Introduction


We are witnessing the unraveling of new age media like twitter, it's impact is also being felt in countries where the traditional media was found to be inadequate in providing a platform for all voices. The new age media filled the void and the nonconforming voices are making themselves heard with a vengeance. Though new age media has been able to step in to fill the inadequacies of traditional media in these countries to a great extent, however whether it has ushered in a culture of debate like it is in freer countries  is, well, debatable.

The disadvantage of twitter is that although it does initiates debates, but veers off leaving them unresolved to say the least, critics might add absence of "editorial filters" as well.

This blog is intended to be a platform for channelized debates and try to reach at logical conclusions like all debates are expected to.
