PLEASE SCROLL DOWN Barkha Dutt is Group Editor with NDTV, India's premiere news and current affairs network. She is one of India's best known journalists and television anchors and is also the youngest journalist to receive the ‘Padma Shri’, one of the country's highest State honours. In a career spanning seventeen years she has won over forty national and international awards for journalism including the Global Leader for Tomorrow award from the World Economic Forum, the Commonwealth Broadcasters' award for 'Journalist of the Year' and the Asian Television Award for "Best Talk Show." In 2012, she won “International TV Personality of the Year’ at the AIB (Association for International Broadcasting) awards in London and “Best Current Affairs Presenter” at Asian Television Awards in Singapore. Barkha Dutt emerged as a household name with her frontline war reporting on the Kargil conflict between India and Pakistan in 1999 (http://tinyurl.com/7nt9d52). Over the past decade she has reported from several conflict zones across the world, including Kashmir, Afghanistan, Pakistan and Iraq cementing her reputation as a fearless journalist who reports from some of the most dangerous places in the world. In 2011 Barkha Dutt spent the early part of the year reporting on the Arab uprisings in both Egypt and Libya (http://tinyurl.com/8yswjvy). Barkha Dutt is also the host of the weekly, award-winning talk-show, "We the People'' as well as the daily prime time show, 'The Buck Stops Here. Her Sunday talk show ‘We the People’ named after the first three words of the constitution (http://tinyurl.com/3cxq4hg) brings a 100 member studio audience face to face with the newsmakers of the week and has covered issues as diverse as politics, sexuality, gay rights and issues of national security. It is now the longest running talk show on Indian TV. On ‘The Buck Stops Here’ Barkha Dutt has exclusively interviewed a range of personalities around the world and at home including Congress President Sonia Gandhi and her daughter Priyanka Gandhi ; Pakistani newsmakers like Benazir Bhutto, Imran Khan, Fatima Bhuttoand General Pervez Musharraf ; Authors such as Salman Rushide and Mohammed Hanif, International personalities including Hillary Clinton and His Holiness The Dalai Lama , Aung San Suu Kyi, Tony Blair and actors such as Shahrukh Khan and Jackie Chan. She is a nominated member of the National Integration Council of India. Several Bollywood films have been based on Barkha Dutt's work, including the critically acclaimed film 'Lakshya'. She was also recognised as an ASIA 21 Fellow by the New-York based Asia Society and now serves on it's Global Council.She studied at St. Stephen's College, Delhi and the Journalism School at Columbia University, New York. She is also the first Meera and Vikram Gandhi fellow at Brown University. She is active on Twitter (@bdutt) where she is followed by more than nine hundred thousand people. BIG INTERVIEWS AND PROGRAMMES 2012-2013 The then US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, Britain’s former Prime Minister and Special Envoy to the Middle East Tony Blair, Myanmar’s pro-democracy icon Aung San Suu Kyi, Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif and Opposition leader Imran Khan and superstar Jackie Chan are just some of the key global personalities that Barkha Dutt, India’s best regarded television journalist, interviewed this year. And when India erupted in protest after the brutal gang-rape of a young woman in national capital New Delhi, Barkha Dutt ran a series called ‘EveryWoman’s Battle’ capturing the pulse of public opinion and putting lawmakers, activists and the architects of the new and stricter anti-rape law face to face with an enraged and enquiring public. When the flash floods ravaged the Indian state of Uttarakhand, Barkha Dutt sent live reports from some of the most inaccessible areas on the extent of devastation and the unimaginable heroism of the men and women in uniform who selflessly brought the thousands of stranded people to safety while putting their own lives at risk. PAKISTAN ELECTIONS When Pakistan voted in historic 2013 elections, despite a string of virulent terror threats from the Taliban, Barkha Dutt was there sending live reports from campaign rallies and polling booths along with interviews of the top contenders, Nawaz Sharif and Imran Khan. The election was historic because it was for the very first time that a civilian government handed over power to another democratically elected government. In an exclusive chat with Barkha Dutt, Nawaz Sharif, who went on to become the Prime Minister of Pakistan, took on the supremacy of the Pakistan Army saying the Prime Minister of Pakistan is the boss, not the Army Chief. UTTARAKHAND FLOODS COVERAGE In June this year, when Himalayan ‘tsunami’ flooded the Indian state of Uttarakhand reducing much of the temple towns of Kedarnath and Badrinath to heaps of silt and rocks, Barkha Dutt travelled to state. She anchored the special series on NDTV’s 9pm show The Buck Stops Here bringing all aspects of the story to the viewers. Barkha Dutt brought stories of families caught between hope and heartbreak, looking for their missing relatives but refusing to believe the worst. From some of the most inaccessible areas, she brought stories of heroism of the armed forces and the paramilitary, who had no luxury of grief even after losing 20 of their comrades in a chopper crash. She contrasted the selfless soldiers with the shameless politicians who made a beeline to Uttarakhand for a mere photo-op, even fighting over who would take rescued pilgrims back in their aircraft. Barkha Dutt’s tireless reportage featured live interviews with the Army’s General Officer Commanding-in-Chief of the Central Command, the Task Force Commander of the Indian Air Force and the Director General of the Indo-Tibetan Border Police, all of whom were overseeing one of the biggest peacetime rescue operations in Indian history. Barkha Dutt even received a personal letter of gratitude from the Chief of the Air Staff Air Chief Marshal NAK Browne for her unbiased and sensitive reportage. HILLARY CLINTON Barkha Dutt was among six anchors chosen from across the world to question outgoing Secretary of State at a "global townhall." In a candid chat, Ms Clinton spoke of the recent 35- year sentence for terrorist David Coleman Headley and the tragic gang-rape of a young student on a Delhi bus. She was also asked by Barkha Dutt about whether she will run for President of the US. Barkha Dutt’s persistence to get answers to her direct questions prompted Ms Clinton to praise her saying, “that is why you are such a good journalist, Barkha.” TONY BLAIR In December last year, Barkha Dutt interviewed Tony Blair. She asked Mr. Blair why the world seemed to be siding with the bully rather than the underdog in the Israel-Palestine conflict, and what he thought was the solution to the existential dilemma before the people of Middle East who had to choose between dictatorships that are less fundamentalist in terms of religion but are totally anti-democracy, and democracy which could actually bring more Islamists into politics. Mr. Blair’s views assume a greater meaning now when Egypt’s first democratically-elected government has been overthrown and the world’s democratic superpowers have maintained a stoic silence. He said, “The struggle was always inevitable. We need to support proper democracy. Democracy will moderate politics if it takes roots properly. We have to be on the side of open-minded people.” On Iran, Mr. Blair said, “I think the military option is the last one but I think it’s not wise of the Iranian leadership to face the West with a choice between the military option and nuclear weapons for Iran.” AUNG SAN SUU KYI Aung San Suu Kyi, one of the most admired iconic political leaders anywhere in the world, a symbol everywhere for the power of one, the power of hope, in a long winding chat with Barkha Dutt, talked about her struggle, her politics and what kept her faith in politics going during the long years under house arrest. During her historic visit to India after becoming a member of Myanmar Parliament, Suu Kyi, in this chat, gave an insight into some incredible moments of personal loss, not being able to meet her husband when he was terminally ill, separated as a mother from her two boys. She was also candid about how she was saddened when India deserted her movement for democracy in Myanmar. The interview encapsulated why Suu Kyi remains a formidable moral agent of change and as her husband once said in a book, the symbol of freedom from fear. IMRAN KHAN Barkha Dutt also interviewed Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf Chairman Imran Khan who led his party in the historic 2013 elections strapped to a hospital bed. She questioned him on the mistakes he made in the elections, what he now saw as the future of Pakistan and his soft stand on Taliban. Considered a media darling by the English-speaking audience and a representative of only the so-called ‘burger kids’, Imran was also questioned on what he thought of social media’s impact on mainstream politics in Pakistan. Imran Khan, in this candid chat, revealed how he felt let down by the Election Commission. He called the 2013 elections the most rigged elections in Pakistan’s history. Imran Khan was unequivocal in saying that the days of patronising the militia were over and it was time for a political solution to terrorism.

