TV Newsance 167: How TV news covered Alia weds Ranbir, and Ram Navami violence

Channels had a field day covering all the excitement around the wedding of the year – Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt. It was all over TV news, with minute details on what the bride wore, the guest list, menu, decor and so on. Special mention to India Today’s investigative journalism that gave us a peek into the couple’s future.

Meanwhile, JNU was back in focus for violence over eating chicken on Ram Navami. Sudhir Chaudhary and Arnab Goswami went into the realm of possibilities while discussing the issue and we found out that Arnab was quite empathetic when he was in college. Over the past one week, disturbing news of violence on the day of Ram Navami made headlines. We dissect how the issue was covered and why it’s important for people to follow authentic news sources while we try and understand violence and communal clashes.
