Arnab is back. A single man brand who is defining right wing media in his own image, as he always did. The firmament of right wing media with Rajat Sharma, WION, NewsX and Republic is tilting the liberal media to take a backstage. The right wing intelligentsia is shaping up too with Swapan Da, Hindol Da and Sanjeev Sanyal along with the India Foundation crew going beyond ‘cultural exclusivists and unrefined nationalists’ in the words of the OPEN Magazine editorial, the May 6th edition currently on the stands.
Republic. with its decentralised non Delhi centric news model is a distinct brand differentiator. Other English News Channels will have a run for their money, although I would have preferred a better design appeal.
