'Hacking Indian Journalism for Fun and Profit'

http://broadmind.nationalinterest.in/2013/12/26/hacking-indian-journalism-for-fun-and-profit/

A critical inquiry into the ever-present media metanarrative and the
esotericism of conversations in a brave, new and inordinately
connected world. A comparative assessment of the dynamics which may
affect Indian journalism, post-Tehelka. A unique take on the inherent
subjectivity in all of that.

This is cyber-anthropology 101, pointing towards the effect of the
hacker counterculture of the 80's in shaping the radical ethos of
social media.

It also ruminates on the shapeshifting within the global media
industry, like the acquisitions of WashPo, NSFW; the Omidyar-Greenwald
venture; Guardian's convergence journalism in the NSA story and NYT's
Snowfall, etc.
