NDTV Appoints Malika Malhotra as Anchor-Reporter
In a significant move to bolster its editorial lineup, NDTV has announced the appointment of seasoned journalist Malika Malhotra as an anchor-reporter. According to a report by Media Brief, Malhotra brings nearly a decade of experience in broadcast journalism to the network.
Malhotra is renowned for her immersive and people-centric reporting style, which has earned her a reputation as a dedicated and committed journalist. One of her most notable assignments was covering the farmers’ protest at the Singhu border, where she spent 100 consecutive days reporting on the story for nearly 12 hours a day. Her reporting went beyond just providing updates on the protest, as she took the time to understand the lives of the people involved and give voice to their concerns with accuracy and commitment. As Media Brief reports, Malhotra’s reporting style is a testament to her journalistic integrity and dedication to her craft.
Another notable example of Malhotra’s reporting is her coverage of the land subsidence crisis in Joshimath, Uttarakhand. Long after the national attention had moved on, Malhotra returned to the affected region to report on the continuing hardships of families still waiting for help. Her follow-up reporting not only provided new information but also demonstrated a commitment to journalistic care and purpose. As quoted in Media Brief, Malhotra said, "NDTV has always felt like a space that values calm, clarity, and connection. For me, journalism is not about being part of the noise, it’s about getting closer to what really matters."
Malhotra’s appointment to NDTV has been welcomed by Rahul Kanwal, Group CEO and Editor-in-Chief of NDTV, who said, "We are very happy to welcome Malika to the NDTV family. She represents the kind of journalism we believe in — honest, grounded, and connected to real people. Her presence will add tremendous value to our editorial direction." As reported by Media Brief, Malhotra’s upcoming show on NDTV India will reflect this ethos, focusing on relevant and relatable storytelling, told in a thoughtful and measured tone, rooted in real stories from Bharat.
Malhotra’s joining NDTV is seen as a strategic move by the network to strengthen its editorial lineup and provide a platform for journalists who are committed to high-quality reporting. With her experience and expertise, Malhotra is expected to make a significant contribution to NDTV‘s programming and help shape the network’s editorial direction.
As Media Brief reports, Malhotra’s appointment is a significant coup for NDTV, which has been a leading player in the Indian media landscape for several decades. With Malhotra on board, NDTV is poised to continue delivering high-quality journalism that is informative, engaging, and relevant to its audience. According to Media Brief, Malhotra’s reporting style and commitment to journalistic integrity make her an excellent addition to the NDTV team.
