NewsX - This is all gonna end in tears… | Samreth Singh

What went wrong *so soon? *I had such high hopes for NewsX.

A network started by Peter Mukerjea for chrissakes! He headed STAR TV! The news channel would be headed by Vir Sanghvi! One of the few Indian journalists I knew off, he wrote and spoke extremely well and I respected him immensely. These were excellent credentials to me and despite it being a news channel I signed up because I thought I would get to make some great programming and I would learn a whole lot from the Brits that Peter brought in to get the channel off the ground. The same Brits who *hired *me as a Producer for the channel.

I’ll be the first to admit I’ve made a *boat-load *of mistakes in my life but NewsX has to be among the biggest. Where do I even *begin? *
