In difficult times, the media play a critical role in providing reliable data and news. And the people of the Northeast rely heavily on national media to draw national attention to the region’s difficulties.
National media coverage of India’s northeastern states is very rare, apparently.
Many local media outlets in the Northeast have recently demonstrated a propensity to speak up on behalf of the people and to draw national attention to the region’s problems.
A journalist from Assam, for instance, demonstrated her commitment to reporting the unfolding crisis in and around Assam.
Preety Priyadarshinee, a journalist with News 18, went to many locations in Assam to report on the present flood catastrophe.
People of Assam are praising her for her bravery and dedication as a news reporter.
