‘If You Decide To Invite Guests Who Are Polarising...’: I&B Min Anurag Thakur

Thakur said the biggest threat to mainstream media are mainstream media channels itself.

Information & Broadcasting Minister Anurag Thakur on Monday, 19 September, made a strong pitch for “bringing back neutrality in news”, saying shrill debates may get television channels eyeballs but not credibility.

Addressing a function organised by the Asia-Pacific Institute for Broadcasting Development (AIBD), Thakur said the biggest threat to mainstream media is not from new age digital platforms, but mainstream media channels itself.
