What it takes to be on right side of facts

The Hindu  

Navigating powers in a conflict zone in search of truth is a daunting challenge for journalists. In the case of Kashmir, which has seen different phases of violent conflict, journalists could not operate without survival kits. Covering Kashmir in the 1990s, at the peak of militancy, required one set of survival kits to navigate warring parties’ intimidation and threats to control narratives. However, post-2019, when Jammu and Kashmir’s status was downgraded to a Union Territory and special status ended, control and fear became the new instruments for dealing with journalists. Dozens of local scribes have already left Kashmir, and many independent journalists have changed their trade in the face of tough times.
