The war for news?

The War for News is one Blog Kkekta Kapur can't afford to ignore. If these guys compile their work, it can easily become a top selling book or even a spicy reality tv programme. Nobody knows the true identity of people behind the blog, but the three "characters" (known by the names of Artemis Zoop, the Watchful Acolyte & the All Seeing Spy) certainly have all the insider stories from three popular Indian News Channels - NDTV, CNN-IBN and the ever struggling "Times Now".

The blog has continued to irritate the top bosses at the respective news channels, so much so that CNN IBN and Times Now had banned access to this blog some time back in their offices. The notorious trio somehow manage to get access to all the Internal emails, inside stories, internal politics etc. and publish the contents on the blog for the general public to see (and enjoy). One wouldn't be surprised if there are "Most Wanted" posters containing the name of these bloggers are pasted all over the offices of these news channels. Interestingly, the bloggers never support any particular channel and are mostly neutral in their opinions, which makes it even more difficult to ascertain their true identities.

It would be interesting to see how long can these chaps continue to publish the inside storieswithout getting caught. I just hope that they never get caught but if Rajdeep Sardesai has his way, he will definitely catch them red handed ..Whatever it takes ;)
