Series
ROM Masterclasses at U of T
Description
As a complement to the ROM’s inaugural Annual South Asia Lecture, the Asian Institute hosts a “ROM Masterclass at the UofT” with Mumbai-based journalist Sidharth Bhatia of TheWire.in. Bhatia will be leading a two-hour session with faculty and graduate students titled “Times are Changing in Indian Journalism.”
This masterclass will focus on how, in a large and diverse country like India, the media industry (newspapers and TV channels) is doing well commercially, while professional standards are declining and large media houses have become very pro-establishment in the last three and a half years. In this context, we will discuss how a handful of small media outlets, mainly in the digital space, are upholding professional standards.
