- Опубліковано 30 гру 2022
- The biggest news media story of the year gone by is Prannoy and Radhika Roy walking away from NDTV as the new owner, the Adani Group, walked in. In this week's #NationalInterest, ThePrint Editor-in- Chief Shekhar Gupta talks about Roys' dignified parting note -- which is a fine insight into how they’ve approached their journalism. In the highly-strung world of news television, their calm is a rarity.

Honestly it was PRANNOY ROY who dragged us to the TV for his fantastic once a week programme on Friday Night.. THE WORLD THIS WEEK..literally taught us about the ELECTIONS and analysis...and helped us to know or rather enlightened us.. and sir your Walk The Talk.. I just waited.. marvelling at your ease while posing tough questions to the many of our PM s and Politicians. Thank you..
Thank you Shekhar G. NDTV will be remembered because of people like you, the Roys, Sahar, Kulpati amongst others.
Abhigyan Prakash
Ravish Kumar too
Don't forget about 800 crores scam
I started seeing 'the world this week' hosted by Mr.Roy and got hooked.
Then, during Election time his analysis and insights got my brains.
Now, when they walk down the steps of NDTV, the 'Roys' are carrying our unbridled Reverence, immense Respect deserved for the few who still know the meaning of journalism.
I am grateful for Prannoy for introducing me to English news and that classy English. Over my formative years, I was a huge fan of shows like The Big Fight, We The People, Walk the Talk, and of course, the election coverage.
I think one failing of NDTV is not accommodating the views of Hindu conservatives. Many of their personalities showed contempt (e.g. Barkha, Rajdeep, Nidhi), which distanced the conservatives from the channel, and make them find their “own” channels like Times Now and Republic TV.
Rajdeep hasnt been in NDTV for most of its time since 2003 . He and Sagarika had opened and run IBN-7 & CNN-IBN along with Ashutosh(Hindi)
Then he went to India Today
The falling of NDTV was that their main presenters starting losing objectivity and starting choosing what truth to be presented!
That was a decent video about the Roys, their contributions to media and their graciousness. This video of yours expressing gratitude is also some level of proof that you are not entirely yet a businessman in the business of media, but still a journalist to some degree and a decent human being. After all, gratitude is a mark of nobility.
Sir you too deserve a similar tribute from the over 2 million subscribers. Your graciousness towards Roy's is commendable
Absolutely 👍
It's loyalty more than graciousness
@@Bsingh9376 Roys have 700 crore and he have nothing
Greatly said Shekhar! Truly said, an era of journalism is over. But you at Print along with others, Keep up the work of supporting the Fourth Pillar of Democracy!
Sometime somewhere down the line they forgot they were news men and not the political influencers. It’s tempting to choose a side and difficult to remain unbias
No worries All our remaining Main Stream Media are doing a great job of speaking the truth.
There are plenty of Godi media for you to make you feel comfortable.
Yes, and today's MSM is the bastion of unbiased & non-partisan news coverage. Gandu
@@mg.f.9023 true
Roy's & Sekhar Gupta....birds of same feather flock together...
Pranoy roy was such a fine anchor...I clearly remember him presenting world this week when I was in school..great info..I used to wait for it..and then his election coverages....all the current anxhors are his Shisyas..I wish you touched upon their infamous close links to communists..but lot of respect to all u guys
What a brilliant and heartfelt tribute
Loved listening to this awesome story. It brought alive transition of indian news media from print to TV. Thank you SG.
Grew up with NDTV & Roy. Would wait for election update with Roy & if he appears on screen u know its important. But later was shocked to see their subtle bias. Later NDTV seem more elitist & leftist with inherent bias. Most imp they are blatantly anti-Modi which as a follower dont expect them to.
Well now there are no more Anti-Modi channels left. Only Godi channels. Horrah!
@@mg.f.9023 both are bad. In my opinion these leftist fake liberal channels are worst since atleast the right channels dont pretend-straight in ur face, with them or against. But these channels pretend to be liberal & tilt, always masking their bias with fake education. AND there is still anti-Modi fake news factories wire, newlaundary etc & even in that you show your bias
@@shankares388 My friend, All i want to know are the current Main Stream Media going after the TRUTH or cover the Government's failures. Period.
How dare anyone criticize PM
@@mg.f.9023 absolutely but there is no 'truth' left. Either it is my truth or your truth. Media now go beyond conveying news-they form opinions. More entertainment than news
May I suggest another book too? It is very readable and insightful “ NDTV Frauds” by Shree Iyer.
