THE BRIEF: Electric moment
By Tony Bosworth in Media News on Thursday, 13th November 2025 at 6:13am
It's all about Net Zero today and whether the Liberals will announce they are doing away with the aspiration by 2050 to get to a point where the country reaches the state in which the greenhouse gases going into the atmosphere are balanced by removal out of the atmosphere. Typically this could be done - in theory - by switching as much as possible over to electric power which in turn is produced by non-fossil fuels. Oh, and growing more carbon-sucking trees. Coalition partners the Nationals have already dumped any aims along those lines, at least by a set date, and the Liberals are split. The smart money is on them also dumping net zero today - but we shall see what form that takes.
The papers all take a look at this with The Australian turning to two of their top journos, Greg Brown and Jack Quail, to pen the main front pager ('High-energy Liberals to work without a net').
The daily national uses the picture - The Oz's by Martin Olman at Newswire - which is on pretty

Manipuris remember N.K. Sanajaoba, the fearless voice of Manipur’s press
By Staff Writer in Media News on Wednesday, 12th November 2025 at 9:00pm
November 11, 2025, marked the 30th death anniversary of N.K. Sanajaoba, one of Manipur’s most fearless journalists, writers, and thinkers. Known widely by his pen name Thengra, Sanajaoba’s investigative writings in Lamyanba Journal gave a new direction to Manipuri journalism and inspired generations to speak truth to power.
Born on December 30, 1936, in Singjamei Wagam Kshetri Leikai, Imphal, Sanajaoba was a man of many talents — a journalist, teacher, broadcaster, scout leader, trade unionist, and cultural activist. He began his education at Khongman LP School and graduated from DM College, where he served as the magazine secretary and displayed an early passion for writing and public life.
Sanajaoba founded the monthly journal Lamyanba and became its first editor under the Pan Manipuri Youth League (PMYL). The publication became a platform for fearless commentary and social reform, though it often drew government crackdowns. According to Imphal Times, every editor of Lamyan

By Staff Writer in Media News on Wednesday, 12th November 2025 at 8:56pm
TV Today Network reported a consolidated net loss of Rs 1.98 crore for the September quarter, mainly due to exceptional costs, Best Media Info reported. The company had posted a net profit of Rs 8.27 crore during the same period last year.
Before accounting for these one-time expenses, the company’s profit stood at Rs 5.26 crore. In February 2025, TV Today Network had signed an agreement with Creative Channel to sell its three FM radio stations in Mumbai, Delhi, and Kolkata for Rs 20 crore and received an advance of Rs 10 crore. However, when the deal was cancelled, the network retained the advance but recorded a loss of Rs 17.61 crore on its radio assets, resulting in Rs 7.61 crore being shown as exceptional items for the quarter.
Revenue from operations fell 9.3% to Rs 187.55 crore, compared to Rs 206.77 crore a year earlier. Revenue from television and other media operations stood at Rs 185.68 crore, while radio income plunged 52.3% to Rs 1.87 crore. Total expe
AIM hosts 14th Indian Magazine Congress 2025
By Staff Writer in Media News on Wednesday, 12th November 2025 at 4:58pm
The Association of Indian Magazines (AIM), the apex body representing over 40 publishers and more than 300 magazine brands in India, hosted the 14th edition of its flagship event — the Indian Magazine Congress (IMC) — at The Imperial Hotel, New Delhi, on August 8, 2025.
This year’s Congress theme, The Deep Connect, highlighted how, in a world flooded with fast, fleeting content, magazine brands stand apart by curating credible, emotionally resonant and intellectually rich narratives for clearly defined reader communities. Whether in print, on digital platforms, or through live experiences, magazines are uniquely positioned to anchor deeply engaged reader ecosystems.
IMC 23 explored how magazines must evolve — not by mimicking the superficial churn of the digital world but by mastering it. Through innovative product thinking, dynamic storytelling formats, and platform-agnostic community strategies, magazine publishers can redefine their relevance and influence in the new med

Confirming that Monday’s blast near Red Fort was a terror attack, Delhi Police has filed an FIR under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act. The initial intel assessment is that the blast was set off by a Jaish-e-Muhammed module wanting to avenge the damage inflicted on the Bahawalpur HQ of the outfit during Operation Sindoor.
Hot Off the Press
The initial investigation indicates that the handlers were based in Turkiye and Nangarhar in Afghanistan. They were in touch with Umar and other members of the module, reported Rajshekhar Jha for The Times of India.
Sleuths suspect that Umar panicked after the arrest of his associate and the main accused in the Faridabad module, Muzammil Ahmad Ganaie, and hit the road with the car with explosives to escape arrest. He was on the move continuously, suspecting that the cops were on his trail. Some investigators believe that Umar may have tried to dispose of or hide the e
