Information & Broadcasting Minister Arun Jaitley on Thursday said that in view of the multifarious channels of information dissemination, the objective presentation of news should never become a casualty. He was speaking at the launch of the DD News Mobile Application and other e-initiatives of I&B Ministry on Thursday.
While the news domain is currently event-based, fiercely competitive and anchor driven, there is still room for news based on facts and correct information. The audience for information is very keen to have a comprehensive view of issues and events.
He said that the DD news mobile app would provide it a platform to instantly communicate objective news round-the-clock. This would add a new dimension to its profile in addressing the vast needs of the Indian audience.
It also addresses the changing profile of viewers who today sought information through the app mode.
Regarding the e-version of India-2015 and Bharat-2015, Jaitley said the availability of these publications on e-mode would enable the digital medium audience to utilise the information on India at large.
