Frank did good job as usual....I would like to share swami Vivekananda's quote to a foreigner..."In your country tailor makes a gentleman,in my country character does" ..let's not bother what the westerners and srilankan think of us...v r capable enough introspect and rectify our shortcomings....n if at all any foreigner has doubt about Indian media dn they are suggested to watch rstv for a month at least...
I am very eagerly waiting for India's journalists to report the negative news about the European and western countries, only negative news is what news is all about after all. Lets bring the negative side of the west to the huge outward looking Indian population. Lets build a perspective of the west based on criticism lets do it! By the way I feel obliged that I do this every day and hence bringing the true value to the term news. Come on people let us all 1.3 billion Indian population highlight the negatives of the west because indeed we people have some expectations from the west.😉
We should take these criticism in positive way n improve ourselves. No one is perfect but when we have chance to be better we have to take it as opportunity ..🙂
Bhagyashri Balpande but why only criticism about india some times it's frustrated me ....... There must be some positive news. As well which makes us feel good ..
Exactly. Criticism is one way of looking at our fallacies and then working on them to improve ourselves. I still don’t know what makes us lose our brains when somebody criticises us when instead we should be thanking the person validly criticising us so to fix our deficiencies.
This is how propaganda is done ... If you rely on foreigners to dictate agenda, you will always be colonised ... This attitude is what the great Malcolm X called "House Negro" attitude ... And people like Jeferry Gettleman are well-known racist, as has been exposed on Twitter many times ... Do white foreigners EVER EVER take criticism from any other country (especially from us dark ones) ?! That's why they are powerful and we beggars ...
A criticism would loose it's meaning if all you does is criticize someone......there should be some acknowledgement of good things happening in our country.... and they declared INDIA as most dangerous country in world for women without bothering to come to INDIA and conduct a survey......they just asked "548 experts" .....first you feed them all negative news from India and then ask their opinion, how dumb is that....... having said that i agree with you that we should take these criticisms in positive way and should improve ourselves....
the world remains "fascinated" by India he says. I think one reason the west criticizes India could be because they are still not able to digest the fact that India has not been balkanized in spite of this huge diversity.
john doe valid point there. However we still have miles to go to beat them economically given the fact that China has been giving loans as if its throwing peanuts. Trump today seems more intimidated by China than by us.
English is not our language if Tamil minister wants to speak in his language he is welcomed to address with open arms. They will have to keep translator or local reporters with them and we will hear the translated speech on news.
vijay yadav if th french correspondent sitting in the studio was speaking in french, and said that the studio should use subtitles, would her points be taken with that ease and seriousness? And I believe being understood is important than the language used. And for showcasing it to indians, they can always use hindi.
Yes therefore I am saying this is not matter of language but mistek of government like in China all government work they're doing in Chinese but translators are available in huge number and they translate in different languages
If it’s about language then briefings can be in both languages Hindi can be easily converted into English like it happens at global platform And most countries give speeches and briefings in their own language so what’s wrong if Indians speak Hindi
Chinese media doesn't use much English.. n their human rights records are known by everyone.. why foreign media doesn't highlight that.. economic and political interest decide image of countries in recent scenario
Too much focus on Hindi is not good. Either allow everyone to speak their mother tongues or brief media in English. Hindi is too over rated. Ideally we should be speaking in Sanaskrit.
Why should the PM talk in English? Mr. Narayan you are ignorant of the fact that we have many languages that are better than English in India. Learn another language mate!
better language? are you talking about sanskrit? why aren't you commenting in those better language bdw? or you are using english coz you are comfortable and want more and more people to understand what you want to say.
Aditya Narayan H When was this ever said? He's just asking them to interact personally. To give interviews (Of course they can give interviews in Hindi too. The fact is that, they only want to give scripted interviews). But, there is no need to deviate from the topic.
Aditya Narayan H No he didn't insist on anything else than, that ministers and officials are not interacting. I'm just trying to defend just that. Because all across the comment section there is this emphasis on- "so what if Mrs Swaraj spoke in Hindi." And getting all offended. Whereas that wasn't the actual context of the panelist.
Why is venkat Narayan target one language? All us know ,Europe is divide on the basis of language and all speak their regional language in their press conference ,so that mean we cannot hear these countries news and their achievement
I am agree with panel but we cant right this in our answer "Bharat mata ki jai" # reporter safety is real issue # rule of law vs law majority # clearly inform from govt missing. #inter nation interview missing govt point of view, only Arnob goswami able to do same lope whole # not cover in right manner western media unable to understand our culture ( 7pm rule of women, no one above god, log kya kahe ge etc. bajrangdal, cow ) ###### Dear friends if you think republic abp zee news channel are doing journalism then u are right ;)
during UPA also, no one asked money from me for doing any kind of official work nor I have seen anyone taking bribe till date. I dont know why people say that UPA was a corrupt govt.
-ve, -ve, -ve ... Were we a great country in 1947 when we were much poorer($439 per capita), illiterate(12% literacy), no roads , no ports, no electricity, no hospitals .. then hell with such development .. I am getting hysterical here.
The debate was good. The NYT guy made some interesting comments like relating the safety of journalists to rule of law etc. The comments of the Lady in the panel about safety issues of journalist who criticise the ruling dispensation were note worthy. The opinion made by srilankan fellow that hindi is a hindrance does not hold water. Hindi can be translated easily if the media person take initiative. And I also think that some of the media groups in the international news space are biased towards India (or may be the party in power today). But we can take steps to do whatever we can do from our side. The govt should really open up itself to the media outlets where ever possible (except national security) India's stance on rule based international order, climate change and Yoga have made news too which uplift India' image. Similar initiatives can be taken to reverse the present biases against India.
AJAYA ARJUNA KHANDAGIRI Carole says that there have never been any case of violence against the journalist in France but what abour Charlie Hebedo case. There have been many such cases, which are never given out in the public. So, much biase shouldn't dwell within a journalist.
I am very eagerly waiting for India's journalists to report the negative news about the European and western countries, only negative news is what news is all about after all. Lets bring the negative side of the west to the huge outward looking Indian population. Lets build a perspective of the west based on criticism lets do it!

