I must say the quality of defence news reporting in India is still extremely poor & unprofessional. The english news channels does a relatively better job, but the Hindi channels are very very poor. They choose to concentrate more on the jingoistic fervour rather than information.
i thought NDTV had a defence correspondent..... some one is there after Ajai Shukla left ndtv!.....oh where is that girl.....Ms Kargil Dutt!
She is not their defence correspondent. Vishnu Som is their defence correspondent & he is good. There is also Shiv Aroor with Headlines Today. Apart from these two, I cannot think of any.
oh i forgot, she is their WAR correspondent! recently was in libya! there is one more guy besides Vishnu Som, could anyone help me out?
