Allowing sexist jibes

IN Media Watch Briefs | 13/08/2017

The Hoot has received a complaint about a press conference at Haryana Bhavan on July 20 where a seasoned news agency journalist launched into an outburst against the CMD of ONGC  for an exclusive interview he had recently given to a CNBC anchor.  The reporter's tirade was allegedly peppered with unprintable references to favouring mini-skirted journalists. The incident we find did happen. If instant and vociferous censure from all those present was called for, it was not forthcoming.
