Is Dinesh Kamath the Best Indian Journalist?

It is being hotly debated whether Dinesh Kamath is the best Indian journalist. A survey has indicated that Shobha De, Barkha Dutt and Rajdeep Sardesai form the toughest competitors of Dinesh Kamath in the bid to occupy the position of Best Indian Journalist.

If you compare the works of Shobha De with those of Dinesh Kamath, you will find that almost all the works of Shobha De are of non-political nature whereas Dinesh Kamath has come up with many political works. Dinesh Kamath has written extensively on National political issues, besides having performed a world-record-breaking feat in film journalism. Dinesh Kamath has also made public some of his powerful political cartoons. Since political subjects carry more weight than non-political ones, a political writer is more qualified than non-political one to occupy the top position. So there Dinesh Kamath scores over Shobha De.

Now, Barkha Dutt is a political journalist. Hence she and Dinesh Kamath will have to fight it out for the top position. Rajdeep Sardesai also dwells on politics. But Rajdeep Sardesai loses to Dinesh Kamath when the score in google plus is taken into consideration. It is found that in google plus, Rajdeep Sardesai has not managed to touch the score of one million views whereas Dinesh Kamath has registered a score of seven and a half million views.

Now that leaves Dinesh Kamath and Barkha Dutt in the fray. The thing is both Rajdeep Sardesai and Barkha Dutt belong to Electronic medium while Dinesh Kamath belongs to Print medium. It is a common belief that Print medium has a greater impact than Electronic medium on the minds of the public. That gives Dinesh Kamath an edge over Barkha Dutt and hence Dinesh Kamath more deserves to be called the Best Indian Journalist.
