Local reporters are on the front lines of important stories, but their work often goes unnoticed by national and international news outlets. TED Fellow and journalist Gangadhar Patil is working to change that. In this quick talk, he shows how he's connecting grassroots reporters in India with major news outlets worldwide — and helping elevate and expose stories that might never get covered otherwise.

Cool. Please start by teaching global mass media extremely simple math. 1.8 billion Muslims in the world. 1% of 1.8 billion = 18 million. If 1% of Muslims were “out to get us” we would have had 18 million attacks on civilians instead of less than 100 in the past 20 years. There. I just disproved ALL global media for the past 20 years. A 12 year old could do it but apparently ALL global media houses can’t do 3rd grade math.
Kind regards, an atheist with at least half a brain (that’s all you need to see through fake news)
PS. I will repeatedly write this comment as a main post and as an answer to MANY other comments because apparently fighting fake news with 100% indisputable facts is against Sabbatean Frankist policies and 99% of these comments on ANY youtube video will be deleted in a matter of seconds/minutes. Absolutely disgusting.
Wow
That’s awesome
Hello random person seeing this commet
Lol
“Random person”.
Today media is just propaganda machine for politician

Spot on.
@Super Saber I don’t know about that but I do know that CNN = Fake News
So true!! There is no true journalism anymore. It’s all slanted to the far left
Media in india is called ‘MODIA’
yup pappu supporters called it as modia
Anything Orange Man bad is pushed by these 3 letter agencies. And
Brilliant idea. This idea would go places if you ensure these 1200 or more reporters are completely unbiased with strong determination. I have personally seen so many local reporters taking money to write propaganda news.

Let me get this strait, a guy on TED is telling us about err…. what’s the word “journalism”. HA! Good one. TED could not find story outside it’s own ideological bubble even if it tried. Call me when there are some actual ideas worth spreading even if they are politically incorrect. A TED Fellow is going to teach us how big media companies are bad and he is the light. Behold. HA! Good one. Sorry fellow, I’m running out of cynicism. And you have your TED brand to thank for that.
Your total ignorance is amazing. You might prosper outside of YOUR bubble You wouldn’t be able to comprehend real journalism if it came in a think & do activity booklet. Great form of hypocrisy displayed here.

Don’t confuse leftist social activism with free-press news.
Too many victim studies graduates in modern media.
I truly think Stories is a very powerful tool to create an impact in the world. I’m not a journalist nor a writer but i aspire to be a great story teller.
A system where important stories don’t go unnoticed? I wish we had this in America
democracy in India is a delusional.. it doesn’t work.. no body wants to be like India..
