MUMBAI: Some of the most illustrious news TV industry professionals from rival channels turned out at the Holiday Inn in Mayurvihar, Delhi on the evening of 14 December 2024 to attend Indiantelevision.com’s NT Awards 2024, in its seventeenth edition.
The awards were preceded by the NT Summit which featured two panel discussions relating to how multiscreen viewing is impacting journalists and editors and the second focused on technological challenges and solutions. The room was filled to capacity.

The panelists agreed that the arrival of multiscreen viewing and the explosion in social media consumption has led to newsrooms being extra vigilant on how they source news leads from social media posts and how they ensure that the news they provide reaches out to different audience cohorts on different social media platforms and in formats that appeal to the viewers. This is especially in an era where trolling, fake news, lobbying and propaganda proliferation have become rampant on social media.
The second session talked about integrated newsrooms, how artificial intelligence is going to impact news journalism standards both positively and negatively, and the new tools available to reporters on the field, to editors and anchors in the studio and to technicians and graphics producer to enhance the viewing experience for watchers at home. The panellists included India.com chief product & technology officer Vivek Mishra, TV9 chief growth officer -broadcast & digital TV9 Network, Times Network vice-president - technical & broadcast operations Anil Mittal with the session being chaired by BCG partner Payal Mehta.
TVU general manger Subodh Aggarwal made a presentation about how news channels can Streamline media production with cloud based solutions.
The NT Awards was a moment of celebration for editors, producers, graphics and OAP teams reporters, anchors of prime time shows as the room filled to the capacity exploded with applause with the announcement of the nominees and winners names. The awards recognised good work in regional languages as well as in Hindi and in English.
