My friend in the media recently
commented on how hard they have to
work on days there is “no news”.
What she implied was how hard the
media has to work to create news
that “hooks” on their viewers. P N
Vasanti has her opinion on it. 
On 23 September, TRAI released a
consultation paper on cross media
ownership restrictions. The issue is
an important one as the Indian market
is very large with low income and low
literacy level.
This is the text of much talked about
self regulatory code framed by the
News Broadcasters Association which is
to be implemented by a nine member
authority headed by Justice Verma
Former Chief Justice of India.
