Dear Sir
Subject: To create a healthy balance between news and commercials
Through the columns of your esteemed daily, I would like to raise the issue of news channels in India, airing more advertisements in comparison to foreign news channels. The 24 – hour TV news channels are a major source of information for the common man. However, of late the so-called “News” on TV has hit an all-time low. Driven primarily by ad sponsors and corporate lobbying, TV channels in India have been commercial–friendly. Look at the foreign news channels, news, prima facie, is more important than advertisements. The Indian TV news channels need to create a healthy balance between news and commercials. The main focus of TV news channels should be on education and entertainment. TV news channels should be entertainment–friendly rather than ad-friendly.
Yours faithfully
Elizabeth
