Zee Media remains committed to unbiased news, public interest: Chandra

Media baron Subhash Chandra on Monday said despite various challenges, Zee Media remains committed to deliver unbiased and credible news focused on public interest. Addressing a press conference here, he asked all stakeholders, including viewers and regulatory bodies, to recognise and stand against the threats to press freedom. "A free and independent media is crucial for the health of our beloved country in terms of its economy, the social structure, protection of weaker people of society, reduction of corruption and finally the democracy," Chandra said. Media is considered as the fourth pillar of democracy but faces increasing pressure from the governing class, whether the legislature, executive, corporates and more, he said. There are structured attempts to malign the media to achieve their agenda, he added.

Facebook News tab will soon be unavailable as Meta scales back content

Meta will be sunsetting Facebook News in early April for users in the US and Australia as the platform further deemphasises news and politics. The feature was shut down in the UK, France and Germany last year. Launched in 2019, the News tab curated headlines from national and international news organisations, as well as smaller, local publications. Meta says users will still be able to view links to news articles, and news organisations will still be able to post and promote their stories and websites, as any other individual or organisation can on Facebook. The change comes as Meta tries to scale back news and political content on its platforms following years of criticism about how it handles misinformation and whether it contributes to political polarisation. "This change does not impact posts from accounts people choose to follow; it impacts what the system recommends, and people can control if they want more," said Dani Lever, a Meta spokesperson. "This announcement expands on
