Journalism has been the beacon that illuminates the truth amidst the shadows of ignorance. How true does this adage hold in a post-truth world. Writer and columnist, Bachi Karkaria, moderates a captivating panel discussion featuring authors and journalists - P Sainath, Sashi Kumar, and Barkha Dutt.  This BIC Talks conversation revolves around the evolving nature of human interest stories, the importance of grassroots reportage, and their collective reflections on their noble profession, which strives to hold a mirror up to society. However, the question looms: Has this mirror transformed into a sycophant, exposing irreparable cracks? Is the entire enterprise teetering on the verge of failure?
