Ground Reports Life Vs Livelihood Explainers Fact Checking Society View this email in your browser Reporting on COVID-19: IPSMF grantees to the fore IPSMF’s grantees are in the frontline of reporting on the COVID-19 pandemic. Reporting from the epicentre of events, asking tough questions of authorities, providing explainers, busting fake news and dismantling disinformation. In short, exemplifying the role that the media should play in these extraordinary times - informing and educating the citizens; and keeping the government on its toes. We bring you a set of select stories, videos, analyses and podcasts from our grantees that have led and nudged the coverage. Ground reports The Wire Impact: Thane Hospital Doctors Finally Get Protective Gear The Wire’s correspondent visited two Thane-run hospitals and found doctors treating patients without any personal protective equipment (PPE) whatsoever. This when the area had eight COVID-19 positive cases. When the reporter approached the officials for their version, she was threatened with being booked under the Epidemic Diseases Act for “spreading panic”. Unfazed, the report was written and the hospital got its supply of PPE in 24-hours! A Covid-19 Patient’s ‘Strange Case’ Locks Down Kasaragod A man alighted at the Karipur airport from Dubai and stayed in a lodge in Kozhikode. Next morning, he took a train to Kasaragod, his home town. Back at home, he attended public functions, a football match, a local club and even hosted guests at a family function. Soon thereafter, he was tested positive for Coronavirus. Kasaragod soon reported six other cases, two of whom had come in contact with the man. This one man’s misdemeanour led to the entire district of Kasaragod being locked down, The Lede reported. India’s shift to insurance-led private healthcare weakens its ability to combat COVID-19: Experts India’s shift to insurance-led private healthcare, through the Ayushman Bharat scheme, has affected its ability to fight COVID-19. The Caravan speaks to a bevy of experts who argue that the private sector being based on the demand-supply model tends to be crowded around the major towns. Consequently, they will not have the bandwidth and the reach into the interiors when faced with a pandemic situation like COVID-19. वाराणसी: कोरोना वायरस स े देश म लॉकडाउन, रोजगार पर पड़ा असर In a deep-reported video story, Khabar Lahariya correspondent talks to daily-wage workers in Varanasi and Mahoba districts of Uttar Pradesh on how the lockdown after COVID-19 has completely brought their lives to a standstill, with rations fast running out and no assistance yet from the local government. Infodemic: As dangerous as the Covid-19 pandemic ‘Infodemic’ - the spread of fake news and disinformation on the COVID-19 pandemic is exacting a toll - in social and human cost. A Max Maharashtra video, anchored by senior journalist Nikil Wagle, dwells on the price being paid by migrants, those socially ostracised and the poor, as a consequence of the Infodemic. Covid-19: Milk supply under threat amid demand spike In the immediate aftermath of the shutdown, milk supply, critical to the nutrition and lives of millions, almost came to a standstill as migrant labourers started heading back to their hometowns, reports Down To Earth. Milk collection centres were shut and milkmen were barred from entering villages in several states, affecting supply. Co-operative units — that opened with the help of the administration suffered from lack of labour, as fears of unemployment led migrant workers to return to their villages and hometowns. The social sector response to Covid-19 In a unique story, India Development Review (IDR) crowdsourced documentation on how to manage work in the times of Corona. A must-read for organizations which are forced into working remotely - including dos and don’ts on working in the field and from home, what organisations expect from foundations, how to keep the organisational morale going, etc. The Print: Special coverage The Print has been on the frontline of the coverage with a special section on the pandemic spearheaded by editor Shekhar Gupta. From explainers, infographics, ground reports, the science behind the virus and its antidotes to the efficacy of the WHO and the role of China, the coverage has been comprehensive and deep. Life vs Livelihood The lockdown has raised the debate about lives and livelihoods. The lockdown may well save lives but it also pits the migrants, affected by the loss of livelihood, against the state. The grantees have been at the forefront of reporting on this unfortunate conflict. कोरोना िववाद म झारखडं म 50 साल के दकु ानदार की पीटकर हया In Jharkhand, four youths returned from Bengaluru and Hyderabad after the Corona outbreak. The local administration after a medical checkup