Incompetent reporting

IN Media Watch Briefs | 12/02/2013

On Tuesday the Supreme Court sought responses to two separate petitions filed by Zee Television, but you would not guess that from the way some papers reported it. The Economic Times said that apart from the petition seeking to quash three FIRs registered at the behest of Naveen Jindal's company Zee had filed a second petition. This one challenged the government's guidelines for uplinking and downlinking as being violative of the right to free speech. This does not come through in the reports carried in the Indian Express and the Hindustan Times.
