The News Broadcasters & Digital Association (NBDA) has unanimously elected India TV chairman Rajat Sharma as its president.
He replaces Avinash Pandey, the former CEO of ABP Network.
Sharma said that the TV news industry is at a critical juncture and NBDA needs to collectively work together to advance the interests of the genre, which is operating under tremendous pressure.
“It is our responsibility to ensure that we are allowed to operate in a fearless atmosphere to deliver free and fair news,” he added.
NBDA is the largest organisation of news broadcasters and digital media in India, consisting of almost all major news networks in the country.
