Protect media freedom, EC urged

A private Tamil television channel has submitted a representation to the Chief Electoral Commissioner alleging that the State government-run Tamil Nadu Arasu Cable TV Corporation has blacklisted it, ever since it ran the results of an opinion poll on the April 6 Assembly election.

The channel urged the Election Commission of India to ensure the freedom of media.
