EDITOR MISSING Hardcover

Ruben Banerjee's "Editor Missing: The Media in Today's India" offers a compelling and unflinching look at the turbulent state of Indian journalism in a climate of shrinking free speech and increasing polarization. Drawing on his extensive experience, including his time as editor-in-chief of Outlook magazine, Banerjee provides an insider's view of the mounting pressures faced by editors and journalists—from corporate interests and political interference to the very real personal costs of defending truth. The book highlights how India's national discourse has become deeply divided and how the media, often mirroring society's own schisms, struggles with issues of objectivity and quality. "Editor Missing" serves as a crucial account for understanding the challenges to dissent and the potential dangers to democracy within the world's largest democracy, urging readers to confront the precarious position of independent journalism in contemporary India.
