Nirmal Singh has created, developed, and produced many new innovative television shows including the world acclaimed and unique coverage of the Birmingham Riots of August 2011. He was responsible for the research, testing and implementation of the new technology and production of the programming that allowed this coverage to take place, documenting contentious footage in the name of real transparency with a value-led stance to show the truth.
Reflecting on this unique style of participatory, guerrilla Journalism, Rt Hon David Cameron, the Prime Minister stated in parliament: “Let me praise Sangat TV, that actually helped the police to catch a criminal, I thought that was a exercise of social responsibility by that media company, they should be praised.”
