This year, we, at Outlook, are launching the first Vinod Mehta Memorial Lecture on August 18 not only to commemorate the outstanding contributions and legacy of our iconic founding Editor-in–Chief but also to underline and reaffirm our unwavering commitment to the basic and sacrosanct principles of journalism.
On this occasion, we have invited Mr Steve Coll, acclaimed American journalist-writer and former managing editor of The Washington Post who has been a two-time Pulitzer Award winner, to deliver the VM Memorial Lecture on ‘Media in the Mirror’ primarily focusing on the crisis of liberalism facing the fourth estate in the 21st century.
