Television diplomacy

IN Media Watch Briefs | 17/01/2016

 India and Pakistan may have deferred official talks  following the Pathankot attacks but an Indian channel - India Today - began track II diplomacy of sorts by telecasting a joint broadcast with Pakistan's premier media house, Dawn News. Anchoring the programme at the India Today end, Rajdeep Sardesai declared that  such a TV initiative could only be good for both the countries in the absence of talks.
