Radhika Ramaseshan

I have been a journalist in India for over 30 years and worked from various parts of the country including the conflict zones. Mt last job was as Political Editor in "The Telegraph". Presently, I am a Consulting Editor with the "Business Standard". Although a business paper, I cover politics that is my main forte. My interest in media education was spurred by the changing dynamics in media and the gradual transformation to the digital mode that I find challenging, exciting and exasperating at times. An offshoot of digital media, at least in India, has been the emergence of "fake" news that has upended all the norms I grew up on, anchored in the conviction of facts being sacrosanct. A forum like yours will hopefully enable me to familiarise with the media trends in other parts of the world, identify common features and challenges and seek resolutions.
