What do you write, as a journalist, when fact-based reporting brings censure, censorship, and incarceration? What do you write when you’re constantly told to look at the ‘brighter side’, despite all the enveloping darkness—sometimes at the cost of it? What do you write when public relations spiels drown out reporting and advertorials dwarf editorials??Outlook’s latest issue, ‘All is Well’, responds to these questions through a series of satirical pieces that stretch themselves to find the bloom in the gloom, taking pertinent jibes at the ‘happy news industry’ which, abdicating all the tenets of responsible journalism, foregrounds the status quo. So if only cheer, celebration, and joy matter in news, then we’ll provide all that and more—with a small twist.

Read our latest issue for not just what’s in the lines but also between them, for what’s included and what’s missing, for what we want to say and what we cannot because, to paraphrase the?New York Times’ masthead, hasn’t journalism just become “All the (acchi)?news that’s fit to print”? ?
