Telugu news channel ‘10TV’ launched

A 24-hour Telugu news channel ‘10TV’ was launched on March 16th 2013 in Hyderabad. Speaking at the launch of channel Former Editor-in-Chief of The Hindu, N. Ram said, ‘The attitude of denial in the changing face of journalism will be disastrous for reporters, particularly those belonging to the print media. Though the print and television media in the country were in the growth mode, there had been a slowdown in recent years for obvious reasons such as the entry of digital media. Old news media such as radio and newspapers are on the decline as fewer people are reading newspapers and listening to the radio and at the same time, more and more people are accessing news from digital media, though there is no established business model for digital content. 

He further added, one needs to embrace digital/internet journalism as newer technologies are being unveiled. It can bring good revenues, growth and audience. Developed countries are desperate for digital news business already. It might take a few more years for countries like India to reach that stage. However, the trend will overtake us in the near future. Digital journalism can provide good dividends for the future. 

Among others who spoke at launch were ‘10TV’ Chairman K. Nageshwar, political leaders T. Devender Goud (TDP), T. Harish Rao (TRS), B.V. Raghavulu CPI (M) and Jayaprakash Narayan (LSP).
