Yup, that’s Republic Bharat’s idea of covering a war and an unprecedented humanitarian crisis

Republic (Organization) Ukraine Russia

We’re two months into the Ukraine-Russia war. Satellite images show bodies in the streets, casualties are mounting, and several journalists in Ukraine have died since the Russian invasion began, while some of their counterparts in Russia have shown extraordinary courage in speaking out.

Let’s be clear: What Ukraine is experiencing is a humanitarian crisis. The basic ask from journalists reporting on it is a sense of gravity.

Now, the war has been front and centre for news channels in India too.

Then there’s Republic Bharat’s Shazia Nisar, a news anchor dispatched to Ukraine who added her own twist – literally – to reporting.

There’s no denying her enthusiasm, but that isn’t precisely what people were pointing out.

Sometimes the sponsor names alone lend to amusing race titles — sometimes, the fans get involved and hijinks ensue.…