asked them to quarantine themselves at home. The four youths disregarded the advice and started mixing socially. This was objected to by a local shopkeeper. Enraged, the young boys attacked him resulting in his death. The story from Janjwar portrays the social and human cost of the pandemic. Ground Report: Chaos at Anand Vihar as Buses Prepare to Take Migrant Workers Home There was chaos at the Delhi-UP border as thousands of migrants converged to take buses to their hometowns in the wake of the Corona shutdown and the consequent loss of livelihoods. The Wire reported that the stories of the migrants were similar – loss of jobs, no savings and not enough money for even food - suddenly left on the streets, with no social nets to cushion the fall. “We are deserted”: Migrant workers forced to walk hundreds of kilometres due to lockdown Naru Lal Bargot, a daily-wage labourer in Mumbai’s Borivli, is on a 700-km long trek to his village Lohagarh in the Pratapgarh district of Rajasthan. This is after the trains and buses screeched to a halt after the lockdown was announced. The Caravan recounts this epic journey - a graphic and stark illustration of the migrant’s plight. Explainers As much as the ground reports, it is important for the media to explain to the citizens the cause, the antidotes and the science behind the pandemic. An informed citizen is an important fight against the disease as it enables him to make rational and sound decisions to protect himself and those around him. India risks Covid-19 testing chaos as ICMR keeps cards close to its chest The lack of transparency from the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR), failure to involve private players effectively, insistence on 100% sensitivity for kits and basic logistical hurdles are hurting India’s efforts to effectively test people and fight the spread of COVID-19. The Ken’s Seema Singh explains why. Deconstructing SARS-CoV-2 virus that caused Covid-19 pandemic Down To Earth reports on the various papers that have been published on the deconstruction of the COVID-19 virus. This, it explains, is important as it is the foundation for finding a cure, even a vaccine. Epidemic Diseases Act, 1897 : The 123 Year Old Law Invoked To Combat Covid-19 The Epidemic Diseases Act, a special law dating back a 100 years, empowers the government to enforce stringent policies in case of a pandemic. The Act was enacted to combat the bubonic plague that broke in the then presidency of Bombay in 1896. It gives powers to the government to declare a region as “threatened” and invoke the authority to inspect, arrest and make special provisions for the afflicted. Very much on the lines of what the government is doing at the moment. Live Law explains the Act and highlights the penal provisions. How Do Scientists Model the Spread of an Infectious Disease? In the context of the various predictions on the prognosis of the aftermath of Covid- 19 and the fierce debate, The Wire brings you the story of how scientists model the transmission of infectious diseases. 70 lakh people in Kashmir have to make do with a grand total of 97 ventilators, inadequate ICU units and frustratingly slow 2G internet during the COVID-19 lockdown. Podcast platform Suno India discusses the dire situation in the Valley. It also talks on the plight of the farmers as the harvest season begins; the dual challenges of finding labour and harvesting machines in the times of the Coronavirus. Listen to their complete coverage. They have also published imaginative artwork that respond to people's FAQs on COVID-19. Fact Checking The pandemic has brought with it a deluge of conspiracy theories and misinformation. This misinformation could potentially hurt people and upend the effort in fighting the pandemic. The grantees have been in the forefront of busting these myths and keeping the citizens informed. The pandemic and the accompanying ‘Infodemic’ has created bubbles of fake news and myths. Do masks help prevent the spread? Is washing your hands with soap effective? Are places on latitude 40° the most affected by the virus? Does a 14-hour ‘janta curfew’ break the spread? A ton of other bizarre claims, theories and misinformation have been debunked by AltNews. Covid-19 breeding ground for conspiracy theories — here’s why that’s serious problem Believe it or not, COVID-19 is “a bio-weapon engineered by the CIA to wage war on China”, the UK and US introduced the coronavirus “to make money from a potential vaccine”. These are the conspiracy theories that were floating in the social media. The dissemination was so strong that the WHO had created a “myth busters page” to debunk these theories. Down To Earth analyses why the conspiracy theories and misinformation is a serious hurdle in the fight against COVID-19.

