Paranjoy unfolds layers of disinformation

- Pranati Agarwal

In today's world where in the exchange of adequate data is at

it’s peak, it is vital to know the beast i.e fake news. To address

this pertinent issue, DME Media School hosted the second

lecture of 2019- BG Verghese lecture series on February 06,

in the Nelson Mandela Auditorium.

Mr. Paranjoy Guha Thakurta, a renowned Indian journalist,

political commentator, author and documentary filmmaker

was the keynote speaker of the lecture.

Mr. Thakurta addressed the audience on “Data and its

discontents: Political economy of disinformation”. He

underlined how mobile phones are no more just a medium of

mass communication but have become a medium of

personalised communication. He further highlighted that

internet is not only reaching the lives of those who are using

it but also the lives of those who are not at all aware about it.

While sharing world internet statistics, he said that FAAANG,

the six biggest corporations i.e. Facebook, Apple, Amazon,

Alibaba, Netflix and Google are controlling what we hear,

what we read and what we watch.

Mr. Thakurta pointed out that how media is becoming an

agent of the advertiser. He reminded everyone that in our

country, news and current affair programmes on radio are still

controlled by the government.

At the end of the session, the veteran journalist answered

some of the questions raised by the students and stressed on

the need to be aware and help others to utilise internet

correctly.

Dr. Ambrish Saxena, Dean, DME Media School encouraged

the students for puting up sharp questions during the

interaction. Dr. Susmita Bala, HOD, DME Media School

expressed her gratitude to Mr. Thakurta for delivering a

wonderful lecture on the important issue.

The session was a valuable learning experience. Mr. Thakurta

was greeted with a huge round of applause from the students

and faculty members for his motivating and thought

provoking words.

‘Unveiling Divya Malhotra’

Divya Malhotra a budding YouTuber with 9K+ subscribers, is a final year student of DME Media School. She has interviewed many eminent person-

alities in past two years including Ranvijay Singh, Rahul Makin, Gagan Arora, Pandit Birju Maharaj and many more to count in the list. Excerpts from a recent interview.

Q. How it all began? Who motivated you to start a YouTube channel?I started working as a contributor in Aesthetic Indian Magazine as well as for Navbharat Times. Tarun Gill, a famous YouTuber, motivated me to interview peo-ple and put it on YouTube. There was a school friend of mine who helped me in establishing my channel.

Q. What role DME played in your Journey?DME itself has done all these. DME has given me the strength to start my own YouTube channel and it is like a pillar in my life. Interestingly the name of my channel ‘Unveil with Divya Malhotra’ was given by one of my teachers, Sanchita Ma’am.

Q. How it feels when you are recognised by your channel?It gives me immense happiness as recognition of my channel has become my identity. My friends usually call me as ‘Unveil’. So it feels good when your work is being appreciated.

Q. One advice you like to give to your fellowmates and all the aspiring YouTubers?Always listen to your heart and never be afraid to follow your passion.

Q. One person whom you would like to thank in your journey?I would like to thank many and not just one because there are teachers who supported me and also people who demotivated me because of which I strived hard and proved myself. I would definitely thank my par-ents and of course the almighty.

Q. What was your educational background? Tell us when you decided to pursue Journalism?When people are in 5th standard they usually don’t know what they have to do in life but my mother told me that at such young age, I used to tell everyone that “I want to read news in Television”. So, I guess it was decided from then itself that I have to do something