Show started on India's ranking on various platforms (press, women safety and so on... ) and everyone was discussing the how foreign reporters are feeling in India and language barrier...first time I found show was not to the point analysis! Missing important points - why only India's negative side shown in foreign media, why not China, Singapore and other countries? --why foreign media focusing on the reports on which no one believes? (Most of the reports are published by Americans and British agencies... they are lacking the ground reality, using developed countries criteria for developing countries like India!) -- why foreign media covers more news on religious intolerance and concerning about the safety of minority and women in India? ( other countries much more intolerant than India... and woman safety issue is not only related to India its a global issue then why India....) -- Reports on Refugees --When India said It would deport rohingya... it was completely pictured in negative way without showing the facts... and what about the European countries and USA's stand on Refugees?
King of Knights its true! Rohingya themselves created problem... now entangled in it! But it is the half picture... we cannot blame all Rohingya community ( I mean look at the faces of small kids do they look like armed rebels to any neighbouring nations to Myanmar or to Myanmar itself?) when India took decsion on deportation of Rohingya it was in complete dilemma between humanity and threat to the nation's security... which foreign media misinterpreted as inhuman stance of India. Later on India helped Rohingya's in Bangladesh under 'Opration Insaniyat' as usual foreign media never showed this.
Visiting comment section was hard. I'm afraid we have failed to understand the Big picture here. Why u guys only took one point "Hindi". Okay, so do one thing search for states which have only one official language and it's "Hindi" , is there more than 3 states? No! Now search states where English is one of the official languages. What did you find? Most of the states!! Even all top tier exams in our country happened in English. So why praising hindi when it's dying from our society and system. I agree that western media is pretty biased portraying India but India govt should take actions like China did. Ban any foreign media to reach out poor parts of the country. And why our PM doesn't give any open interview, why is he so afraid and we as people have some duties too. Facebook is full of stories with shit about India and we are the one who creating these. We gave them opportunities to talk negative about us. First, learn to respect yourself then expect respect from others. Jai hind.
In this conversation I found that we need to have 1. Easy access to information. 2. If we know many languages then we should speak in which the listner is comfortable. 3. Yes! Journalists ( even our own External Affairs Minister is not safe on Twitter ) are not safe as they are in USA, ( see Stephen Colbert criticising Trump ) we need to value journalists and protect them by making Rule of Law more strong. 3. We need to have a thick skin if someone criticizes us we need to find positive things in that and improve. 4. There are lot of positive things about India but many things need to be improved and it is time that we correct ourselves. Any additional thing can be added below
I don't think hiring a hindi translater is much of a deal for NYT, its the least they can do for a large country like india. I think its hilarious. Also, there is something called leverage of one's power and money to influence the wider audience to further one's motives. Critisism should have the same effect/influence on both sides. Even if india/developing countries start criticizing the US on gun laws, black rights, foreign policies, ecological irresponsibility, i doubt it would effect the west in any way. The perception that is built by reports generally lack the backing of good amount of data. They use a small sample size of influencial people(or local biased media) who have no clue about the realities at ground zero. This perception then hurts India economically (tourism, businesses, foreign investments). Also there is a lot of false news about india, which the journalists should be accountable for, but they don't care coz that's their ultimate motive. How is that fair (with power comes great responsibilities).
Thompson reuters gave us last position on Women Safety ........... World Happiness Index ...... we are far back from Pakistan and Bangladesh ....... i mean this is the kind of hate and agenda that we as Indians face ......... well done bro ........

