‘Bogus’ quotes and a 'misrepresented' meeting: Journalists disown govt report on ‘setting the narrative’ -Ayush Tiwari

-Newslaundry.com

Newslaundry spoke to journalists named in a group of ministers’ report on ‘government communication’. Here’s what they have to say.

In June 2020, the Narendra Modi government reached out to “prominent persons from the media field” to help identify strategies to effectively communicate “10 big narratives of the government”. The initiative, led by a group of union ministers who were “guided” by the prime minister, summarised recommendations in a report that was submitted to the cabinet secretariat later that year.

The report, parts of which have been accessed by Newslaundry, claimed that the Centre “consulted” with journalists and editors, including Shekhar Iyer, former political editor of Deccan Herald; Abhijit Majumdar, editor in chief of Earshot.in; Nitin Gokhale, editor in chief of Strategic News Global; and Anant Vijay, associate editor of Dainik Jagran.

It mentioned “observations” and “comments” purportedly given by former journalists such as Kanchan Gupta, Ashok Malik, Swapan Dasgupta, Surya Prakash, Sunil Raman, and Ashok Tandon.
