The article TV News & TRP Scam: Ex-BARC Employee Recalls ‘Accountability’ by Tarangini Kumar has been retracted on the basis of the Broadcast Audience Research Council’s (BARC’s) contention that it discloses the organisation’s confidential business information, subscriber details, and day-to-day operational details. The Quint has decided to take down the article after consulting with the author, who has asserted that it was written in good faith – and showed how the BARC painstakingly follows compliance guidelines issued in public interest by the Ministry of Information & Broadcasting.
