what's your question so my question is this what is it so every sector is being disrupted it's not about media every possible sector business I'm doing has got disrupted because of technology and the same is true for media it's perhaps time for media to think and I'm not talking from the other side as to what is it they can give in terms of value what is it which they can provide the next level of what people are looking for and that is really the crux of this whole thing and where will you then get your money from that's one so value is one the second point I think Puneet mentioned it before I could but I think it's people are looking for niche areas now they want to get content of a certain kind that's the content they're looking for what we want is better and better journalists now are content specialised we don't want the general journalists who know just as little as practically all of us do so I think that really needs to change ok so Tarun has already answered your question in terms of broadband and the multiple streams that lie inherent in broadband and therefore specialisation better quality people etc yeah the next question I'll come back to you Hello I'm Ruvinder Singh I'm technology expert I've made two very most popular TV stories regarding fast meters and BRT much in advance you know everybody and they could have been improved and they could have been sold all over the world but you know the problem with India is that you know we are trying to politicise every story that's the biggest problem you know that's why you know our stories are not going abroad to manage our star news stories were covered by star news and ashtag they were you know highest TRP stories but you know they were not they were you know given political twist I don't see a question here sir the thing is that you know we have to technically correct stories you know thank you can we get a mic please right ok just the last question and then I'll let the panel take the questions in one go and let it be any compelling hand yeah ok I see a very enthusiastic show of hand thank you sir I'm Amar Anand I'm an executive editor in channel one I've developed a concept of event journalism my question is from Supriya Prasad there are two questions first one is how much government is in the newsroom second question is can the concept of event journalism be directly communicated from public to others ok so basically we have exactly six minutes six people here and the overall arching theme is newsroom 2020 let's get back to the whole thing you heard their views and now I would let each one of my speakers one minute each to tell us how this discussion should be thought through from their perspective and newsroom 2020 and by all means you can answer the talent agreement issues which Anurag has pointed out I'll take one minute because I've already asked a question I'll give it to him Zahil Gawar is a thought he doesn't have any status he doesn't have any status he's a murderer Zahil Gawar means that you have made the society or the country take the wrong path your thought is the same you are in the category of Zahil Gawar it's just the same for me no one is like that I respect every person the second lady said that every field has been improved I've stopped watching the television channel you can see
