If only NDTV would learn


Bal Thackeray, on a recent TV interview to Times Now, slapped journalism in the face with a stinging criticism of how the “fourth pillar” existed no more.
The News of the World, a paper 168 years old, closes on Sunday, because of its involvement in a phone hacking scandal.
The British taught the Indians journalism. One lesson that did not get through seems to be accountability.
When your job is to hold others accountable, you must first hold yourself accountable. And one slip-up and you lose the moral high ground forever.
Ms Barkha Dutt and NDTV are you listening?