From Pak🕊Salute 🏆 & All respect to RoyS for fearless journalism & dignified exit. I have been a great fan of him… it’s a huge loss to NDTV. Also Thank You Shekhar Shb for paying tribute to Roys & very interesting/ insightful tips.
Many thanks for this episode, Shekhar. Wishing you, your family as well the entire Print team a happy, prosperous and healthful 2023 🌷🌷
It is a big gratitude shown to the Roy's by SG. The weekly walk the talk used to be very impressive. Touching....feeling sad that such a production house will not be managed by the Roy's.
Yes, very sad
Thank you for such an interpretaion of NDTV. I am a great fan of Mr. Pranay Roy. Could even remember his programme ' The world this week'on Fridays in b/w TV. It was the window to know about the world in my childhood. A great salute to you and NDTV.
Grown up with the Roy's. The electioneering was a classic. Dr Roy's sauve analysis of election results was always excellent. The news this week was legendary. Appan Menon demise is remembered. Vinod dua Hindi was always clean. Sad indeed to know the turnover of events. Hopefully the new management will keep the news factual!!
It’s a great tribute from one long-standing journalist to another set of truly phenomenal journalists in the history of Indian journalism. Their work indeed measures and maps the lay of the land!!! My compliments for the fitting farewell!!!
@saewha my tribute to most of my bosses would be a lot less gracious.😀 The Roys, and Mr Gupta see from a different timestamp. Gracious and polite by nature.
That was a amazing gesture sir towards a stalwart in Indian news and electronic media Prannoy Roy. I was in school when i got hooked onto The World this week, so tastefully and engagingly presented by Prannoy and Appan Menon(gone too soon). This sure is end of an era....
End of Era. Lol. I don't understand why left loonies are going gaga over Roys.
@@tushargoyal554 That you read my message and waste time to post a reply shows you have nothing LEFT to do... The so-called Right of the centre journalist Arnob Goswami is a product of NDTV....
@@deepakbharadwaj5590 Haha. Saying as if NDTV is the 'janani' of all journalism in India. Narcissist behavior of psychopath NDTV IT Celliya.
@@tushargoyal554 Those who have sacrificed nothing, achieved nothing and brought up on parental doles are right wing ideologues.
@@tushargoyal554 Clearly you know more than anyone who has lived through that age. You must be at least 150 years old. But why do you speak like a child who does not have had a decent upbringing. I dint blame you like parents like son.
The Class and Culture of the Roys will never ever be seen in Indian Journalism again !
Thank you Prannoy & NDTV for the world you presented to the People of India 🙏!
Spoken with humility, self depracating humour which only makes your followers like you more! and with that classic Shekhar Gupta style of borrowing from a vivid memory of experiences of being a stellar journalist since decades.
A well deserving tribute for the Gems of Indian Television
Kudos Gupta ji for this episode ..... The Roy's are the epitome of gentleman journalism!!
A humble suggestion given your open admiration of the Roy's style of journalism : emulate sir, please!!! That's the best praise
Radhika roy and Brinda karat are sisters.
lmao now i know where that oversized bindi comes from
@@neirbesnoi8343 lol
Really? I once saw Roy and Karat sitting in the front row of an aircraft in which I was a passenger. My reaction even till today was - both communists...
@@ragzmalani yes, similarly Karan thapar is son of pran nath thapar who was army chief of India during india china war, Romila thapar is cousin of Karan thapar, and he is also related to Nehru Gandhi family from his mother's side if I remember it correctly.
Radhika and Prannoy Roy have earned the respect and reputation of every serious viewer. Very apt tribute. I loved your show Walk the Talk.
I dont agree with the politics and world views of roy's on many things but i do agree they have a good nd necessary change jounalism always needed..
Prannoy Roy was an Icon of TV news coverage--he changed the way elections were analysed and presented to the indian viewers--he created a new interest in the public for news channels----and of course even You Mr Gupta will be remembered for your walk the talk coverage
There is no doubt that Prannoy has been the icon of a generation of 90s. However, the sickular and anti national tone which NDTV acquired over the years, let to disappointment for many. NDTV could have remained balanced and professional. But Roys were involved in shady financial deal as well which sullied their reputation.
Pronoy and Radhika Roy the names commanded such respect in the world of journalism very few could do!!
It's a piece of sad news for indian democracy that the Roys left NDTV. Hope they will open a new channel
Not possible. They may even end up behind the bars or would settle abroad
Pranoy Roy came into our lives with The World This Week and will remain one of the best faces of Indian TV News. It's the end of a wonderful era..
Fixation of old cabal over Roy only proves that he appealed to a certain set of dogmatic ideologies. You're a rice bag and he appealed to you means he was a bigot.
