On the occasion of National Press Day, this is a matinee play which attempts to understand the changing requirements of the readers and stakeholders and what constitutes public interest in today's times.

This play highlights the changing definition of news and reporting in today's mass media industry where fluff is increasingly replacing hard news focusing on socio-political and socio-economic realities. The unfolding of events is seen through the eyes of a conscientious editor, who is firm in his belief that the media has to be on a mission of serving public interest which is at variance with his owner/proprietor. The one-hour play, split into four scenes examines the current scenario and attempts a critical look at the state of affairs in the country today.
