NEW DELHI - Journalists covering last month’s youth-led protests in India became targets of public anger and attacks over their perceived support for the government, exposing a deepening crisis of trust in traditional broadcasters.
In rallies across the country spearheaded by the online Cockroach Janta Party movement, protest signs branded TV channels as “India’s worst enemies”, and activists criticised “lapdog” media said to be aligned with Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s administration.
