This time I ask why we only read critical reports about big business, like the Adani empire, in the foreign press or independent media https://www.newslaundry.com/2022/12/15/in-rare-reports-on-the-adani-empire-a-reminder-of-independent-medias-significance Today, not only are media houses treading on eggshells when it comes to the government, but they are also selective about writing critically about powerful business houses, especially those in complete sync with the current government. You see this every day in the choice of stories mainstream media chooses to highlight, and those it ignores.

In 2019, Scroll carried a detailed three-part investigation into the same power plant in Jharkhand. Her reports highlighted how the Jharkhand government, then ruled by the BJP, amended its energy policy in such a way that Adani got a higher price for the power generated. She spoke to the villagers who lost their land to the project, and also reported how converting the project into a special economic zone facilitated saving of taxes and additional profits to the company.
