Facing criticism in the media on various issues, the West Bengal Government today said that it was mulling the possibility of having its own newspaper and a television channel.

“Government work is not being highlighted properly. We need our own news channel and paper to inform the people,” the Chief Minister, Ms Mamata Banerjee, told a convention here.

She said that the media was more focused on negative news about the Government and did not highlight the good work done.

She said a booklet on a year’s performance of the Government would be released by the state.
