Answer in Brief
Solution
The consequence of the media ‘setting the agenda’ by reporting on the Fashion Week rather than the slum demolitions are the following:
- Several local groups have started their own media. For example, “Khabar Lahriya’ a fortnightly newspaper started by eight Dalit women in the Chitrakoot district, in Uttar Pradesh. It is in ‘Bundeli’, a local language.
- Several people from NGOs have started using community radio to advise farmers about the use of seeds and fertilizers, and the price of different crops.
- Some local poor people started documentary films with cheap video cameras on real-life conditions of poor communities.
