When state authorities impose blanket internet shutdowns, journalists are turning to peer-to-peer Bluetooth mesh networks. Apps like Bridgefy allow reporters to transmit encrypted text and low-res images directly between offline devices.
The Bharat Media Association highlights this off-grid innovation. By daisy-chaining smartphones, field reporters create invisible, localized internet webs, ensuring that state-sponsored digital blackouts cannot suppress vital ground realities from reaching the public.
