The Delhi Union of Journalists (DUJ) on Wednesday said it was shocked at news reports of “NDTV is being bought up by the Adani Group”.
“It is evident that the two oligarchs of the Indian economy have decided to parcel out the entire media industry between them, leaving no room for independent players. TV media has increasingly become the voice of the corporates and certain political parties,” said a DUJ statement.
The DUJ said: “Cross-media holdings and media monopolies ensure that the views of the government and big business are replicated without deviation across channels. So blatant is the bias that during every people's movement, there is an open rejection of certain TV channels and their anchors. Both during the CAA protests and the farmers' struggle, people loudly questioned the propaganda blitzkrieg by these channels.”
