| MUMBAI:
Broadcasters today told the government that they were in favour of rigourously
implementing a self regulated code rather than one imposed by the government.
They expressed
this in a meeting with Information and Broadcasting Minister Ambika Soni to discuss
the issues relating to Content Code and regulation of television and broadcasting.
The
meeting is understood to be part of an ongoing dialogue on Content Code vis-à-vis
self-regulation. Most
of the broadcasters who attended the meeting today belonged to the News Broadcasters
Association, but some representatives of the Indian Broadcasting Foundation were
also present. Those present included NBA president G Krishnan, IBF chairman Jawahar
Goel, NBA secretary general Annie Joseph, India TV's Rajat Sharma and Star India
TV CEO Uday Shankar. |