there was a time when the rajya sabha television was under VP Ansari and a little left leaned ...... but now you guys are doing exceptionally well ,,,,,,, I Love You ...... Pereira ,,,,,,,, the zeal in you against these biased foreign journalists is Nationalistic ......... kudos
We need to acknowledge that there exist a problem with India, western media is not always baised; journalist shot dead, shutting the voice of dissent is not good for democracy it's just making us more polarized.
Time to shut down Zee/abp/aajtak/newsnation and start watching Rajyda/Lok Sabha . At least debates are audible and clear , and guests who r invited are deserved ones . Not like ki - "Kya aap jante hai ki YOGI ADITYANAATH ke sar pe Baal kyu nhi aate" ?
Frank, the anchor should have shown a couple of ridiculous headlines like "'METEOR' BALL OF ICE THAT FELL FROM THE SKY IN INDIA IS MOST LIKELY HUMAN WASTE FROM AIRPLANE TOILET" to that NYT correspondent.
So you have to speak in English to create "good impression". Venkat Narayan is a good example of how British slavery still exists in the sub continent.
You people bought what Geoffrey said... You must have questioned him. Do you think people like Venkat portray India in better light, see how he started, either he is a fool or someone's agent...
Addressed to Frank: You cannot respond to a comment on death of journalists by claiming corruption among journalists. The worst journalists can misinform the public, but the worst politician/bureaucrat/business can get a journalist killed. Corruption among journalists, and death of journalists are BOTH because of lack of law and order. One irresponsible comment by Frank, a weak premise for debate, but a commendable choice of panellists.
Venkat is a great example what is the quality of media person in India. He doesn't know where to discuss his politics. I don't think like Venkat Jeffrey will discuss the politics of Donald Trumps calling some media house 'Fake news' in international forum being US media representative.
French journalist says that she being privileged has different kind of insecurity...so how can those 500 privileged who were asked by the foundation give complete picture about women's condition in India. So reporters without border published what 500 people in India think about what's happening here dubbing it as all of India.
It's sad that even after 75 years of independence, we still trying to convey our positions to outer world. Although the outer world does not have Damm idea about the position of India. India needs deliberation, fair discussions, fault acceptance in matters of religious concepts of one particular religion, and that is Islam. We phylosophical sons of India have produced the most inclusive ideas in matters of religion, like - there is one truth but to gain that truth the ways could be different, that means my faith could be right your faith could be right. But sadly Islam teaches there is only one truth ALLAH, and only one way to gain that by following (Sharia). Until we discuss this concept in fair debate there isn't gonna be credible media in India. We have to make Islam compatible to live with India, its sad after realising that existing for more than 1000 years Islam didn't become inclusive phylosophically and religiously. They still calls non believers as kafirs.
Some of the points raised by the guests are partly true like lack of access to ministers and government spokespersons. But Mr. Venkat Narayan and Jeffrey must be aware of something like pib, which releases all government communications in English also. Though I&B minister meets press occasionally, It's time to have regular or even daily press briefings by "PMO Communications Secy" on the lines of Whitehouse Communications director. The government should put it's perspective and show what it is doing, not just to foreign media but media in general.
According to a report, This country is most dangerous place to live for women in world. Rather than acknowledging our short comings people like Frank questioning about rising crime rate in US and UK. Our growth rate is relatively much higher. On why our PM don't face foreign media is what the hell he will tell when they ask about cow vigilantism or women safety issues?!
For your own news business you all foreign media will insult India. India is the best helpful country. Your media should have to think about England democracy. You know this news in depth as compare to me
I hate to break S.Venkat Narayanji's bubble west does not have free media its biased and biased doesn't mean free. If you disagree with what your company says they fire you. That's western media for you. Also to whoever says Indian Politicians need to learn English well Japanese, Korean and lots of Europeans leader don't speak English. They respect their own language and culture. There is a reason translator jobs exist. I am not bashing on anyone who does speak english. Heck i speak english. But a person should not have to learn another language for someone elses convenience. Most things Narayanji said is wrong. In western countries you can send as many emails and calls but the ministers don't answer unless it's something that will help them win another election.
We will speak Hindi only, get a translator. We are 1.3 Billion people, we know our strengths and weakness, we are united and all this negativity won't bring us down. Jai Hind.
thats the problem real issue goes to gutter he is focusing on why HINDI why don't anybody ask why russian german french they speak in native language even in eu
I thought journalism means to bring out facts and not broadcast your opinions. Opinion making i thought was best left to the viewer coz opinion in its nature is always biased. Aren't today's journalists trying to be opinion makers rather than facts presenter. How is it journalism when you have no clear idea about the country or its people but you make sure that you use your influence to form a biased isolated incidents(in a population greater than that of North America+Eurpoe),ill-informed opinion based on distorted/selective data, which has its bearing on the country economically(tourism, business, FDI, threat of sanctions as a trump card to control the weaker country etc.) With great power comes great responsibilities- it doen't seem to apply to journalism it seems. Why should i not question the journalistic community of being biased. Are they gods, even gods should be questioned in my opinion.
Thanks Rstv for this important topic that many others will nudge away... Yes western media still thinks us a land of snake charmers n cholera ridden public in poverty... N its high time we understand that their colonial mindset will remain the same... Never a western media says good about any past colonial nation... N yes this govt must give access to journalist more... Modiji please talk to media then just radio n speeches abroad.... Those QnA will help bjp only... N the nation as whole...
So I don't use English so you will dub me as intolerant. Pm modi communicate to citizens on daily basis but these media house needs privileged treatment and what for?? Isn't their work to report after fact finding?
I would call it a very futile discussion because the panelists here were clearly afraid to say anything fearlessly except the Indian journalist..What I understood from what Venkat sir said is that Indian government doesn't care that much about what foreign media/ foreigners are thinking about India which is okay for me if situation in India improves than what it is now..but as usual Frank did a good job..He just asked the question that needed to be asked and tried to take out the truth from the foreign journalists mouths..

