Daya Thussu was still a student when he landed a subediting desk job at the Press Trust of India (PTI), then India’s largest news agency. It was the early 1980s, and the newsroom in New Delhi was alive with the clatter of telex machines delivering dispatches from across the world. At his desk, Thussu, then in his mid-20s, worked through two very different streams of international news. One came from established Western agencies, including Reuters. The other arrived through a little-known network connecting newsrooms across Asia, Africa and Latin America. “We would check the ticker to see what the story was and where it had come from,” Thussu says of his work with the Non-Aligned News Agencies Pool (NANAP).