  • Khorana Peepli Live FINAL
    Peepli Live and No One Killed Jessica 66 Peepli Live and No One Killed Jessica: Remediating the “Bollywoodization” of Indian TV News Sukhmani Khorana Lecturer University of Wollongong Wollongong, Australia [email protected] Introduction: Evolution of “Bollywoodization” in Indian TV news In the third edition of her pioneering book on the Indian media business, Vanita Kohli-Khandekar makes the following observation: There are two media segments that define the contour, body and tastes of the Indian market. Television is one of them, the other being film. Both have a mesmerising hold over Indian audiences―and even over investors and advertisers.1 This article begins with this note because of the increasingly central place occupied by television in the Indian media sphere and the uniquely Indian context of the mutual interdependence of the television and film industries. While television has appropriated Hollywood film genres since its inception,2 in India, popular film culture is increasingly drawing on the pre-eminence of satellite television. A grasp of these facets of the subcontinent’s television story is essential before examining how TV news has taken on discursive and practice-based elements of the nation’s popular film culture, Bollywood. This will be undertaken through a close textual analysis of two recent Bollywood films, Peepli Live (2010) and No One Killed Jessica (2011). Both feature television journalism as an important narrative catalyst, or a remediator for the socio-political issues faced by the protagonist(s). In doing this, the films themselves turn into a remediation device for the Bollywoodization of news on Peepli Live and No One Killed Jessica 67 Indian television.

