A report by the Business Standard in 2012 claimed that more than one-third of the TV news channels in India are being used as “political vehicles” to influence local elections. A far-reaching analysis by The Hoot, a South Asian media watchdog, concludes that more and more sections of the Press are now being controlled by politicians or political parties.

Now we know why the Hindi 24/7 news channel Aaj Tak has been winning so many awards for being No.
