FOURTH RIGHT: Save the Post or Save the Optics?

By Pragadish Kirubakaran in Media News on
Image edited by Dinesh Raj M   Today's story isn't about whether The Washington Post is “throwing out” its India staff. It isn’t. Not yet.

Foreign bureaus, including New Delhi, are firmly in the firing line. And for once, journalists aren’t whispering in corridors or drafting polite internal memos. They’ve gone public. Loudly. The #SaveThePost campaign, fronted by India bureau chief Pranshu Verma, is an unusual sight, especially for Indian journalists. Verma’s argument is clear and emotionally sharp. In a media ecosystem where accountability reporting attracts state pressure, legal risk, and commercial retaliation, foreign outl

THE BRIEF: Full serve

By Tony Bosworth in Media News on
Welcome to Monday and today's best headline award goes to The Age with a brilliant picture of Australian Open Women's Champion Elena Rybakina and that story in detail inside the print edition by Hannah Kennelly this morning. Of course print deadlines were not kind to the Men's Final between Novak Djokovic and Carlos Alcaraz which was played out last night and was a gripper. Guardian Australia is among the digital titles to run that story, with a picture this morning by Aaron Favila and a story by Tumaini Carayol.    Melbourne tabloid the Herald Sun also goes big on the women's champ ('RYBAKINA PAINTS THE TOWN RED') and a full length picture of Ms Rybakina on page 1 of the print edition. That story by Rebecca Williams. Also on the Sun's front page, a story by Regan Hodge ('NEW DEZI HUNT') on yet another attempt to find alleged cop killer Dezi Freeman. Remember him? You could be forgiven for being a hit ha
