Over-enthusiastic Indian TV news channels have recently been exposed (that’s irony, news channels being exposed) for setting up people to generate sensational news. Four journos face jail for daring to take on a former chief justice of India.
It’s my thinking that in India, if you don’t get beaten up or jailed, you’ve failed as a journalist. Going by that maxim, in the UAE there will be only failed journos, now that scribes will be spared jail terms, courtesy a Royal Decree. So what would be fitting “retribution” for a courageous (or foolhardy) expose here in the UAE? Deportation?
