Hate Speech Is An Assault On Formal Equality: Hate Speech Beda
Akademi Mag interviewed Swathi Shivanand from Hate Speech Beda, a collective that works to combat hate speech produced by sections of the press and media. The collective recently published an intensive report titled “Wages of Hate: Journalism in Dark Times” which documents and analyzes the pattern of anti-minority speech in Kannada media. It locates such sensational news coverage with the proliferation of corporate-run media outlets that have rendered journalism largely incapable of dissenting from vested economic interests. It argues that for democracy to flourish, we need robust independent media platforms which can function outside of corporate and political control. Their report primarily looks at Kannada news coverage of COVID-19 and the CAA-NRC protests. The report also states that upper caste domination in Indian media houses heavily contributes to the production of hate speech.You can read the report on Hate Speech Beda’s blog: hatespeechbeda.wordpress.com/2020/09/08/report-wages-of-hate-journalism-in-dark-times/ Consider donating to the collective as it moves towards translating the report for and disseminating it to larger audiences.