Taking things into perspective - India is world's largest democracy of 1.3 billion people. Today it is transitioning into a developed country. With that said, as a journalist, should I focus on a grand scheme of things or should I focus on an outlier that happened in some corner of the country and provide a selective and a subjective picture about a complex religious and multiple linguistic India? When you do compare, do an apples to apples comparision, please.
I consider Mr. Jeffery gettleman 's comments in a positive way, since he seems "sensible " in his perspective. if speaking in our official language is your problem, then no indian media asked POTUS to brief us in hindi.. and finally we should reconsider the relevance of IB ministry and related press nd media governing legislations which are not in consonance to handle "nation wants to know stereotypes "
ya lets criticise the US about their gun laws, rapes, black racism, foreign policies whenever we talk about the US. Would it effect the US, i don't think so. There is something called leverage of money, and power to influence the wider audience to suit one's interests. So whenever your friend(a very influencial person) talks about you/ mentions you he/she should always criticize to the point that nobody comes close to you and you should endlessly keep introspecting yourself for everything he/she talks about, coz surely she is doing it for your betterment even if he/she uses you as a stepping stone to further his/her motives.

We can't judge india through mirror of Western... India has facing some basic issue insecurity ,chaos,poverty, indiscrimination and indian media should highlights those problems with ministers briefing govt. Efforts. At a same time india emerging with people like deepa karmarkar, manushi chillar, we have Our ISRO carrying forgein satelite,ISA, non invading Democratic country..we need to chalk out our problem with individually as well as a community efforts... # frank looking different today....one of the most intelligent anchor ..
Mr. Pairera what do you mean when you say "playing with fire". Are there limitations to where or to who a journalist should not investigate into. This is not your journalist talking I think, and it's sad.
Mr. Venkat, the Govt's job is not to do marketing or give interview series on foreign prime time tv. they have a country to run. And if you dont know the local language, how do you cover that area news?
Sir venkat 1 hi baat point kar re the language...language se kya problem h translator v to hote hai..haa ye sahi h ki goverment ko press confress kr k sahi cheejo pe emphasise karna chahiye..dear #frank parera in jese biased logo ko mat bualaya kijiye jo apni hi country ko galat tarike se represent karte hai..
This is one boring discussion, what are you trying to gauge? Frank, women in general are not safe in india or journalist are not safe in india? Which one is it. But i can tell you something, reporters do not report a marriage festival, they report if there is a dramatic event taking place in that event for eg. Fire, murder, thats how news reporting is all about. And with regards to safety of journalists in india, you may refer the data, with regards to women safety you may refer the data, compare them vis a vis western data, hullah, you get your answer. By the way, you are not asking those specifics either, your question is, why negatives got reported about india by foreign media? Venkat narayan gave you the missing puzzle, u want good reports? Feed the foreugn journalists the good data, but at the end of the day, bbc sends reporters to iraq or afhanistan not to report about how many movies they make or what kind of hobbies the politicians pursue? Wake up, dont blame the guests, clean up your house, the lady panel said it all, in france journalists do not get killed.
Here only one thing is true that our ministers, officials don't give an interview to foreign media. But language is not a problem as he said. I do not agree with jEffrey and lady as they said about India of threatening women journlist
I think western media is most biased and selective in the news profession ...Asia and Africa are always poor continents in western medias perspective...
One off events shouldn't be reported as heavily in the news. I feel like news should have a overall point around it IE: using statistics + an event to inform viewers that doing a this certain thing isn't safe. Because at the moment people who see the news don't get told" Hey that certain thing doesn't happen that often, according to statistics. so we're just informing you about it cuz we thought it was cool" 18:00 If we could ban the China shrills off the internet that'll be good step in lessening the perception that India is dirty.

These foreign media spread negative news about India but there is other than negative news which cannot be shown or spread by these media groups .And i want ro say one thing that if u can't spread good news then please don't spread negative news

ଭ୍ରୁଗୁରାଜ ପ୍ରଧାନ thank you for creating awareness....his talk seems anti Indian and anti centre... anyways.. thanks
yes it was anti centre (it's the job of every journalist)... but how was it anti indian ?

Hindi is not problem. there are many translator available in the market. Why we speak in English not in hindi.

why would in this earth someone bring a translator to each interview of a foreign minister

We should take these criticism in positive way n improve ourselves. No one is perfect but when we have chance to be better we have to take it as opportunity ..🙂
Bhagyashri Balpande but why only criticism about india some times it's frustrated me ....... There must be some positive news. As well which makes us feel good ..
Exactly. Criticism is one way of looking at our fallacies and then working on them to improve ourselves. I still don’t know what makes us lose our brains when somebody criticises us when instead we should be thanking the person validly criticising us so to fix our deficiencies.

Do white foreigners EVER EVER take criticism from any other country (especially from us dark ones) ?! That's why they are powerful and we beggars ...
Bhagyashri Balpande I appreciate it and your from by the way....
A criticism would loose it's meaning if all you does is criticize someone......there should be some acknowledgement of good things happening in our country....
and they declared INDIA as most dangerous country in world for women without bothering to come to INDIA and conduct a survey......they just asked "548 experts" .....first you feed them all negative news from India and then ask their opinion, how dumb is that.......

