Description

In an era of corporate journalism, the media industry is willing to experiment with the irrational and the perverse. Youngsters across news channels are fed on the diet of crime, sleaze and entertainment, their baptism complete only when they have touched the new high of grounding a news story at the altar of TRP.

Newsroom Live attempts to capture the shenanigans of the newsroom and its illicit relationship with power corridors and corporate sharks.

PRABHAT SHUNGLU began as a reporter with The Statesman and later worked for the Times of India before switching to TV news. He has reported extensively from the war zones of Kargil (1999), Afghanistan (2001-2002) and Iraq (2003), on national disasters like the cyclone in eastern state of Orissa (2000) and the Gujarat earthquake (2001), on national and provincial elections and interviewed several political personalities including the Prime Minister and the Defence Minister of India.

He has also worked with Aaj Tak, India’s number 1 news channel, and headed the Super Bureau, Star News for three years. His last assignment was with Network 18 as Editor, Special Assignments.

He has a weekly column in Hindi in a reputed national daily, and a monthly column for South Asia Times, published out of Melbourne.

The author’s first book, The Mask is a collection of essays on politics and contemporary issues. Newsroom Live is his second book and his first work of fiction.
