"Obviously regional is the market. The growth of Indian media is still healthy double-digit as far as television media is concerned. Politics is the bread and butter content for a news network. So, unless and until you are relevant in the national arena, you possibly do not get that identity," said Barun Das, MD & CEO of TV9 Network during a discussion with Litisha Mangat Panda, head of business-digital Odisha Television Network at the ‘Foresight 2024’ in Bhubaneswar.
When we think of nation development, we typically think of it as the govt's job alone. According to me, that is wrong. In my view, nation development is everyone's job, be it a marketer, media person, banker, or bureaucrat, said Barun Das, MD & CEO of TV9 Network while speaking on the topic 'News Plus: The Future of News' at OTV's annual convention ‘Foresight 2024’ in Bhubaneswar.
He also said, "Media can be a force for good, a force for destruction. For example, deliberate orchestration of misinformation and rumours on social media often causes real societal problems."
