Rajat Sharma:Chief of India TV.

Rajat Sharma is Chairman and Editor-in-Chief of India TV.

Inarguably the best-known face on Indian news television, Mr. Sharma has a reputation for standing up for issues and people, unafraid; and for being the voice of the viewer and of people in general.
This stature is no accident: it is the result of a career spent steadfastly walking the path of “credibility first”. It is the journey of a self-made man who has kept his feet firmly on the ground, a journalist for whom the viewer’s interest has been the paramount, even at the cost of ruffling some feathers.

Mr. Sharma’s distinctive style makes Aap Ki Adalat one of the most respected interview shows ever on Indian television. Besides its enviable guest list and memorable exchanges, Adalat is a benchmark for incisive-yet-polite interviewing, and continues to set standards in journalistic stamina, ratings and audience satisfaction. Now in its 13th year, ‘Adalat’ is the longest-running show on India news television, and has the unique distinction of having been a channel driver for three channels, first Zee, then Star Plus and now India TV!

India TV has just completed a little over two years of commercial operations. In this short period, under Mr Sharma’s leadership, the channel has created benchmarks in responsible reporting and a fresh approach to news. Indeed, India TV’s stings have inspired talk shows, Bollywood films, BBC documentaries and even Amul hoardings!

Mr Sharma read at Shriram College of Commerce. In an earlier role as Director (News) at Zee TV, Mr Sharma pioneered news broadcasting on non-government television in India.

Soon the channel slotted its Prime Time viewing -- from 8 to 11 p.m. -- as "Breaking News." Viewership grew and the channel is healthy -- out of the red. This success has had a cascading effect and "citizen journalism" is one of the hottest buzzwords in the news business these days. Most news broadcasters in India have already implemented some sort of citizen journalism initiative. Those left behind are in the process of putting something together.

Citizen journalism ,said Ashok Kumar Jha, is breaking free of this media bias. It is about writing on issues, which the reporter feels is important. It is about telling the world a first-person account. It is about showing everyone the world through the reporter's eyes. It is about the self-confidence that your opinion does matter to thousands of readers.