very good point that I didn't think of
john doe valid point there. However we still have miles to go to beat them economically given the fact that China has been giving loans as if its throwing peanuts. Trump today seems more intimidated by China than by us.
I agree with your opinion...
English is not our language if Tamil minister wants to speak in his language he is welcomed to address with open arms. They will have to keep translator or local reporters with them and we will hear the translated speech on news.
So what's happened if sushma ji speaking in hindi why Mr narayan targeting Hindi if government doing wrong tigrget government not to aur language
vijay yadav if th french correspondent sitting in the studio was speaking in french, and said that the studio should use subtitles, would her points be taken with that ease and seriousness? And I believe being understood is important than the language used. And for showcasing it to indians, they can always use hindi.
I think the technology is well develeped and have translators...And u say about Hindi then what about China,Japan,German who prefer their language
Yes therefore I am saying this is not matter of language but mistek of government like in China all government work they're doing in Chinese but translators are available in huge number and they translate in different languages
He is not criticising hindi . Just saying make translation arrangements ..
Nice work @rajyasabhatv as always..
NarAyan has cought right
If it’s about language then briefings can be in both languages
Hindi can be easily converted into English like it happens at global platform
And most countries give speeches and briefings in their own language so what’s wrong if Indians speak Hindi
Supriya i agree with ur point nd it should not be a way to approach this issue👍
Seconded you,actually he is biased and prejudice he went out of the context of question to make his point forcefully.
NYT is a big newspaper, cannot they keep a translator with themselves? if they cannot why they even bother to come to India.
Chinese media doesn't use much English.. n their human rights records are known by everyone.. why foreign media doesn't highlight that.. economic and political interest decide image of countries in recent scenario
Even entire Europe use their own language. They do not prefer english. This person is biased. Language issue is nowhere a issue.
I have never seen a Putin speaking English, Xi Jinping speaking English, Emanuel Macron speaking English.
sambit jena Does Russia and China gets positive press?
Frank : Western Media controlled by Business Typhoon. Is it really free ?
Foreign Reporter at 19:33 take my bullshit 🤣🤣🤣
Too much focus on Hindi is not good. Either allow everyone to speak their mother tongues or brief media in English. Hindi is too over rated. Ideally we should be speaking in Sanaskrit.
Remembering Rockstar Movie Dialogue -- "Negative Chalta Hai... Negative"
and that's what you are doing here. Instead of recognising problems, just blaming others and finding negative side of venkat.
Jeffery...made good points.
Why should the PM talk in English? Mr. Narayan you are ignorant of the fact that we have many languages that are better than English in India. Learn another language mate!
Atleast press conference for journalists,,
Samar Shah ,,pm never seen In press conference that's the problem.
john doe ,,it's not about perfect english ,,it's about facing press in india or foreign.
better language? are you talking about sanskrit? why aren't you commenting in those better language bdw? or you are using english coz you are comfortable and want more and more people to understand what you want to say.
India is a land of extremes, and Media loves extremes (usually the negative side ) and rarely the positive side
tarun kumar true
so true
Bhai clear kar thoda sa

Venkat Narayan is so smart that he can't learn to undrstand Hindi.
You don't get everything served as you want. #FrustratedNarayan
He's not talking about himself. He's talking about Ministers and other officials interacting with the foreign media.
Snehil Singh He is ok with french president talking in french or putin in Russian.....#Facepalm
Aditya Narayan H When was this ever said? He's just asking them to interact personally. To give interviews (Of course they can give interviews in Hindi too. The fact is that, they only want to give scripted interviews).
But, there is no need to deviate from the topic.
Gargi Thakur when he said sushma swaraj insists on giving foreign briefings in Hindi
Aditya Narayan H No he didn't insist on anything else than, that ministers and officials are not interacting. I'm just trying to defend just that. Because all across the comment section there is this emphasis on- "so what if Mrs Swaraj spoke in Hindi." And getting all offended. Whereas that wasn't the actual context of the panelist.
Why is venkat Narayan target one language?
All us know ,Europe is divide on the basis of language and all speak their regional language in their press conference ,so that mean we cannot hear these countries news and their achievement
Manmeet Panwar They are rich countries with good living standards.

