Dear friend,

Please find attached the invite for the latest in a series of
media-related debates organised by the Foundation for Media
Professionals (www.fmp.org.in).

Many believe that campaigns for democratic rights such as RTI,
education, food and NREGA would have come to a naught without the
media's support. But a consistent charge is that the media ignore
issues of rural poverty because they are 'down-market' and 'non-sexy',
to use media's own lingo. Is there truth in these charges? Can
something be done to make these issues 'sexy'?

The Foundation for Media Professionals (FMP) is bringing together some
of India's best known media professionals and development thinkers to
discuss this on Monday, January 25, from 10.30 am to 1 pm at the main
auditorium of the India International Centre, New Delhi. The panelists
are:

Mr. Vinod Mehta, (Editor in Chief, Outlook)

Dr. C P Joshi (Union Minister for Rural Development)

Mr. Arindam Sengupta (Executive Editor, The Times of India)

Ms. Aruna Roy (Magsaysay award-winning RTI pioneer)

Mr Harivansh (Chief Editor, Prabhat Khabar)

Ms Sunita Narain (Director Centre for Science and Environment)

Mr Jean Dreze (Economist)

The discussion will be moderated by FMP's Vipul Mudgal. And it will be
followed by lunch.

All concerned people, whether from the media or not, are welcome.

Warm regards,

Manoj Mitta
Vivian Fernandes
Aniruddha Bahal
on behalf of The Foundation for Media Professionals
