...That was then. In fact, of late, hidden cameras have become quite the thing in Indian journalism. Tehelka, an Internet news site that later became a newspaper, pioneered subterfuge when it launched in May 2000, using secret cameras to expose corruption in cricket and the armed forces.

When the L.S.E. moved to a new, high-tech headquarters last year, Queen Elizabeth herself stopped by to dedicate it.
