NDTV has been home to the country's finest broadcast talent.Twenty-three offices and studios across the country house the most modern and sophisticated production, newsgathering and archiving facilities. Its three national news channels NDTV 24/7, NDTV India, and NDTV Profit continue to raise the standards of journalism with innovative programming and uncompromising integrity. The company has gone beyond news, as well, with the introduction of a slew of infotainment channels catering to the Indian viewer. NDTV is considered to be the best breeding ground for future media persons and has been a harbinger of the media revolution which has swept the Indian television industry.Its campaigns like the “7 Wonders of India” and “Toyota Telethon” have garnered public support and are a commendable attempt at preserving the envoironment and our natural heritage. It has a varied programming bouquet and caters to diverse tastes with shows on Automobiles & Mobile Phones.Talk shows such as BIG FIGHT,INDIA 60 MINUTES, WALK THE TALK, WE THE PEOPLE have been path breaking concepts. They have provided viewers with in-depth analysis of issues and have garnered a plethora of awards for the channel and the network. Constantly being in public eye though leads to criticisms and praise and the network has had to deal with both. The channel has often been critcized for being heavily biased against the main opposition party BJP.The channel is often blamed for bias reporting in favour of the Indian Nationalist Congress and acting as mouthpiece of the Indian Nationalist Congress.But at all times there has been an uncomprimising emphasis on preserving integrity and credibility of its news reporting.Its unrelenting coverage of starvation-deaths, malnutrition and other human rights violations has forced the government into action. It launched the "United for Justice" campaign seeking support from the citizens to demand justice in three high-profile unsolved murder cases "Jessica Lal, Priyadarshini Mattoo, Nitish Katara" leading to the conviction of the accused. With its foray into infotainment, (NDTV Imagine and Goodtimes), the company has become a full fledged media player and has seen a successful transformation from the days when it used to produce a solitary but pioneering show "THE WORLD THIS WEEK".Leveraging its broadcasting and programming excellence, NDTV has set-up NDTV Worldwide (Media Consulting), NDTV Convergence (Digital Media), NGEN (Media Process Outsourcing) and NDTV Labs (Media Software & Technology).
