News network bid
If one is to go by the claim of the founders of a private television channel which is the subject of a hostile takeover bid, the point that the deal was executed by keeping them in the dark is a reminder of how things have changed so drastically. In the pre-Independence-era, newspapers were published as a national or public service. The pungent and effective diatribes reflected in the writing of fearless and public-spirited journalists put the authorities in a zone of discomfort. As such, the media became a means of political participation, so financing the media was considered as an act of philanthropy.