Shekhar's heartfelt gratitude to Roy's is a true tribute to the most respected News TV channel and it's creator's.
🙏
On expected lines.. one does not forget old friends, rite?
Yes, remember the line from dark knight, stayed long enough to see themselves as the villain. Indeed their biases has led us to know about their ugly truth. To all those sympathising with Roys, Condolences!
Well said... obituary...
The first time I saw Prannoy Roy on TV was in 1987 when he used to telecast a programme in Doordarshan ' The World this week' in 1987 on Fridays. But he became my favkirite when I watched him as a Psephelogist analyzing the elections with a commentary. The noteworthy point about him as a TV presenter is his calm and unemotional way of approach to topics in a soft ,soothing manner. He was even calm and firm while questioning the most difficult politicians. He never showed irritation or anger or frustration while doing with politicians.
NDTV virtually remained an island of calm under him in an otherwise tempestuous ,noisy, cantankerous sea of Indian TV world.
I doubt whether even a so-called monk in his full religious attire and marks can maintain such composure.
NDTV as a TV channel nay have gone out of his hands but he will be cherished by a certain set of people forever.
We hope he would appear amid us soon. He is an institution in himself and his legacy cannot be allowed to ve lost so easily.
Come back,Pronnoy.
❤
That was most expensive program that time and was also sophisticated
@@mg.f.9023 you seems to be a roys bhakt, and appearing in every comment.
@@shivmohan2982 🌶🌶
All left liberal fools eaten India at her younger age.
A truly fitting tribute to a deserving couple who upheld fast fading values. Icons of a disappearing era.
Fast fading value. The pristine past that used to exist. Every generation thinks there's something a golden age in past. Get well soon.
@@tushargoyal554 Whatever you say but news during those days was much civil.
@@balajeepratham8200 civil but full of evil
@@SrinivasRao-vd4ki You know what is wrong with right wing?
You people promote arnab and amish. Instead, you should promote vikram sampath.
People who talk calmly and with facts attract more people to that ideology, especially young people.
That's why left wingers are so successful in universities. They talk rubbish but talk with calm and good, polite manner not shout like arnab - mujhe drugs do
@@balajeepratham8200 Civil by suppressing other viewpoint. DD Era was more civil as there were no one for disagreement.
Shekharji, a very nice tribute to the awesome, dignified, classy, elegant Roys who will always be remembered for their channel👏👏...sad to see all this unfold and Ravish Kumar exiting from the channel after 26yrs😒
Nothing about the way they were pushed out? About money and muscle power over truth? Wah Shekhar ji. Take a stand!
During 26/11 their anchor literally told where hostage where held. Not sure what Gupta Ji mean by not going after sensation . Mr Roy was a terrific psephologist can’t say the same about his politics or journalism .
Good riddance of Roys and his team especially Rubbish (Ravish) Kumar
Which anchor said that? Do you have any name? & Which place the anchor was talking about? Taj, Oberoi?
@@lonewolfe2502 Barkha Dutt.
And what were all the other TV channels doing including Times Now led by the great Arnab? Just letting you know- everyone was doing the same!
@@prashantbalaji7320 exactly. That's what I was thinking. 😂 Because I still remember watching the news for straight 3 days. I think I was in High school that time. Also, I remember that NDTV saying constantly that their visuals are not live and it has half an hour of delay or something.
For the first time I could sense some emotions dripping out of your language, Shekhar.
Your honest &good Roy cople z Appreciated, I forget NDTV
All said, your humility and acceptance of owns professional shortcomings is inspiring.
No wonder you have stood tall and are heading an major organization today.
NDTV will always be in our heart A great respect to Mr pranoy Roy NDTV will always be remembered for its true journalism
NDTV was the poster child for nepotism. It was the original Godi Media. If your daddy is in influential position you can surely get a job over there. Sagarika, Nidhi, Srini all got their jobs because their daddy was in influential position.
Didn’t they make Ra800 crores from the sale of their shares?
That is the beauty of these imaandaar patalkars ...once sided agenda driven news always served fresh and hot.Good to see many ppl realizing the manipulated patalkars from kongi godis.
Thanks Shekhar ji. Stay blessed.
Dr Roy is back with a bang on UA-cam.
For someone who had The World This Week to turn to every Friday during my teens, and later election analysis and budget analysis, thanks for this lovely year-end tribute to the Roys.
I see in the comments that the trolls are already out dispensing their beloved hate to all.
