Barkha Dutt says her approach is different for her two shows “A daily show and weekly show are very different. On We The People, there is more of a chance to try new and creative options. The rigour of daily news deadlines leaves you with no time to choose and plan so there isn’t a creative choice of guests. Which is why I’ve started doing a lot more interviews on my 9 to 10 slot. It breaks from the trap of sameness. When you have a weekly, you can discover new commentators and panelists. My team is not allowed to use Google to find guests for We The People. I’m accused of being too demanding but I think it’s important. My producers for We The People have to meet people physically. Meet a Colin Gonsalves and he will get five more names. But for a daily, I admit it’s a problem to have that kind of scrutiny or involvement in selecting guests.”
