Summary How RTI changed the face of investigative journalism in India, forever. The RTI Act has helped investigative journalism in getting information that otherwise would have been almost impossible to unearth despite legal provisions. Using the storyline approach, the author, through his own experiences, unravels how news was collected through persistent efforts using RTI, how the stories evolved, and how the subject was followed up keeping an eye on the rightful impact. Hence the emphasis is less on theory and more on practical aspects, making the book 'a story behind India's biggest news stories'.
Contents Advent of RTI and role of media -- Foreign travels of ministers: 256 rounds of the globe -- Foreign travel of bureaucrats: 74 up down trip to the moon -- I hereby declare: assets declaration in public domain -- India's steel frame: corruption cases against IAS/IPS/IRS -- Stream of filth: cleaning the rivers through RTI -- Personnel in personal staff of MPs: all in family -- Light every corner: RTI everywhere in the government -- NGOs funded by government: JSSS and KVKS -- Passing the buck: misuse of RTI by public authorities -- How a journalist can use RTI and see the change.
