“Media misadventures”

The recent Indo-Pak hostilities didn’t just reveal the faultlines at the border, but also exposed deep crevices in the TV newsrooms. Though Operation Sindoor was a magnificent military retort by India, the social media turned it into a big-scale spectacle. One is amazed how the misinformation campaign spreading falsehood overtook Indian newsrooms in the midst of Indo-Pak conflict. This has hit the credibility of free press in the country to the hilt.
