NDTV Editor-in-Chief Rahul Kanwal has been named the IAA Media Person of the Year at the International Advertising Association's awards. Accepting the honour, Kanwal said trust is journalism's most valuable currency, noting that the rise of AI-generated and synthetic content has made credibility more important than ever for news organisations. He credited NDTV's legacy to the generations of journalists, camerapersons and employees who built the network into a top Indian media brand.
The industry pats itself on the back for valuing trust, yet the same media ecosystem often amplifies partisan content and blurs news with opinion. Rahul Kanwal's award is deserved, but the real test is whether newsrooms will invest in fact-checking and transparency over click-driven algorithms. The next TRP or unique visitor number will tell us if trust is truly the currency or just the slogan.
