Atanu Bhuyan (born 12 October 1963) is an Indian broadcast journalist based in Assam state in northeastern India. He was the founding editor-in-chief of satellite channels News Live and Assam Talks.
He resigned his position as editor-in-chief of News Live and was later removed from the Board of the Directors of the channel after controversial remarks on social media.[1][2][3] In November 2017, he joined DY 365 as consulting editor.[4] In May 2021 he became the Editor-In-Chief of DY 365.
Controversies[edit]
Representatives from the Tai-Ahom community in Assam alleged that Bhuyan had posted derogatory comments against an Ahom woman on his Facebook wall in late 2011. Bhuyan claimed that someone had hacked into his Facebook account.[5]
Bhuyan resigned in July 2012 from his position as editor-in-chief after an enquiry into a reporter's videographing of a molestation in Guwahati. Bhuyan defended the reporter's actions, stating that it led to the arrest of the culprits.[6][2]
