Media Misworks

The Editors Guild of India on Friday said it was 'disturbed' by the recent turn of events with respect to reports published by news portal The Wire on Meta and urged newsrooms to 'resist the temptation of moving fast on sensitive stories'. https://www.rediff.com/news/report/editors-guild-advises-caution-as-the-wire-retracts-meta-stories/20221028.htm 

The statement comes after The Wire retracted a series of its investigative reports claiming Meta, the parent company of social media giants -- WhatsApp, Facebook and Instagram -- had accorded special privileges to Bharatiya Janata Party IT Cell chief Amit Malviya that enabled him to get posts removed from its platforms.

पिछले दो हफ़्तों से इंटरनेट पर फेसबुक-इंस्टाग्राम की मालिक कंपनी #Meta और #Thewire के बीच आरोप-प्रत्यारोप का दौर जारी है. द वायर ने अपनी एक रिपोर्ट में मेटा पर कुछ आरोप लगाए थे. रिपोर्ट में कहा गया कि कंटेंट मॉडरेशन यानी #socialmedia पर क्या दिखना चाहिए और क्या नहीं, इस नीति के तहत कुछ लोगों को विशेषाधिकार दिए गए हैं.

इन आरोपों को मेटा ने निराधार और मनगढ़ंत बताया. द वायर ने मेटा के दावों का खंडन करते हुए एक फॉलो-अप रिपोर्ट प्रकाशित की. इसमें मेटा के एक इंटरनल ईमेल के हवाले से दावा किया गया कि कंपनी ने इस आरोप से जुड़े तथ्य लीक होने की बात मानी है. लेकिन ये बात यहीं ख़त्म नहीं हुई. ईमेल की विश्वसनीयता पर सवाल उठने लगे.

Congress demands evidence from journalist Tavleen Singh on her statement against Manmohan Singh  https://www.thehindu.com/news/national/congress-demands-evidence-from-journalist-tavleen-singh-on-her-statement/article66036049.ece
The Hindu BureauNEW DELHIOCTOBER 20, 2022  At a debate hosted by Rajdeep Sardesai on India today on the topic “Is Mallikarjun Kharge a stop-gap chief”, Ms. Singh said, “Don’t forget we are dealing with a lady who could make the Prime Minister of India break the Official Secrets Act….she was no one in the government, to send her secret files.”  Congress leader Praveen Chakravarti, who was on the panel, objected to Ms. Singh’s comments asking for evidence to back her statement. “Somebody on your show, just now, charged the former PM of violating Official Secrets Act, either they provide evidence for it or they face consequences. That cannot go uncontested.”

Chidambaram’s denial
Mr. Sardesai announced that Mr. Chidambaram, who was watching the show, in a text message to him said, no such files were sent to Ms. Gandhi. When Ms. Singh was asked for her response, she said, “I don’t need to prove it, just go back to that time, there was a big controversy about it.”
