Career

Since 1991, she has worked as a journalist at The Times Of India, Outlook magazine and The Indian Express and was deputy editor and prime time anchor on the news network CNN-IBN.[7][8][9] Ghose resigned as deputy editor of CNN-IBN in July 2014.[10]

In 2004, she became the first woman to host Question Time India.[11] She was the deputy editor and a prime time anchor on the news network CNN-IBN.[8][9] Her writings and broadcasts have earned her popularity and also criticism from right-wing viewers.[12][13]

Ghose's Twitter interview with Arvind Kejriwal of the Aam Aadmi Party in 2013 became the first instance of an Indian politician giving a social media interview prior to the polls.[14] Ghose resigned from CNN-IBN on 5 July 2014 after the network was acquired by the Mukesh Ambani-led Reliance Industries ltd. She was deputy editor of the channel.[15][16]

Awards and honors

Her show Question Time Didi, an audience based interaction with West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee and students, from which Banerjee famously stormed out mid-way, received the NT Award for Best Public Debate Show in 2013.[17] She was awarded the Gr8-ITA award for Excellence in Journalism in 2009.[citation needed] Ghose was awarded an Excellence in Journalism Award (Aparajita Award) from FICCI Ladies Organisation in 2005.[citation needed] In 2012 she received the CF Andrews Award for Distinguished Alumnus from St Stephen's College.[18] In 2013, Ghose received the ITA Best Anchor Award from the Indian Television Academy (ITA).[19] In 2014, The Rhodes Project included Ghose on a list of 13 famous women Rhodes Scholars.[20] In 2017 Ghose was awarded the C.H.Mohammed Koya National Award for journalism.[21]

In her 2018 non-fiction book, Why I Am A Liberal: A Manifesto For Indians Who Believe in Individual Freedom,[11][25][26] Ghose describes herself as a liberal who believes in rule of law, limited government, robust institutions and individual liberty. Ghose propounds the thesis that although the republic of India was founded as a liberal democracy in 1947, subsequent Indian governments throughout the post-Independence period have sought to attack individual liberty and vastly increase the powers of the government, or the powers of what she calls the Indian 'Big State'.
