Former Times Now editor-in-chief Arnab Goswami was one of the speakers at India Ideas Conclave 2016 (4-5 November), organised by New Delhi-based think tank, India Foundation.
At the event, Goswami articulated passionately his vision for the future of Indian journalism. He started by criticising his fraternity.
Adopting one of the sub-themes of the conclave, ‘dissent’, Goswami spoke of his desire to dissent against journalism as it operates today and possibly give it a new place.
“That is an idea whose time has come,” he said.
He spoke of the wave of change that will shake up journalism in the future.
He then proceeded to present his “broad vision” for the next three to five years.
Goswami’s five-point vision
1. Disrupting the mirage that India has an independent media, and putting in place a real independent media
2. Making sure that the monopoly of money is broken in Indian journalism
3. Breaking out of the bubble of conventional content centres and letting his journalism define news readers
4. Redefining news gathering and engagement
5. Going global
Telling the audience that “the future will be explosive, fearless and uncompromising”, he asked for people to be optimistic about the future.
“The big disruption is now about to come,” he said.
