Writing on the wall

IN Media Watch Briefs | 16/05/2014

The Indian Express reported in a page one anchor on May 16 the details of how the I and B ministry put DD, AIR and all other media under it to work to ensure a Congress re-election. With the party headed for its lowest tally ever, we know now for sure that a government controlled broadcaster does not deliver for the party in power. Good reason for the new government to give up control and give Prasar Bharati autonomy.
