The moderator asks the Indian panelist, Arnab Goswami, that "how is the audience in India?"

In a powerful reply, Goswami goes on and says "The hegemony of western media has to end. The western media had it too good for too long and it has ruined the power of balance."

He added, "I want to share some data with you all. The most interested audience in watching news is Indians and the least interested are Americans and British, but still 74% British and Americans contribute to the source of news - if I have to summarize it in one sentence then the British and Americans have more dominance on the world media."

He adds to this and says, "India will go on and become the media capital of the world. I would like to explain why I said so, we have 99,000 publications in India, we have 13,761 registered newspapers in India, we have 404 news channels in India which run 24*7."

The fact of the matter is to restore the balance by creating a global media environment that is not located out of New York, Washington and when you create that environment you will have balance."
