The media plays a big role in shaping public opinion. It’s time for public opinion to shape the media. If your favourite newspaper or TV channel starts reporting on how the Tata port in Orissa could drive the highly-endangered Olive Ridley Turtles to extinction, the Tatas will notice. And they will act.
Below are contact details of the country’s top TV networks and newspapers. Call them and ask them what’s stopping them from reporting on this urgent issue, and when they’re going to start reporting on it. Please be polite in your discussion. And remember to mail us an account of what you asked and what response you got. Email us at oceans.team@in.greenpeace.org when you’re done.
