The New York Times recently produced an extraordinary piece of journalism called ‘The Jungle Prince’.
You can either listen to the 3-part podcast, or read it.
It seeks to uncover the story of the deposed royal family of Oudh, who lived in a ruined palace, that sat in a forest in the heart of New Delhi. The twists, turns, and myths surrounding the family—and how they came to live there—are astonishing.
I won’t give anything else away, but what stands out is the investment the New York Times makes in this kind of journalism.
It’d be difficult to find another publishing organisation with the patience, money, and talent to pull off a multi-year investigation to produce three 30-minute podcast episodes.
In a world full of fast-food media, this is well worth the time.
