The biggest news media story of the year gone by is Prannoy and Radhika Roy walking away from NDTV as the new owner, the Adani Group, walked in. Their dignified parting note is a fine insight into how they’ve approached their journalism. In the highly strung world of news television, their calm is a rarity.
As this epoch in Indian journalism ends, it nudges me to look at my own interactions with the Roys over more than three decades — from the day Prannoy came to India Today with his idea of an opinion poll for the 1984 general election.
