News Broadcasters And Digital Association

A delegation of the News Broadcasters and Digital Association (NBDA), led by its president Rajat Sharma, met Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday and apprised him of the industry's concerns against the backdrop of the digital media's emergence.

The Supreme Court on Monday found fault with the existing self-regulatory mechanism to monitor TV news channels and sought the Centre's response, saying it wants to make it "more effective".

The News Broadcasters Association (NBA), India's largest body of news broadcasters, has decided to change its name to News Broadcasters and Digital Association (NBDA), it said in a statement.

The News Broadcasters Association - a group of 25 leading news and current affairs broadcasters - has challenged the new IT rules in the Kerala High Court, on grounds it gives "excessive powers" to interfere with freedom of speech of the media.

Union Minister for Information and Broadcasting Prakash Javadekar on Thursday said he has noted the suggestions put forward by the Digital News Publishers' Association (DNPA) after holding a meeting with them in the backdrop of new digital media rules

Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) chief J S Sarma said that "carriage fee" in the cable sector was expected to stay within a particular range and not reach astronomical figures.

“Carriage fee is now a well-regulated issue and it should be transparent. We will intervene if required but we won’t relook at the recommendations,” he said in an interview to NDTV.
