Govt to discuss content code for TV news channels: Soni

The issue of content code for television news channels will be discussed with all stake
holders to find a solution, Union Information and Broadcasting minister Ambika Soni on Friday said.

"The content code issue will be discussed with all stakeholders and a solution to the problem worked out," she told reporters after inspecting her chamber in Shastri Bhavan
and meeting ministry officials here.

On the differences between Prasar Bharati CEO B S Lalli and the public broadcaster's board, Soni said "the matter is subjudice. But I will study all the relevant documents".
She said that with Commonwealth Games scheduled for next year, her ministry would step up preparations to ensure high quality broadcast of the mega sporting event.

The minister said the issue of providing medical facilities under CGHS to mediapersons will be looked into.
