The Times Group has chosen to editorialise through the Economic Times rather than its flagship paper in response to the TRAI chairman's idea of creating a buffer between a media entity and its ownership. "The basis of free speech is the right to start a publication to express one's views, not just to start in a park and shout out loud." (editorial, 20 June) It refers to the buffer proposal as well as the cross media regulation proposal as "nutty ideas."