He is the blue eyed boy of the Leftists, especially that of West Bengal cadre
@@SrinivasRao-vd4ki Aditya is a Bongi, look at his surname. So it's natural for him to like Roy as both are leftist loonies
Wonderful and insightful that dear SG spoke on this topic, thank you. Would love at possibility to get books on 'walk the talk' full episodes, as perhaps a volume collection.
This was a time there was no social media to point out biases and journalists had a free run for propaganda
Hmmm
Thank u stating that...otherwise ppl going gaga about these corrupt journalism
The guilty are afraid. The silence is as elocuent as they used to be.
Thanks Shekhar for your Graceful tributes to the Roys ! You conduct your "The Print" with same grace and Thanks for bringing this to us and enhancing our insight on various matters. I really appreciate and enjoy seeing "The Print."
So very humble, such a brilliant tribute 😎
I thought you were a Giant in the news biz. since 30 years seeing you everywhere when I grew up but now I know it's a story of learning n growth, most giant start small
This best tribute to NDTV can any one write
The starting music of TWTW and I used to leave everything and rush to TV room
Roys handled NDTV with grace. I may not agree with the editorial POV but it was decent and showed news without the drama. Will miss that.
Outstanding, Shekharji!
Happy New Year to everyone at The Print!
Great to see you Roy sir. We missed you a lot
Excellent 👍
Great body of work Shekhar!
Though i really appreciate Mr Gupta for some very interesting analysis, but most of the videos will feature his own story, which is intensely interesting and utterly useless. Take this video for example, 8 mins of 10 mins were about me , myself and Gupta ji, and not about the Roy's. 😀
Not trying to criticize, it's a personal attribute, but just a feedback
It was a very sad day for me to see Pronoy and Radhika Roy walk away from NDTV!
An apt tribute to the great Roy duo.
With 800 crores scam

Fascinating
Well said Shekar. Sincerity personified in what sounded to me as a requiem for independent journalism. The juggernaut doth march on, like an octopus sucking all things up.
Indeed the name Prannoy Roy was very endearing to our generation. The news-starved country waited for his incisive interviews of the politicians and his in-depth election analysis. His subtle and dignified yet persisting questioning style on camera sent incredible feelings all around the country. We hope he will return to the newsroom in some new Avatar.
Dude's living in fools paradise
Hope he gets penalised for his financial irregularities.
@@SrinivasRao-vd4ki He will run to a foreign country just like other frauds masquerading as journalists.
NDTV started out really well with a decent and insightful analysis and reporting. I personally liked their breakfast news, and NDTV is the reason I got introduced to politics. However, not sure what happened, but later it veered towards left and become to pro-Congress. Balance between different ideologies was lost, and discussions became one sided. News anchors, instead of playing a role of a facilitator in a debate, acted like Congress and Left spokesperson. Some journalists developed a larger than life kind of personality which made then think they control the country. I think that's where NDTV lost its credibility.
intelligent people could make out wah early that NDTV had no conscience, and this shekhar gupta gax always been biased and had more ego than conscience...
Fully agreed. One more thing I would like to add: During live telecasts of election results he was very hasty and sometimes his conclusions made during early stages would prove out to be wrong at the end
Pranoy Roy started well in the TV News world of India then accelerated greatly with NDTV and then "The Ravish Kumar" happened.
Did you forget Burkha dutt, or was she Ok?
seriously...grt...😂😂😂
This is personal interest. Nothing national about it.
Why???
His channel, his production, he will create & publish whatever he wants, he will call it whatever he feels like it is. If you want to influence the content subscribe and pay for it, then you have the right to ask him to stick to topics of your choice in his videos :)
The revolution, change and development they have brought via NDTV to India and Indians is unparalleled, awards like Bharat Ratnas are too small to recognise them. Prannoy Roy and Radhika mam thank you from the bottom of my heart. The Gems of India. 🙏🏻
Not Bharath Ratna
They deserve an award from China and Pakistan
@@krishnamohanrao4191 Modi is awarding China with more imports from China, enjoy.

Nice that you share positive things about the Roys. They were an era in NDTV which is now over. Let us hope new era will begin under Mr Adani's management which will take the NDTV to places higher that the BBC, NYT, WP. If they call you to join, please do.
A class act, a tribute founded on SG's own humility and his affection for Roys. Regarding keeping a straight face, I myself noticed SG's visible discomfiture in Off the Cuff with Nitin Gadkari. In the news-anchors' world full of noise and thunder, I am not aware of any journalist who has earned so much love and respect as SG. Roys and SG, both will be counted among the greats of TV and News journalism.
Been a fan of NDTV and Roy since “ The World this week “ days
Loved walk the talk. NDTV was the only news channel I could get myself to watch.
