Dainik Bhaskar - IT Raids: Empowering the Readers and Road to profitability
The IT department claims - "Cyclical trading and transfer of funds among group companies engaged in unrelated businesses to the tune of Rs 2,200 crore has been found. The enquiries have confirmed that these have been fictitious transactions without any actual movement or delivery of goods".
These charges are definitely of serious nature. It is true striking the elementary balance between commercial interests and social purposes or ethical journalism
However, lastly in this context, one can refer to what Editor, Inder Malhotra, once said, "Newspaper circulations were small and salaries were smaller still. Corruption among journalists was so petty it was almost laughable".
He claimed that once a member Delhi Municipal Committee offered a bribe of 50 paisa for every line written to the reporters.
Another version is when the Working Journalists Act gave job security, it also made journalists beholden to the government.
