Untitled[edit]

I doubt whether we should include terms like "the most popular" or even 'impartial'. Personally, I think Mr.Nikesh Kumar is by far the most popular news anchor and he is impartial too. But in a space like wikipedia, is it necessary to add; is debatable.

And his political allegiance in his college days cannot proven with the materials from internet. So I think it should not be there. (Niketsundaram1977 (talk) 09:54, 22 March 2008 (UTC))[reply]

more info needs to be added regarding Nikesh Kumar, and source of Tam reports are not quoted. I have also heard so, it is reliable, but some links should be given (Jeevanjoseph1974 (talk) 22:24, 27 February 2012 (UTC))[reply]

BLP Noticeboard[edit]

This article was reported to the BLP noticeboard. The content concerning the legal proceedings looks like a copyright issues with the source too much word for word text -- needs to be rewritten. Also, minor arrests and mugshots are not appropriate for bios under BLP unless they relate to some significant event. I have removed this section and it needs to be well referenced if it contains those types of materials and be a notable event standing on its own or it is precluded by BLP. 97.126.235.119 (talk) 02:13, 18 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Promotion pitch[edit]

wikipedia has lost all its standards by promoting a communist journalist. Kpbolumbu (talk) 16:34, 9 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The article is written in a tone that is not fit for academic or scholarly purposes. Need to have a much more non biased tone (182.69.64.52 (talk) 13:36, 21 August 2023 (UTC))[reply]


there is a lot of promotion pitch here like the usage of word "its social media subscription in climbing steadily". this does not suit wikipedia. (103.163.68.250 (talk) 13:30, 6 September 2023 (UTC))[reply]

But no inline citations are given. Will try to get references and news from mainstream media acknowledging the fact (Themisislegal (talk) 07:46, 21 October 2023 (UTC))[reply]

Along with the above, when we are reading, there are no inline citations and references to any claims and propositions made in the below passages. Many of such claims may be true like size of studio and all. But the entire article is written in a promotional tone with weasel words that needs restructuring.

""" Reporter TV has its head office and studio in Kochi. The main studio of about 15000 Sq. Ft, 4-floor studio complex is in Kalamassery, Kochi. The building houses two studio floors plus administrative floor. The land and the building is completely owned by the company.

The channel also has full-fledged bureaus in all district headquarters of the state. There are also studios in the state capital, Thiruvananthapuram and Kozhikode. Besides the state, the channel has fully equipped bureaus, studios and marketing offices in Delhi and Dubai.

Reporter TV boasts of one of the largest read online websites Reporter TV. .The Facebook page is subscribed by 2.4 million members to date and is climbing steadily.

Right from the inception of the channel, it was readied for online growth. As technology developed, channel easily adapted to the changes as it was foreseen. The channel also has a very active events department Reporter Entertainment Division (RED) which regularly holds award functions and events throughout the state.

The channel has also been updating itself very regularly and uses cutting edge technology to the maximum. This was recently on showcase when the Thrissur Pooram this year was completely broadcast live using only mobile technology, increasing mobility, manoeuvrability, more coverage and at the same time decreasing financial expenses.

The Channel has been rated highly by rating agencies. There has been a lull as the channel is no longer in ACV, the primary carrier in Kerala. But although the channel is not available in ACV, the viewership is such that it gives the main players in the market a run. This has gone on to show the popularity the channel enjoys in the Malayali community.

This has been mainly because the channel has positioned itself as completely non-partisan."""

Many of such claims may be true like size of studio and all. But the entire article is written in a promotional tone with weasel words that needs restructuring. And words like Non-Partisan, Cutting edge technolog, rated high, popularity of channel needs to be deleted. (Themisislegal (talk) 08:16, 21 October 2023 (UTC))[reply]
