NDTV won’t apologise for Pathankot coverage
MUMBAI: New Delhi Television Ltd (NDTV) has told the Supreme Court that it will not tender an apology for its coverage of the Pathankot airbase terror attack on 2 January 2016.
Senior advocate Harish Salve, appearing for NDTV, informed a bench of justices AK Sikri and Ashok Bhushan who briefly heard the matter that the channel will not tender an apology for its coverage.
Law officer solicitor-general Ranjit Kumar said that, since NDTV had refused to furnishing a letter of apology, there was no other option but to hear the matter on merit. The case will be heard after three weeks.
The government had imposed a one-day blackout order against NDTV India (since held in abeyance) which will be reversed after it offers an apology.
On 3 November, 2016, the ministry of information & broadcasting (I&B) asked NDTV India to go off-air for a day on 9 November for revealing sensitive details on the Pathankot attack.
NDTV then moved the apex court challenging the constitutional validity of the order and the provisions of law pursuant to which the said order has purportedly been passed.

CNBC India unveils new logo, rolls out refreshed identity across network
Debuted at IBLA, the redesign signals a sharper, digital-first future
MUMBAI: CNBC has unveiled a refreshed brand identity across its India network, introducing a new logo and visual system that reflects a more modern, digital-first direction.
The rebrand was officially revealed at the India Business Leader Awards held in Mumbai on March 14, marking the first public showcase of the updated design at one of the network’s most prominent platforms.
The overhaul is among the most visible brand updates for CNBC in recent years, aimed at aligning its look and feel with evolving audience habits and a growing multi-platform presence.
At the centre of the refresh is a redesigned logo that moves away from the network’s long-standing multi-coloured peacock motif, opting instead for a cleaner and more minimalist aesthetic. A key visual cue is a blue upward-pointing arrow embedded within the letter ‘N’, symbolising forward momentum, growth and a focus on the future.
The new identity is being rolled out across the entire CNBC cluster in India, including CNBC-TV18, CNBC-TV18 Prime, CNBCTV18.com, CNBC Awaaz and CNBC Bajar. The move brings a more cohesive and contemporary design language across television and digital platforms alike.
The rollout began on March 30, with the network aiming to create a unified viewer experience regardless of how audiences access its content, be it on broadcast, online or connected devices.
With this refresh, CNBC is signalling its next phase of growth in India, blending legacy credibility with a sharper, forward-looking identity designed for an increasingly digital news ecosystem.
