The RW thinks #PrannoyRoy is a pitiable figure in this photo🤦🏽‍♀️That's because of their ignorant view that ground reporting is the work of juniors, and that anchors are bosses🤦🏽‍♀️"At this age" or any other age, true-blue journalists never want to stop going out into the field.

Hello @BJP4India, @BJP4TamilNadu @NitinNabin Remember your campaign against Tamilans during the Odisha election?

Pattukottai Kalyanasundaram continues to be a model for how a lyricist could function with political awareness and purpose. Building on Udumalai Narayana Kavi’s legacy, and drawing more directly from Marxist ideas, he captured working-class sensibilities like no one else did.

நான் தான் உங்கள் அவிநாசி திமுக வேட்பாளர் ..! Here’s Dr. Gokilamani, the youngest DMK candidate contesting in Avinashi Constituency.

Qn: AIADMK general secretary Edappadi K Palaniswami says the elections are for Tamil Nadu and you are targeting Delhi to deflect from the government’s failures. How do you respond? M K Stalin: If there is no interference of Delhi in Tamil Nadu’s election, why did Palaniswami run to Delhi even for the seat-sharing talks of their alliance.

In Neelira, there is one moment. Small and easy to miss. As Indian soldiers enter a house, the women rush to another room. They come back wearing men’s shirts pulled over their clothing. The film never explains it. It doesn’t need to. Everyone watching knows exactly why.

எடப்பாடி பழனிசாமியின் அநாகரிகப் பேச்சுகள், விஜய்யின் நெல்லை கூட்டம் ஆகியவற்றால் திருப்பரங்குன்றம் விவகாரம் அதிகம் கவனம்பெறவில்லை. திருப்பரங்குன்றம் பிரச்சினையில் ஜி.ஆர்.சுவாமிநாதனின் தீர்ப்பை நிறைவேற்ற முடியாது என்பதில் தி.மு.க அரசு உறுதியாக நின்றது. ‘நீதிமன்றத் தீர்ப்பை நிறைவேற்றாமல் பிரச்சினையைப் பெரிதாக்கியது தி.மு.க அரசுதான்’ என்று சட்டவாதம் பேசியது அ.தி.மு.க. பாம்பும் சாகாமல், தடியும் உடையாமல் நிலைப்பாடு எடுத்தது நாம் தமிழர் கட்சி. ஒருபடி மேலே போய் ‘இது தி.மு.கவும் பா.ஜ.கவும் நடத்தும் நாடகம்’ என்றது த.வெ.க. ராம ரவிக்குமாரும் ஹெச்.ராஜாவும் தி.மு.க அரசை சபித்தார்கள். ஜி.ஆர்.சுவாமிநாதன் தன் சட்ட அதிகாரங்களைத் தாண்டி அரசியல்வாதியாகவே நடந்துகொண்டார். ஆனாலும் தி.மு.க அரசு தன் உறுதியை தளர்த்தவில்லை. இப்போது சென்னை உயர்நீதிமன்றத்தின் மதுரை கிளை ஜி.ஆர்.சுவாமிநாதனுக்கு கடிவாளம் போட்டிருக்கிறது. ‘தீபம் ஏற்ற அனுமதிக்க வேண்டும்’ என்று பொதுநல வழக்கு தொடுத்தவரை கடுமையாக எச்சரித்து அபராதம் விதித்திருக்கிறது. ஜி.ஆர்.சுவாமிநாதனின் பிடிவாதத்துக்கு தமிழ்நாடு அரசு கொஞ்சம் வளைந்து கொடுத்திருந்தாலே அடுத்த அயோத்திக்கான விதை விதைக்கப்பட்டிருக்கும். இந்த சட்டமன்றத் தேர்தலில் தி.மு.க கூட்டணி வெல்லலாம்; வெல்லாமல் போகலாம். ஆனால் ஓர் அபாயகரமான மதவாத செயல்திட்டத்தை தடுத்து நிறுத்தியதில் தி.மு.க அரசு வென்றிருக்கிறது; தமிழ்நாடு வென்றிருக்கிறது.

Never really imagined that I would one day hold in my hands a book I authored. And, that moment had to be recorded. Thus was filmed my first ever unboxing video, of my book, in which I have poured out all that I love about Malayalam cinema (and ofcourse things which I don't like too).

It's wonderful to see @APunnaivalavan - a voice who has always stood out in the Tamil YouTube space, making his presence felt on television. A young journalist with an impressive academic background, he's someone I've followed closely for a while. Seeing him step into mainstream media is truly exciting, and I have no doubt this is just the beginning of much greater things to come.

Al Jazeera correspondent Mohammed Wishah was killed in an Israeli strike that targeted his vehicle in Gaza City. His death brings the number of Palestinian journalists killed since October 2023 to 262, amid violations of the US-brokered “ceasefire.” #JournalismIsNotACrime

“These children were killed in their own bed. How does this government expect us to believe that everything is fine?” I report from Tronglaobi on what happened yesterday in Manipur. frontline.thehindu.com/incoming/manip…

Here is my report for @IndianExpress on how digital campaigns are gradually overtaking the political mural art form in Chennai and how political parties split their spending between offline and online campaigns. (5/5) indianexpress.com/article/india/…

Chennai Central registered 53.96%, the lowest among the 39+1 constituencies, and Chennai South registered 54.17% in the same election. Ahead of the #2026AssemblyElections in #TamilNadu, I had an opportunity to speak with political muralists in Chennai. (4/5)

Besides digital campaigns, art washing and class-based aesthetics decide what can be seen in public spaces in Chennai. (1/5)