  • Gendered Violence and India's Body Politic
    manali desai GENDERED VIOLENCE AND INDIA’S BODY POLITIC he paradox of rape is that it has a long history and occurs across all countries, yet its meaning can best be grasped through an analysis of specific social, cultural and political environments. Feminist writing on citizenship and the state Thas long noted the relevance of women’s bodies as reproducers of the nation; it is equally important to think about the uses of the sexed body in a political context. A consideration of gendered violence as part of a continuum of embodied assertions of power can not only tell us how masculine supremacy is perpetuated through tolerated repertoires of behaviour, but also help us to understand how forms of class, kinship and ethnic domination are secured—and what happens when they are disrupted. Rape, Joanna Bourke has observed, is a form of social perfor- mance, the ritualized violation of another sexed body.1 This is no less true for such apparently depoliticized though grievous forms of violence as the now infamous gang rape of Jyoti Singh, a young woman returning from a night out in New Delhi in December 2012. In a country where complacency about sexual assault has been the norm, the uproar that followed suggested that an unspoken limit had been crossed. Mass protests across India expressed a very political and public anger with the institutional apathy and impunity of the estab- lishment. The mobilization of feminist groups and youth during this episode succeeded in generating a momentum for change, not least by challenging the stigma associated with reporting rape.

  • ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: MIND THE
    ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: MIND THE GAP: CONNECTING NEWS AND INFORMATION TO BUILD AN ANTI-RAPE AND SEXUAL ASSAULT AGENDA IN INDIA Pallavi Guha, Doctor of Philosophy, 2017 Dissertation directed by: Professor Kalyani Chadha, Philip Merrill College of Journalism Professor Linda Steiner, Philip Merrill College of Journalism This dissertation will examine the use of news media and social media platforms by feminist activists in building an anti-rape and sexual assault agenda in India. Feminist campaigns need to resonate and interact with the mainstream media and social media simultaneously to reach broader audiences, including policymakers, in India. For a successful feminist campaign to take off in a digitally emerging country like India, an interdependence of social media conversations and news media discussions is necessary. The study focuses on the theoretical framework of agenda building, digital feminist activism, and hybridization of the media system. The study will also introduce the still-emerging concept of interdependent agenda building to analyze the relationship between news media and social media. This concept proposes the idea of an interplay of information between traditional mass media and social media, by focusing not just on one media platform, but on multiple platforms simulataneous in this connected world. The methodology of the study includes in-depth interviews with thirty-five feminist activists and thirty journalists; thematic analysis of 550 newspaper reports of three rapes and murders from 2005-2016; and social media analysis of three Facebook feminist pages to understand and analyze the impact of social media on news media coverage of rape and the combined influence of media platforms on anti-rape feminist activism.

  • Empowerment and Transformation : a Case Study of Communication Skills of Dalit Women in India
    Paper 364 : Empowerment and Transformation : A Case Study of Communication Skills of Dalit Women in India Dr. Gowri Diwaker, Public Relations Officer, National Institute of Open Schooling, India Women are central to the development of rural areas and to national economies. They make up 43 per cent of the agricultural work force worldwide, and as much as 70 per cent in some countries. Often working longer hours than men, rural women are also the caregivers who look after children, the elderly, and the sick. In addition, many rural women are small business entrepreneurs and investors who dedicate most of their earnings to the well-being of their families and societies. But despite some progress, most rural women and girls are still struggling. They typically face more obstacles than men in gaining access to public services, social protection, decent employment opportunities, and markets and other institutions. However, if women had the same access to resources as men, they could increase farm yields. When women are empowered - economically and socially - they become leaders and agents of change for economic growth, social progress and sustainable development. India is a predominantly patriarchal society, which goes to add to the already existing unfavourable stereotypes established for women in our country. One wonders if the anatomy of women is the main reason behind the gender discrimination she faces in her day to day life. Lack of literacy and economic resources for women living in rural areas adds to the burden faced by them. They also lack representation and involvement in decision making which leads to their ongoing marginalized status.

  • Case Study of Urban and Rural Women Journalists in India
    Case study of Urban and Rural Women Journalists in India Md Afsar1, Suman Kumari2 1PhD Research Scholar, Department of Journalism and Mass Communication, FMeH, MRIIRS, Faridabad 2Associate Professor, Department of Journalism and Mass Communication, FMeH, MRIIRS, Faridabad Abstract In our country, women journalists, specifically those living in urban areas, have been successful in making a mark in the news media profession. Though, it is also true that the opportunities which rural female reporters gets are less in comparison to those women journalists who live in urban areas gets. Therefore, this also leads to the difference in their professional, economic and social lives. Furthermore, in our country, the perception by the society towards female reporters also differs for those working in urban and rural parts. Therefore, there is a need to present a case study of the experiences of the urban and rural women journalists. The aim of the paper is to present the study of the life of urban and rural women journalists to understand the differences between their professional, economic and social lives. The study will help in understanding the gap between the actual and perceived social, economic and professional conditions of female reporters. Keywords: Woman Journalist, Experience, Reality, Perception 102 1. Introduction Over the years, there have been a number of social changes in our country and the news media has played a vital role in bringing these changes. The news media has the potential to make the people’s views on the political, social and economic matters. The news media has also been a part of the journey in the empowerment of females in our country, especially of the female reporters [1,2].

  • Going Beyond Harassment
    ISSN (Online) - 2349-8846 Going Beyond Harassment Women Journalists in Uttar Pradesh KHABAR LAHARIYA Vol. 50, Issue No. 39, 26 Sep, 2015 Khabar Lahariya ([email protected]) is a weekly newspaper in Bundeli and Hindi brought out by a collective of women based in rural Uttar Pradesh and Bihar. The police may have arrested the man who harassed journalists of Khabar Lahariya for over three months but that is only half the battle won. In this article, the journalists share the everyday challenges in a deeply misogynist and casteist society. It is easier to crack one case than to combat the widely-held bias against them as reporters, who happen to be women. In September 2015, the police arrested the man who harassed five members of the Khabar Lahariya (KL) team over phone for the last nine months. This incident was by no means an isolated case, either in our work or that of other women journalists like us. Whether we are reporting, travelling or asking questions to those in authority, facing harassment is an everyday reality for us. Who Says We Are Reporters? The women journalists of KL have been lauded, awarded and written about ad nauseam over the years. Yes, we report, write, produce and distribute our own newspaper. But in the patriarchal and casteist society in which we live and work, are we really seen as reporters? On the contrary we are seen primarily as women, who, it is assumed, lack the requisite skills and qualifications to be a journalist. For instance, when we cover crime stories we are often told by everyone, from our journalist colleagues to the administration, that women should not be chasing dacoits through the forest; that it is not our area of expertise.
