Writer Vijay Prashad points out that this is an era in which news is relegated to a secondary position, and major news barons state that they are not in the news business, but in the business of advertising. Such times need organisations such as Newsclick that practice meaningful and balanced journalism. Prashad emphasizes that in journalism, facilitating public understanding does not mean "dumbing down" their intellect; analysing complexity should not mean simplistic, "reduced" reality.
