New Delhi: ABP News, one of India’s leading national Hindi news channels, has launched a ground-breaking prime-time show, 'Public Interest'. As the name suggests, the show aims to amplify people’s voices by addressing their day-to-day issues. It will also try to find solutions to those and take the story or the investigation to its logical conclusion. ‘Public Interest’ premiered on July 17 at 9 PM on ABP News.
In an age where prime-time television news programming is studio-based and discussion-heavy, 'Public Interest' is aimed to reach out to people and opinion makers through on-ground reporting, investigative stories, and exclusive interviews, bringing the focus back to the common man and setting the agenda to resolve people’s issues. The show seeks to bridge the gap between the newsroom and the common man by ensuring their stories are heard, understood and acted upon.
The prime-time show is people-centric, bringing exclusive content to its viewers through well-researched stories and issues. To ensure accuracy and reliability, each story presented on the show undergoes investigation, fact-checking, and analysis.
Jagwinder Patial, an acclaimed journalist with an illustrious career spanning over 25 years, is the host of the show. Jagwinder is the winner of the prestigious Ramnath Goenka Excellence Award for Journalism and has consistently broken impactful stories. His ground-breaking stories from Afghanistan's conflict zones (ISIS stronghold territories) and reporting from violence-affected/riot-hit areas have made him an acknowledged journalist. He is also known for his ‘super exclusive’ interviews with controversial figures who have made headlines. His recent interview with gangster Lawrence Bishnoi from the jail premises in Bhatinda created headlines across the media landscape in the country.
ABP News invites its viewers and stakeholders to join them on this journey toward creating a more inclusive and informed society. Through 'Public Interest', the channel aims to empower the common man by ensuring that their concerns are not just heard, but also acted upon.
