'Poison PR', an Investigative Collaboration Between The Wire and International Outlets Wins One World Media Award
The project examined how a US-government funded PR firm profiled activists and scientists opposing pesticides across the world, including India. Illustation: Pariplab Chakraborty The Award As part of this investigation, The Wire published the story titled 'How a US-Based PR Firm Is Profiling Activists, Scientists Opposing Pesticides and GMO', on September 24 last year. The story highlighted how the US-based v-Fluence Interactive, a reputation management firm which received funding from the United States government, was working to combat opposition to pesticides and genetically modified (GM) crops by secretly profiling critics, both across the world and in India. The One World Media Awards, given every year across 13 categories including news, print, press freedom and refugee reporting, recognise exceptional and underreported journalism from the global south. In 2025, more than 50 judges from 20 countries chose the winners from more than 500 entries. 'Poison PR' won the 2025 Environment Reporting Award at the 37th One World Media Award ceremony on June 25. The list of media houses that collaborated on the 'Poison PR' investigation included Lighthouse Reports, The Wire, Africa Uncensored, The New Lede, The Guardian, The New Humanitarian, the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) and Premium Times Nigeria. The other nominees for the Environmental Reporting Award were the online text story ' Cattle Hustle ' by Mekong Eye, and a video story ' The 'black box' of the Mare Doricum ' by Producer and reporter Cynthia Gichiri of Africa Uncensored who was also part of the Poison PR investigation with her video story on the profiling of African activists and scientists by the US-based reputation management firm was among the three nominated for the One World Media's 'Journalist of the Year' award. 'It is as important as ever to celebrate the journalists and filmmakers who risk so much to bring us nuanced and in-depth storytelling, especially against a backdrop of intensifying global conflict and shrinking media freedom,' One World Media director Vivienne Francis said in a press statement. The Wire's Story The investigation by Lighthouse Reports, in partnership with The Wire and other international news houses, uncovered that v-Fluence had created a private social network that hosted profiles of over 500 individuals globally, including prominent Indian environmentalist Vandana Shiva, ecologist Debal Deb and other individuals including scientists and academics. Access to the network was invite-only and its members included agrochemical and biotechnology industry employees and allies from around the world, including India. This has raised concerns among some Indians profiled by v-Fluence about how their data might be used, highlighting potential risks to privacy. Scientists also told The Wire that 'critically profiling' activists and scientists is detrimental to scientific temper in a democracy like India, especially at a time when there is 'general hostility' towards civil service organisations. Among the eight Indians who had access to the network was Raghavan Sampathkumar, the Executive Director of the Federation of Seed Industry of India (FSII). Sampathkumar, an agribusiness professional, has been working in the fields of GM crops, animal protein and agricultural trade while also engaging in policy advocacy and public relations outreach for agriculture enterprises. The FSII has ties to agro-industry companies and is involved in a project with the Ministry of Agriculture and Farmers Welfare for deploying technologies to agro-ecological zones allotted for cotton production. Another member was Anand Ranganathan, the consulting editor of the Indian right-wing magazine Swarajya. Ranganathan, who is a regular political commentator, has also worked with the International Centre for Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology (ICGEB) as staff research scientist. The ICGEB partners with the Department of Biotechnology and the Department of Science and Technology, under the Union Ministry of Science and Technology, for supporting biotech research and development. However, Ranganathan told Lighthouse Reports and The Wire that this was the first he was hearing of this network and that he has never been associated with it, or the people who run the network. He also said that he had never used the network's services, and that although he was pro-GMO, he 'wholeheartedly condemned' such malpractices or 'any unethical and malicious practices or espionage against those who are anti-GMO'. This is the second honour for The Wire at the 2025 One World Media Awards. A five-part multimedia series, ' Breaking the Nets: An Oral History of India's Fisherwomen, ' has been awarded in the Innovative Storytelling category. It was reported by Shamsheer Yousaf, Monica Jha and Sriram Vittalamurthy. The Wire is now on WhatsApp. Follow our channel for sharp analysis and opinions on the latest developments.

