A section of electronic media seems to be upset with both the CMs of Telugu states. The personnel from an electronic media house shared what is being discussed in their offices.
“Had it been CBN, he would have spent upto INR 1000 Crore towards advertisements in electronic and print media for spreading awareness on coronavirus with his picture in every slide. But now both KCR and Jagan are not taking out a single penny but implying that the electronic media should do it as a social responsibility but not as business”, lamented a media head as per the personnel.
Another report says that a middle management guy from a popularly unpopular media channel that goes with three letters worried saying, “How can we survive? We have no advertisements from film industry or the other segments of business due to lockdowns and poor activity. At least, the government should do something for our survival like KCR announced Rs 1500 and provisions for white ration card people”.
Responding to this, a reporter commented in lighter note saying, “Yes, with the ‘yellow’ card of our boss, our channel used to have better privileges till 2018 than the present white ration card guys”.
On a whole, the above said channel is planning to go ahead with retrenchments as per an inside talk.
