The International Cricket Council (ICC) has cancelled the accreditation of entire electronic media for Wednesday's World Cup semi-final match between India and Pakistan in Mohali.
"Please be advised that your accreditation has been cancelled for Wednesday's ICC Cricket World Cup 2011 semi-final match between India and Pakistan in Mohali. You will therefore not be granted a media match-day ticket and will not be allowed to enter the ground. In addition, you will not have access to any event-related activities such as pre and post-match media conferences and team training sessions," said the ICC commnique to TV channels
ICC has alleged that TV channels are using more TV footage than was agreed upon. There have been violations of media terms and conditions, which the non-rights holders had signed on and agreed to abide by while applying for media accreditation for the ICC Cricket World Cup.
However, TV channels have strongly criticised the ICC decision as infringement of media rights.

'Reporters are now editors without much field experience'
Media Hive News Network
March 28, 2011
Reporters are made editors when they should have done reporting for 10 more years. They don't have confidence in their own content. They think more of what the other news channels have done. This was the observation of CNBC Awaaz editor Sanjay Pugalia at a panel discussion, "The Future of Electronic News", held during the recently-concluded FICCI Frames in Mumbai.
"They (editors) don't have an idea of what can work and lose confidence in their own content. Every morning, instead of thinking what we are doing today, we think of what the other channels have done," Pugalia said when another panelist, MCCS CEO Ashok Venkataramani, pointed out that despite news channels having national network and bureaus, 40-45 per cent of the stories come from the stringers.
"We need to break ourselves out of the rat race and kick out the intruders and non-serious players. It is wrong to give frivolous content in the name of competition," Pugalia remarked.
Besides, Pugalia and Venkataramani, the other panelists were TV Today Network executive director & CEO G Krishnan and UTV Global Broadcasting CEO M K Anand.
At another summit held in New Delhi on March 17, some senior journalists had laid emphasis on self-regulation. They felt that the sudden rise in news channels have also brought down the quality of news. CNN IBN, managing editor, Vinay Tewari suggested that new reporters and journalists needed to be well trained for better quality work.
Besides Tewari, MCCS, editor, Shazi Zaman; QW Naqvi ( news director, TV Today Network); Anurradha Prasad (CMD, BAG Films) and G Krishnan (CEO and executive director, Media and TV Today Network) also attended the meet and discussed the content of news channels and other issues related to TV channels.