Anushka Sharma, Virat Kohli Sit Outside A Bakery In London; Video Goes Viral
Anushka Sharma and Virat Kohli tied the knot in 2017. The couple has two children, daughter Vamika and son Akaay. Anushka Sharma and Virat Kohli are living their perfect life, away from the glamour and glitz. The two, who moved to London last year, were recently spotted hanging out in the city. In a video that surfaced on social media, Anushka and Virat were seen sitting outside a bakery in London. They were seen without their kids – Vamika and Akaay, as they spent some quality time together. Anushka Sharma and Virat Kohli first met in 2013 while shooting for a television commercial. The two fell in love with each other but kept their relationship under wraps. In 2017, they tied the knot in an intimate ceremony in Italy. The couple welcomed their first child, a baby girl in January 2021 and named her Vamika. In February 2024, they became parents once again when they welcomed a baby boy. Following the birth of their baby, the couple moved to London. It was said that they wanted to live a normal life, away from the stardom. Madhuri Dixit's husband, Dr Nene, had revealed the same during his conversation with Ranveer Allahbadia. Recalling his interaction with Anushka, Dr Nene had said, 'I'll tell you something, and this is what you learn, they all put their pants on one leg at a time. We had a conversation with Anushka one day, and it was very interesting. They were thinking about moving to London because they can't enjoy their success (here). And we appreciate what they go through, because anything they do attracts attention. We almost become isolated." Meanwhile, on the work front, Anushka Sharma has taken a step back from acting since her 2018 film Zero, where she starred alongside Shah Rukh Khan and Katrina Kaif. However, the actress is gearing up for a major comeback with Chakda Xpress, a biographical film based on the life of cricket legend Jhulan Goswami. The project is highly anticipated and marks her return to the big screen after a hiatus. First Published: July 03, 2025, 15:18 IST

Microsoft layoffs hit Xbox division hard; 10% of Candy Crush team cut, multiple games cancelled
Microsoft has begun a sweeping round of job cuts within its gaming division, affecting hundreds of employees across its global operations, Bloomberg an Xbox spokesperson declined to provide an exact number, the redundancies are said to be 'widespread and significant,' according to sources familiar with the matter. The layoffs span multiple studios and regions. King, the Stockholm-based mobile game developer known forCandy Crush, is reportedly letting go of 10 per cent of its workforce, approximately 200 staff. Other European teams, including ZeniMax, have also initiated job reductions. Several high-profile subsidiaries of Microsoft Gaming, such as Raven Software, Sledgehammer Games, Halo developer 343 Industries, and Turn 10 Studios, known forForza Motorsport, have all been affected. Multiple long-term projects have been scrapped as a result. UK-based Rare Studio's fantasy titleEverwild, which had been in development for years, has been cancelled. ZeniMax Online Studios' original online game has also been shelved. Both studios will see staff reductions following the cancellations. Notably, the report highlighted that Xbox has further axed its planned reboot of Perfect Dark and closed The Initiative, the studio co-developing the game. In a memo to staff, Xbox Game Studios head Matt Booty cited the decisions as part of a 'broader effort to adjust priorities and focus resources' for success in an evolving industry. The redundancies form part of Microsoft's latest wave of job cuts, which will see 9,000 roles eliminated companywide, its second major round this year. In May, the tech giant cut 6,000 roles, largely in product and engineering departments. The current cuts will span multiple teams, regions, and levels of seniority, with an emphasis on streamlining processes and removing layers of management. Phil Spencer, CEO of Microsoft Gaming, acknowledged the difficult decisions in an internal email, stating the company must prioritise its strongest opportunities to ensure long-term growth, added the report. While no specific figures were provided, Spencer assured affected employees they would receive 'priority review' for other roles within Microsoft. Despite the setbacks, Spencer maintained that the company's roadmap across platforms, hardware, and games 'has never looked stronger.' Employees within the gaming division had anticipated further restructuring since May, when speculation grew that Xbox could face deeper cuts. This marks the fourth significant round of layoffs within Xbox in the past 18 months. The division, which employed around 20,000 people as of January, has faced increasing pressure to deliver higher margins following Microsoft's $69 billion acquisition of Activision Blizzard in late 2023.