NDTV is pro congress and leftist and have a propaganda like Godi media
@@historyfromarchivestolimel8662 it had more content than drama, tho.
Prannoy Roy was a trail blazer as fas as live tv is concerned. Though as new entrants came NDTV lost much of its novelty. Good episode
A colossus of Indian Journalism
Now it's upto The Print to hold the line as the last bastion of free journalism in India. We are with you Shekhar Bhaji.
Media is a business, for-profit, privately owned business. But Media has unique influence, power and responsibilties. A 2023 Report on the "Media' will also be in India's national interest. Specially, evening hours TV media and everything related to it. Thank you.
❤ Shekar Gupta .. great sir.. I keep dreaming of having an intellectual and sensible boyfriend like you ..
Big fan for your show ..
May you be blessed with good health ….
Your personal reminiscences apart and the Roy's being graceful, dignified etc apart in my somewhat discourteous and pungent remarks I say " Farewell NDTV. Good riddance to bad rubbish. Hope never to hear from them again"
Sorry, but these are my kindest words.
You can get some good rubbish on ZEE TV, TIMES NOW, REPUBLIC TV
Why didn't they keep building or something as collateral instead of shares?He was still a very prominent shareholder but decided to offload his shares after Adani came into the picture.
Roy's may have walked out of NDTV, but they can't walk out of India..
They are accused of financial irregularities
N.D.T.V. pioneered TV journalism in true sense, no noise. Presented News and shows in decent manner. Let's see future in time of Social media platforms.
Just Awsome Tribute by SG Sb
I am in tears. I have grown up and always watched NDTV and PranoyRoy. It used to be our breakfast and our dinner. Me and my family would never eat unless we have NDTV Infront of us and we all are watching. This led to, me getting a lot of knowledge on almost all important current affairs topics and understanding national politics. My elder daughter who is a journalist , got inspired only by Pranoy Roy and Burkha duty on NDTV. We all feel disappointed to see Roys leaving the NDTV..
They will always be remembered for educating the Nation and mentoring a whole generation of journalists and appointing, encouraging and empowering brilliant talent to come forward and contribute to the National political understanding and decluttering the phenomenon. Thank you Pranoy Roy and Radhika Roy for your contribution.
They deliver news in best way among all channels but somewhere they tilt towards congress while reporting, which spoiled their image a bit, but they always maintain decorum and gave many celebrities journalists like bharkha Dutt and raveesh Kumar.. but it is tilt towards congress which became cause of fall , especially reporting just before 2014 election which was primarily anti Modi in nature
Now India is left with all channels that Pro Modi in nature. RIP for truth to be told any more!
Pranay James Roy through NDTV had successfully propagated Congress's narrative smartly and without any challenge stealing resources from DD..Also was part of Govt Of India policy making teams...Well we are supposed to hide this..
Good God! At least someone knows the truth. Why don't you make an episode and publish on UA-cam. Oh but that will need research, facts, and evidence so just let it be.
@@anuragrajasingh no evidence required. It is as clear as a cloudless blue sky that it was a pet of Congress, driven by leftist ideology.

Thank you Mr Gupta. My respect for you has increased ten fold.
Can never forget TWTW on Friday night by PR
Thank you. Will wait for an OTC with Dr Roy plz.😊
Roy's truly were phenomenal and trend-setting. Also provided a breeding ground for all top notch tv anchors. Class act even if bit too liberal/ leftist at times
Beautiful :)
Inspiring. Thank you ShekharJi
Famous Talk Shows When I Was Growing Up .
👉 Walk The Talk - S. Gupta.
👉 Seedhi Baat - Prabhu Chawla. 😐
That was a beautifully written letter by Prannoy and Radhika Roy. Grace and dignity are what I see. I sincerely hope that Mr. Gautam Adani lets NDTV flourish as a democratic media example of India. If freedom of media is lost then our claims to democracy is lost too.
Looking well into the 1980s, Doordarshan gave what is truly called the NEWS..Lacked the emotion but definitely the NEWS..Till arrival of Prannoy Roy with his calm demeanour & comfortable English..NDTV had the edge to define NEWS to more trusted levels & genuine journalism..oflate there is feeling NDTV got drifted & lost their edge..Let’s hope new owner brings back genuine journalism back.
Prannoy Roy is by far the connoisseur of News Television in India. That's until he became too politically biased - super pro Congress and super anti BJP. Thats when he lost all credibility.
Still i consider him connoisseur of India's news television.
Thank you Shekhar ji for your contribution to coverage of Indian politics over the years.
My first experience with quality news was The World This Week.
