I&B Minister Manish Tewari Suggests Common Exam, License for Journalists
Tewari said there were good institutions to train journalists, but there were also "fly-by-night" operators in the media education sector. He said professionals from diverse fields would not resent the idea of a common exam.
"It would bring a certain amount of standardization across the media space," Tewari said while speaking at the event organized by CMS Academy here.
Press Council of India head Justice (retd.) Markandey Katju had earlier raised the demand for minimum qualifications for journalists.
Tewari also said TRAI should look into the demand of news channels to extend the time frame for implementing the 12 minute ad-cap till the final phase of digitization.
"I think it will be possibly worth the while of the regulator to seriously look into some of the issues which they have raised and see if they can give them a road map which is synchronous with digitization, so that we can have a seamless implementation of both digitization and the statutory remit," Tewari said.
