And as Modi looks to win another five years in power in an ongoing nationwide election, critics fear further erosion of the protections afforded to India’s free press. “I think many times before I write stories,” Kappan told CNN. Since his bail, Kappan has struggled to find a permanent job to provide for his family. Kumar told CNN he resigned because Adani’s proximity to Modi and the BJP would leave him unable to continue asking tough questions of the government. “They gave no reasons nor any justifications for why they denied my permit,” she told CNN from Paris.

☆ ‘While We Watched’ Review: Muzzling the Media in Modi’s India
  + stars: | 2023-09-01 | by ( John Anderson | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
Ravish Kumar Photo: POVTV journalist Ravish Kumar is the inspiring and very beleaguered hero of “While We Watched,” though this “POV” documentary presentation might also have been called “Dharma for Dictators”: Don’t shut down the media, or declare it the enemy of the people. Just co-opt it to the point that nearly every broadcaster in the country, in this case India, is a propaganda tool of the beloved leader, in this case Prime Minister Narendra Modi .

☆ India's NDTV says president, other senior execs resign
  + stars: | 2023-01-13 | by ( ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +1 min
NDTV's chief strategy officer, Arijit Chatterjee, and chief technology and product officer, Kawaljit Singh Bedi, also quit, resignations that come after founders Prannoy Roy and Radhika Roy left the company's board in December. NDTV made several failed attempts to block the takeover, citing regulatory restrictions on moving shares. The ports-to-energy conglomerate's takeover had stoked fears over the freedom of the press among some journalists and led to Ravish Kumar, a senior executive editor at NDTV, resigning soon after Adani acquired its stake. While announcing the latest set of resignations, NDTV, in a regulatory filing, said, "The company is in the process of putting up a new leadership team which will set a fresh strategic direction and goals for the company."

☆ Billionaire Adani to control nearly 65% of NDTV as founders sell stake
  + stars: | 2022-12-23 | by ( ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +3 min
The husband-and-wife team will sell a 27.26% stake in NDTV to Adani-owned entity AMG Media Network and retain a combined 5%, regulatory filings by NDTV showed on Friday. "The AMG Media Network, after the recent open offer, is now the single largest shareholder in NDTV. Consequently, with mutual agreement we have decided to divest most of our shares in NDTV to the AMG Media Network," the founders said in a statement. Ravish Kumar, a senior executive editor of NDTV, resigned soon after Adani acquired the entity backed by NDTV's founders. Founded in 1988 and owned by the husband-and-wife team, NDTV had previously said that the move by Adani "was executed without any input from, conversation with, or consent of the NDTV founders".
☆ Billionaire Adani becomes NDTV's biggest shareholder after open offer
  + stars: | 2022-12-05 | by ( ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +2 min
BENGALURU, Dec 5 (Reuters) - Indian billionaire Gautam Adani's conglomerate on Monday raised its stake in New Delhi Television Ltd (NDTV.NS) to more than 37% through an open offer, making it the biggest shareholder of one of the country's most popular news networks. Although Adani's group was looking to take another 26% stake in NDTV, the open offer attracted bids for just 5.3 million shares, translating to an 8.3% interest in the company. Last week, Adani acquired a stake of about 29.2% in NDTV by buying a company backed by the television network's founders, Radhika Roy and Prannoy Roy, who have a 32.3% stake in NDTV. In the open offer that concluded Monday, corporate investors tendered 3.9 million shares, while retail investors offered to sell over 706,000 shares. Adani had offered to buy NDTV shares at 294 rupees in the open offer, which represents a 25% discount to Monday's closing price.
