  • Navika Kumar is a household name when it comes to television news. She has been a flag bearer for women journalists, one of the few woman editors of a news channel. In a candid conversation with Smita Prakash, Navika Kumar opens up about her family, her transition from print to television news, and the struggles of multitasking as a mother and an editor. For the first time, she narrates about what happened that evening during the controversial episode which included Nupur Sharma which drew a lot of flak. Without mincing any words she sheds light on the feud between her and friend-turned-adversary Arnab Goswami. We also come across her Zen-like persona while dealing with trolls and other critics.

    Ladies,, You are partially right when you say today everyone is questioning. The problem is that the Media is always questioning the Opposition, whereas BJP is in power! The 4th pillar of democracy is supposed to ask tough questions of the ruling dispensation to hold them accountable. The most powerful person in the Government is PM Modi. Please enlighten the viewers on how many times have you guys been able to ask PM Modi questions during the past 8 years???

    3 people have taunted either Arnab directly or his Republic TV Channel, when he was going through a low phase, after the false accusation of bribing to get TRPs. They are, Rahul Shivshankar, Rajdeep Sardesai and Navika Kumar. Although, I respect all 3 of them, their criticism against him was a shock for me. My respect for Arnaab increased 1 notch high, after watching the podcast with Smita Prakash, where he didnt name or shame any of them, even after coming out clean from this scam. He said he doesn't like bitterness. This man is GREAT 🙏

She comes off as a wonderful talented and committed person with a passion for what she does… most of all I loved her attitude towards life and the reality check she lives by ….. kudos to both of you ……and God bless

    I remember Navika's days in Print! I was working then with a Telugu daily called Vaartha. It had a Delhi news bureau chief Rajagopalan ji. Rajagopalan ji had the best inside information from not only across the ministries in Lutyen Delhi but also from his home state of Tamil Nadu and also from the unified AP.
    He would compile bullet point newsbreaks for his AP boss, Mr Sanghi and SMS them.
    He would also share the same info with select journalists in Delhi.
    I have seen even the super cop like KPS Gill sab also calling on him during those days to get info from MHA!
    Navika as a young print reporter would drive down first thing in the morning to Vaartha's office in Delhi to get the days updates!

    Why as an editor of a main channel conduct an important debate from an area (in Kashmir) when it’s well known that Internet connectivity is poor.
