Counting day winner

IN Media Watch Briefs | 15/05/2018

NDTV was trailing early on in getting the accurate trend in Karnataka, compared to  CNN News18 which lead  all the channels in coming closest to the eventual result. It announced early on that it had is own reporters in every counting centre in Karnataka, and was showing the yawning gap between Congress and BJP long before the others did. And at the hour of 11 am which all the parties and channels had said would show the definitive picture, the fastest results were not from TV but from ECI via Nielsen on the web, which was showing 120 seats going to the BJP.
