Public broadcaster Prasar Bharati has signed a two-year contract with Hindusthan Samachar (HS) to supply news feed for Doordarshan and All India Radio (AIR).
It is expected to provide 100 news stories every day to Prasar Bharati, which would include 10 national stories and 40 “local” ones in regional languages.
Prasar Bharati cancelled its subscription to Press Trust of India (PTI), the nonprofit cooperative of Indian newspapers in 2020.
Hindusthan Samachar was founded in 1948 by Shivram Shankar Apte, along with M.S. Golwalkar.
