Thread: After the release on Sasikala's property, some of u asked me abt the relation between VV Mineral Vaikundarajan and News 7 channel. News 7 is run by Alliance broadcasting Pvt Ltd whose 4 directors are sons of Vaikundarajan & his brother Jagadeesan(1/7) 
Subramanian and Velmurugan, sons of Vaikundarajan and Chenthilrajan and Muthurajan, sons of Jagadeesan r the Directors. They r also Directors of many others VV group companies as well. For ex: I have shown here the directorship of Subramanian Vaikundarajan (2/7)
SO YES, News 7 is owned by Vaikundarajan family with said initial investment of 60 Cr.Obviously we all know where the money came from!Its not just News 7. Same kind of issues can be traced to few other mainstream channels also. Can these channels actually report Corruption? (3/7)
Many of u ask me that while most of the visual channels come to Arappors press meet of Corruption expose, y they r reported on TV. Y r they not debated? After knowing these issues, it would be naive on the part of the citizens to expect them from such mainstream channels! (4/7)
Bcaz of the nature of these business houses, they can be easily pressurized by the Govt to not report on many Corruption. In our experience, except for few print media such as Hindu & TOI & a few tamil magazines, Tamil print and visual media succumbs to pressure easily(5/7)
Add to these,Govt advertisements & Arasu TV issues faced.Doesnt give any hope for many of these mainstream media to change in the short run!The main hope for us could be online media funded by people. In English,we r seeing Wire, Newsminute etc boldly reporting many issues (6/7)
Other hope for future r some excellent honest Journalists within every media house.Some fight in these channels and tell us with frustration hoe their media refuses to carry Corruption stories.Honest Journalists must find ways to make d mainstream media do honest Journalism(7/7)
