Whatsapp chats of Arnab Goswami

The News Broadcasters Association (NBA) on Monday said the WhatsApp chats of Arnab Goswami were shocking.
In a statement, the NBA said Republic TV be expelled from the Indian Broadcasting Foundation.
The NBA Board called for Republic TV to be left out of the BARC rating system till the final court order in the matter.
These WhatsApp messages not only reflect manipulation of ratings but is also about power play, it said.
The messages exchanged go on to refer to the appointment of Secretaries, Cabinet reshuffle, access to the PMO (Prime Minister’s Office) and the workings of the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting.
“This only confirms the many and continuous allegations made by NBA in the last four years that ratings were being manipulated by a non-NBA member broadcaster in connivance with BARC’s top management officials,” the statement said.
“It is indeed with dismay that NBA notes the fact that in spite of having a damning verdict in its possession since July 2020, BARC sat on the forensic report for several months, which brought to light these manipulations. This is a glaring example of the systemic lack of transparency that has prevailed right since the inception of BARC,” it said.
The NBA Board demanded that BARC make a statement about the veracity of its ratings for the period that is under audit, conduct an audit of the Hindi news genre, expunge the data of Republic TV and re-state the rankings of all news channels.
