NEW DELHI: Union Minister of Information and Broadcasting Prakash Javadekar on Monday disapproved of “TRP-centric journalism”, saying meters installed in 50,000 houses cannot measure the opinion of crores of people.
He also asserted that the freedom of press has to be preserved at any cost in a democracy but media should remember that freedom comes with responsibility.
“TRP-centric journalism is not good. The meters installed in 50,000 houses cannot measure the opinion of 22 crores. We would expand its circumference so that we know what the people watch and what they wish to watch,” he said at an IIMC event. (AGENCIES)
