BEYOND THE HEADLINES

A resignation letter sends shockwaves through T&T's media landscape.

Former Guardian Media investigative journalist Joshua Seemungal alleges ethical failings, conflicts of interest, preferential treatment, editorial interference and a breakdown of trust within one news organization.

His departure has reignited difficult questions about journalism itself.

How should newsrooms manage conflicts of interest? What safeguards are needed to protect editorial independence? Can public confidence survive when allegations of political influence emerge? And where should the line be drawn between perception and reality when it comes to media bias?

Joining us tonight is veteran journalist and media executive Sunity Maharaj as we examine the issues at the heart of the controversy and what they mean for the future of journalism in Trinidad and Tobago.
