“Media Ethics Under Scrutiny: INDIA Alliance Takes a Stand Against 14 News Anchors”
In a bold move, the INDIA alliance has officially unveiled a list of 14 news anchors and their respective TV news channels that are slated to be boycotted. This decision, publicized through the Aam Aadmi Party’s social media handles, has sparked controversy, with the ruling NDA alliance criticizing the opposition for this action.
The INDIA alliance’s decision to boycott these news anchors stems from allegations of biased reporting and “communal coverage” of critical national issues, often diverting attention from matters of public interest. AAP took to Twitter to share the comprehensive list of anchors who will face the boycott, stating, “Pursuant to the decision taken by the INDIA Coordination Committee in its meeting on September 12, 2023, the INDIA parties will not send their representatives on the shows of the following anchors.”
The list includes prominent names from nine leading TV news channels across the nation: Aman Chopra, Amish Devgan, and Anand Narasimhan of News18; Aditi Tyagi of Bharat Express; Ashok Shrivastav of DD News; Sudhir Chaudhary and Chitra Tripathi of Aaj Tak; Rubika Liyaquat of Bharat24; Gaurav Sawant and Shiv Aroor of India Today; Prachi Parashar of India TV; Navika Kumar and Sushant Sinha of Times Now Navbharat; and Arnab Goswami of Republic Bharat. This move by the INDIA alliance has ignited a heated debate on the role of media and the boundaries of journalistic ethics in the country.