Dear friends if you think republic abp zee news channel are doing journalism then u are right ;)
I don't know who does these survey. Never saw anyone. In my locality all woman are safe...see the reality around.
Jeffry well said
🤦🏽♂️
during UPA also, no one asked money from me for doing any kind of official work nor I have seen anyone taking bribe till date. I dont know why people say that UPA was a corrupt govt.
Kondorpa kumar borchetia achha
-ve, -ve, -ve ... Were we a great country in 1947 when we were much poorer($439 per capita), illiterate(12% literacy), no roads , no ports, no electricity, no hospitals .. then hell with such development .. I am getting hysterical here.
Why didn’t the grooming gangs issue in uk in which hundreds of girls were raped didn’t get international press?
The debate was good. The NYT guy made some interesting comments like relating the safety of journalists to rule of law etc. The comments of the Lady in the panel about safety issues of journalist who criticise the ruling dispensation were note worthy. The opinion made by srilankan fellow that hindi is a hindrance does not hold water. Hindi can be translated easily if the media person take initiative. And I also think that some of the media groups in the international news space are biased towards India (or may be the party in power today). But we can take steps to do whatever we can do from our side. The govt should really open up itself to the media outlets where ever possible (except national security) India's stance on rule based international order, climate change and Yoga have made news too which uplift India' image. Similar initiatives can be taken to reverse the present biases against India.
AJAYA ARJUNA KHANDAGIRI Our own people are our biggest threat to our country than any other foreign native.
AJAYA ARJUNA KHANDAGIRI Carole says that there have never been any case of violence against the journalist in France but what abour Charlie Hebedo case. There have been many such cases, which are never given out in the public. So, much biase shouldn't dwell within a journalist.
I am very eagerly waiting for India's journalists to report the negative news about the European and western countries, only negative news is what news is all about after all. Lets bring the negative side of the west to the huge outward looking Indian population. Lets build a perspective of the west based on criticism lets do it! By the way I feel obliged that I do this every day and hence bringing the true value to the term news. Come on people let us all 1.3 billion Indian population highlight the negatives of the west because indeed we people have some expectations from the west.😉
Show started on India's ranking on various platforms (press, women safety and so on... ) and everyone was discussing the how foreign reporters are feeling in India and language barrier...first time I found show was not to the point analysis!
Missing important points - why only India's negative side shown in foreign media, why not China, Singapore and other countries? --why foreign media focusing on the reports on which no one believes? (Most of the reports are published by Americans and British agencies... they are lacking the ground reality, using developed countries criteria for developing countries like India!)
-- why foreign media covers more news on religious intolerance and concerning about the safety of minority and women in India?
( other countries much more intolerant than India... and woman safety issue is not only related to India its a global issue then why India....)
-- Reports on Refugees --When India said It would deport rohingya... it was completely pictured in negative way without showing the facts... and what about the European countries and USA's stand on Refugees?
Array of Ocean Well said !
King of Knights its true! Rohingya themselves created problem... now entangled in it! But it is the half picture... we cannot blame all Rohingya community ( I mean look at the faces of small kids do they look like armed rebels to any neighbouring nations to Myanmar or to Myanmar itself?)
when India took decsion on deportation of Rohingya it was in complete dilemma between humanity and threat to the nation's security... which foreign media misinterpreted as inhuman stance of India. Later on India helped Rohingya's in Bangladesh under 'Opration Insaniyat' as usual foreign media never showed this.
mai har 1 -2 din me yahi search kartaa hu youtube pr 👉 " India in foreign media" ,
Kyu bhai
Vahiyat venket.
Visiting comment section was hard. I'm afraid we have failed to understand the Big picture here.
Why u guys only took one point "Hindi". Okay, so do one thing search for states which have only one official language and it's "Hindi" , is there more than 3 states? No! Now search states where English is one of the official languages. What did you find? Most of the states!!
Even all top tier exams in our country happened in English. So why praising hindi when it's dying from our society and system.
I agree that western media is pretty biased portraying India but India govt should take actions like China did. Ban any foreign media to reach out poor parts of the country. And why our PM doesn't give any open interview, why is he so afraid and we as people have some duties too.
Facebook is full of stories with shit about India and we are the one who creating these. We gave them opportunities to talk negative about us.
First, learn to respect yourself then expect respect from others.
Jai hind.
In this conversation I found that
we need to have
1. Easy access to information.
2. If we know many languages then we should speak in which the listner is comfortable.
3. Yes! Journalists ( even our own External Affairs Minister is not safe on Twitter ) are not safe as they are in USA, ( see Stephen Colbert criticising Trump ) we need to value journalists and protect them by making Rule of Law more strong.
3. We need to have a thick skin if someone criticizes us we need to find positive things in that and improve.
4. There are lot of positive things about India but many things need to be improved and it is time that we correct ourselves.
Any additional thing can be added below
Anil Tiwari well said
great.
i think you covered everything.
I don't think hiring a hindi translater is much of a deal for NYT, its the least they can do for a large country like india. I think its hilarious.
Also, there is something called leverage of one's power and money to influence the wider audience to further one's motives. Critisism should have the same effect/influence on both sides.
Even if india/developing countries start criticizing the US on gun laws, black rights, foreign policies, ecological irresponsibility, i doubt it would effect the west in any way.
The perception that is built by reports generally lack the backing of good amount of data. They use a small sample size of influencial people(or local biased media) who have no clue about the realities at ground zero.
This perception then hurts India economically (tourism, businesses, foreign investments).
Also there is a lot of false news about india, which the journalists should be accountable for, but they don't care coz that's their ultimate motive. How is that fair (with power comes great responsibilities).
The lady is talking like the politicians and not giving her honest opinion.
What about Charlie Hebdo shooting, Carole ??
Thompson reuters gave us last position on Women Safety ........... World Happiness Index ...... we are far back from Pakistan and Bangladesh ....... i mean this is the kind of hate and agenda that we as Indians face ......... well done bro ........
I hope that the Bureucracy has watched this episode, particularly the officials in PMO...