  • The Female Journalist in Bollywood Middle-Class Career Woman Or Problematic National Heroine?
    CRITICALviews CRITICALviews The Female Journalist in Bollywood MIDDLE-CLASS CAREER WOMAN OR PROBLEMATIC NATIONAL HEROINE? On the screen as in reality, female journalists in India have historically struggled to gain equality with their male peers. But a slew of recent Bollywood films depicting female reporters indicate that change may be afoot, as SUKHMANI KHORANA discusses. Growing up during India’s economic and communications ‘revolution’, my young mind revelled in the promise of a career in journalism that would serve both the aspirational self and the modernising nation. A role model emerged in Barkha Dutt, the LAKSHYA independent yet feminine reporter at the still-credible New Delhi Television (NDTV).

  • Changing Forms and Platforms of Misogyny: Sexual Harassment of Women Journalists on Twitter
    © Media Watch 9 (3) 437-446, 2018 ISSN 0976-0911 | e-ISSN 2249-8818 DOI: 10.15655/mw/2018/v9i3/49480 Changing Forms and Platforms of Misogyny: Sexual Harassment of Women Journalists on Twitter RICHARD REGO St Joseph's College (Autonomous), India Across time, in a variety of forms and spaces -from homes and workplaces to digital domains of social media- women have become victims of male dominance. So also are the other vulnerable sections that suffer multi-layered abuse, and endure sexual harassment in social media. Yet, this phenomenon is insufficiently explored. Therefore, this article argues that social media spaces have become domains for sexual harassment and subjugation of women. This article examines gender-trolling on Twitter as a form of sexual violence against women. Employing qualitative analyses of the Twitter conversations on Indian journalists, namely Barkha Dutt, Sagarika Ghose, and Rana Ayyub, it exposes the nature and form of sexual violence against women on the micro-blogging space, and argues that social media platforms constitute convenient havens of harassment against assertive women Keywords: Twitter, social media, women journalists, sexual harassment, misogyny In last two decades, the Internet has evolved as a platform for people to express themselves freely. Since the advent of Web 2.0, the Internet has given birth to many a social media platform like Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and blogs. These social media networks help create, curate, and explore content, generating discourses in the public domain. The Internet has not only opened avenues for inter-user communication but also given rise to deviant behaviour in equal measure.

  • Deconstructing Race and Gender for the African Traveller
    The Return of the Taliban: What Now for the Women of Afghanistan? By Rasna Warah There have been a lot of knee-jerk reactions – particularly from liberals – about the United States’ hasty withdrawal from Afghanistan. Those who oppose US military intervention in foreign lands say the withdrawal couldn’t have come sooner – that invading Afghanistan in 2001 after the 9/11 terror attacks on New York and Washington was a mistake and staying on in (“occupying”) the country was an even bigger mistake. They argue that US military intervention in Korea, Vietnam, Somalia and other places has been disastrous, and that these interventions reek of imperialism. Well and good. But everyone who has something to say about the poorly planned US withdrawal from Afghanistan, including the Taliban and President Joe Biden, has failed to answer these questions: What would the women of Afghanistan have wanted? Why were they not consulted before the US president made the unilateral decision to pull out troops from Afghanistan? And what gives Biden and the all-male Pashtun-dominated Taliban leadership the right to make decisions on women’s behalf? I was in Kabul in 2002, some three months after the US invaded the country and ousted the Taliban from the capital city. I spoke with many women there who told me that they were relieved that the Taliban had left because life under the misogynistic movement had become unbearable for women and girls. Girls were not allowed to have an education so girls’ schools had to be run secretly from homes. The Taliban were known for barbaric public executions and for flogging women who did not wear burqas or who were accused of adultery.

  • Public Memory, History, and the Global in an Age of Terror
    International Journal of Communication 9(2015), 1140–1162 1932–8036/20150005 The 26/11 Network-Archive: Public Memory, History, and the Global in an Age of Terror ROHIT CHOPRA1 Santa Clara University, USA This article examines the online discourses of public memory of the November 2008 or “26/11” terrorist attacks in Mumbai, India. The thesis of the article is that the 26/11 attacks were memorialized online in a hybrid “network-archive” of old and new media content generated by both media organizations and lay users, and that this network- archive is informed by a distinct mode of public memorialization in which historical responsibility is the criterion for bearing witness to terror. This mode of remembering may reflect a new kind of compact between memory and history. By analyzing the theme of 26/11 as “India’s 9/11,” the article shows how the relationship between memory and history in the 26/11 network-archive complicates understanding of the local and global meanings of acts of terror. In the online memory discourse of 26/11, the experience of terror appears to work as a bridge between local suffering and global belonging. Keywords: 26/11, terror, memory, history, Mumbai, network, archive, global, local, public Introduction This article focuses on online discourses about the November 2008 terrorist attacks in Mumbai, India. Perpetrated at 11 locations over three days, they resulted in 166 dead and more than 300 injured.2 The sites targeted in “26/11,” as the incident is now known in India, included the landmark Chhatrapati Shivaji