why Hindi actually...?
Hindi is not our Rastrio Language, because India doesn't have any Rastrio Language.
there was a time when the rajya sabha television was under VP Ansari and a little left leaned ...... but now you guys are doing exceptionally well ,,,,,,, I Love You ...... Pereira ,,,,,,,, the zeal in you against these biased foreign journalists is Nationalistic ......... kudos
Why should Sushma Swaraj speak in English? Never heard Angela Merkel or Putin or Shinzo Abe or Xi Xinping speaking in English.
Mr Venkatnarayan and Jeffery, both were candid and open. Spoke well. Said things. The girl answered diplomatically, I think.
Best part...Jurnos peacefully critizing Govt. (No noise) on GOVT tv. I wonder what would ppl like say about freedom of press.
Only country in the world where cows and buffalos are safer than humans 😂🤣 😂🤣 😂🤣 😂
We need to acknowledge that there exist a problem with India, western media is not always baised; journalist shot dead, shutting the voice of dissent is not good for democracy it's just making us more polarized.
Time to shut down Zee/abp/aajtak/newsnation and start watching Rajyda/Lok Sabha . At least debates are audible and clear , and guests who r invited are deserved ones .
Not like ki - "Kya aap jante hai ki YOGI ADITYANAATH ke sar pe Baal kyu nhi aate" ?
It is heartening to see that the Rajya Sabha TV crossed 1million subscribers. This is best media channel!
5.12 million!!!!!
Frank, the anchor should have shown a couple of ridiculous headlines like "'METEOR' BALL OF ICE THAT FELL FROM THE SKY IN INDIA IS MOST LIKELY HUMAN WASTE FROM AIRPLANE TOILET" to that NYT correspondent.
indian panelist is very negative.....he should not come today. all were jumping on one conclusion...
These foreign correspondents are really very uncomfortable speaking about the news they report from India, Does that give any Hints?
Jeffert really puts forward nice points! However, Frank doesn't seem his usual self
So you have to speak in English to create "good impression". Venkat Narayan is a good example of how British slavery still exists in the sub continent.
You people bought what Geoffrey said... You must have questioned him. Do you think people like Venkat portray India in better light, see how he started, either he is a fool or someone's agent...
Addressed to Frank: You cannot respond to a comment on death of journalists by claiming corruption among journalists. The worst journalists can misinform the public, but the worst politician/bureaucrat/business can get a journalist killed. Corruption among journalists, and death of journalists are BOTH because of lack of law and order.
One irresponsible comment by Frank, a weak premise for debate, but a commendable choice of panellists.
Venkat is a great example what is the quality of media person in India. He doesn't know where to discuss his politics. I don't think like Venkat Jeffrey will discuss the politics of Donald Trumps calling some media house 'Fake news' in international forum being US media representative.
The newtork times person was candid and spoke well great. The girl was balanced and answered diplomatically.
French journalist says that she being privileged has different kind of insecurity...so how can those 500 privileged who were asked by the foundation give complete picture about women's condition in India. So reporters without border published what 500 people in India think about what's happening here dubbing it as all of India.
It's sad that even after 75 years of independence, we still trying to convey our positions to outer world. Although the outer world does not have Damm idea about the position of India. India needs deliberation, fair discussions, fault acceptance in matters of religious concepts of one particular religion, and that is Islam. We phylosophical sons of India have produced the most inclusive ideas in matters of religion, like - there is one truth but to gain that truth the ways could be different, that means my faith could be right your faith could be right. But sadly Islam teaches there is only one truth ALLAH, and only one way to gain that by following (Sharia). Until we discuss this concept in fair debate there isn't gonna be credible media in India. We have to make Islam compatible to live with India, its sad after realising that existing for more than 1000 years Islam didn't become inclusive phylosophically and religiously. They still calls non believers as kafirs.
Some of the points raised by the guests are partly true like lack of access to ministers and government spokespersons. But Mr. Venkat Narayan and Jeffrey must be aware of something like pib, which releases all government communications in English also. Though I&B minister meets press occasionally, It's time to have regular or even daily press briefings by "PMO Communications Secy" on the lines of Whitehouse Communications director. The government should put it's perspective and show what it is doing, not just to foreign media but media in general.
India needs a global media house like CNN or New York times to put forward its views directly to International audience.
I like the instant when playing with fire actually created silence in the room😂😂😂
According to a report, This country is most dangerous place to live for women in world. Rather than acknowledging our short comings people like Frank questioning about rising crime rate in US and UK. Our growth rate is relatively much higher.
On why our PM don't face foreign media is what the hell he will tell when they ask about cow vigilantism or women safety issues?!
For your own news business you all foreign media will insult India. India is the best helpful country. Your media should have to think about England democracy. You know this news in depth as compare to me
I hate to break S.Venkat Narayanji's bubble west does not have free media its biased and biased doesn't mean free.
If you disagree with what your company says they fire you. That's western media for you.
Also to whoever says Indian Politicians need to learn English well Japanese, Korean and lots of Europeans leader don't speak English. They respect their own language and culture.
There is a reason translator jobs exist.
I am not bashing on anyone who does speak english. Heck i speak english.
But a person should not have to learn another language for someone elses convenience.
Most things Narayanji said is wrong. In western countries you can send as many emails and calls but the ministers don't answer unless it's something that will help them win another election.
We will speak Hindi only, get a translator. We are 1.3 Billion people, we know our strengths and weakness, we are united and all this negativity won't bring us down. Jai Hind.
thats the problem real issue goes to gutter he is focusing on why HINDI why don't anybody ask why russian german french they speak in native language even in eu
I thought journalism means to bring out facts and not broadcast your opinions. Opinion making i thought was best left to the viewer coz opinion in its nature is always biased. Aren't today's journalists trying to be opinion makers rather than facts presenter.
How is it journalism when you have no clear idea about the country or its people but you make sure that you use your influence to form a biased isolated incidents(in a population greater than that of North America+Eurpoe),ill-informed opinion based on distorted/selective data, which has its bearing on the country economically(tourism, business, FDI, threat of sanctions as a trump card to control the weaker country etc.)
With great power comes great responsibilities- it doen't seem to apply to journalism it seems.
Why should i not question the journalistic community of being biased. Are they gods, even gods should be questioned in my opinion.
RStv please make series on ancient india ,"Mahajanpads,Maurya ,Gupta,Foreign invaders after Mauryas,Indo Greeks,Shakas,Parthians,Kushans"....
Thanks Rstv for this important topic that many others will nudge away... Yes western media still thinks us a land of snake charmers n cholera ridden public in poverty... N its high time we understand that their colonial mindset will remain the same... Never a western media says good about any past colonial nation... N yes this govt must give access to journalist more... Modiji please talk to media then just radio n speeches abroad.... Those QnA will help bjp only... N the nation as whole...
So I don't use English so you will dub me as intolerant. Pm modi communicate to citizens on daily basis but these media house needs privileged treatment and what for??
Isn't their work to report after fact finding?
I would call it a very futile discussion because the panelists here were clearly afraid to say anything fearlessly except the Indian journalist..What I understood from what Venkat sir said is that Indian government doesn't care that much about what foreign media/ foreigners are thinking about India which is okay for me if situation in India improves than what it is now..but as usual Frank did a good job..He just asked the question that needed to be asked and tried to take out the truth from the foreign journalists mouths..

Taking things into perspective - India is world's largest democracy of 1.3 billion people. Today it is transitioning into a developed country. With that said, as a journalist, should I focus on a grand scheme of things or should I focus on an outlier that happened in some corner of the country and provide a selective and a subjective picture about a complex religious and multiple linguistic India? When you do compare, do an apples to apples comparision, please.
I consider Mr. Jeffery gettleman 's comments in a positive way, since he seems "sensible " in his perspective. if speaking in our official language is your problem, then no indian media asked POTUS to brief us in hindi..
and finally we should reconsider the relevance of IB ministry and related press nd media governing legislations which are not in consonance to handle "nation wants to know stereotypes "
ya lets criticise the US about their gun laws, rapes, black racism, foreign policies whenever we talk about the US. Would it effect the US, i don't think so. There is something called leverage of money, and power to influence the wider audience to suit one's interests. So whenever your friend(a very influencial person) talks about you/ mentions you he/she should always criticize to the point that nobody comes close to you and you should endlessly keep introspecting yourself for everything he/she talks about, coz surely she is doing it for your betterment even if he/she uses you as a stepping stone to further his/her motives.
Thanks a lot frank for this type of healthy debate ....we must take panalist's suggestion wisely and think about it.

We can't judge india through mirror of Western... India has facing some basic issue insecurity ,chaos,poverty, indiscrimination and indian media should highlights those problems with ministers briefing govt. Efforts. At a same time india emerging with people like deepa karmarkar, manushi chillar, we have Our ISRO carrying forgein satelite,ISA, non invading Democratic country..we need to chalk out our problem with individually as well as a community efforts...
# frank looking different today....one of the most intelligent anchor ..
Venket narayan loves English. He would love to live in UK.
Mr. Pairera what do you mean when you say "playing with fire". Are there limitations to where or to who a journalist should not investigate into. This is not your journalist talking I think, and it's sad.
Mr. Venkat, the Govt's job is not to do marketing or give interview series on foreign prime time tv. they have a country to run. And if you dont know the local language, how do you cover that area news?
Great show rstv ...and FRANK looking forward for more such interesting discussions.
Sir venkat 1 hi baat point kar re the language...language se kya problem h translator v to hote hai..haa ye sahi h ki goverment ko press confress kr k sahi cheejo pe emphasise karna chahiye..dear #frank parera in jese biased logo ko mat bualaya kijiye jo apni hi country ko galat tarike se represent karte hai..
Hindi plz.
It's not that i don't understand English.
This is one boring discussion, what are you trying to gauge? Frank, women in general are not safe in india or journalist are not safe in india? Which one is it. But i can tell you something, reporters do not report a marriage festival, they report if there is a dramatic event taking place in that event for eg. Fire, murder, thats how news reporting is all about. And with regards to safety of journalists in india, you may refer the data, with regards to women safety you may refer the data, compare them vis a vis western data, hullah, you get your answer. By the way, you are not asking those specifics either, your question is, why negatives got reported about india by foreign media? Venkat narayan gave you the missing puzzle, u want good reports? Feed the foreugn journalists the good data, but at the end of the day, bbc sends reporters to iraq or afhanistan not to report about how many movies they make or what kind of hobbies the politicians pursue? Wake up, dont blame the guests, clean up your house, the lady panel said it all, in france journalists do not get killed.
The point of speaking in Hindi, i support it. The argument does not hold good and shows that the speaker has inferiority complex.
Here only one thing is true that our ministers, officials don't give an interview to foreign media. But language is not a problem as he said. I do not agree with jEffrey and lady as they said about India of threatening women journlist
Journalist are safe in India so don't spread hoxe news
I think western media is most biased and selective in the news profession ...Asia and Africa are always poor continents in western medias perspective...
It was a nicely articulated talk.. probably because they were all journalists
One off events shouldn't be reported as heavily in the news. I feel like news should have a overall point around it IE: using statistics + an event to inform viewers that doing a this certain thing isn't safe. Because at the moment people who see the news don't get told" Hey that certain thing doesn't happen that often, according to statistics. so we're just informing you about it cuz we thought it was cool" 18:00 If we could ban the China shrills off the internet that'll be good step in lessening the perception that India is dirty.
Doesn't matter if rankings are biased or not..we indians have the responsibility to improve on these indicators.
Exept in villeges i never saw a cow on road although I am living in small city called Latur shame on western media
It was a good experience to hearing a good debate like that. Thanks to rstv.

Come on lets highlight the negatives of the west cause we have expectations from the west

These foreign media spread negative news about India but there is other than negative news which cannot be shown or spread by these media groups .And i want ro say one thing that if u can't spread good news then please don't spread negative news
