Assam journalists discuss corruption in media

There are many Guwahati-based journalist cum documentary film makers (employed with professional media houses), who work for Prasar Bharati. There may be nothing wrong to produce documentaries for Doordarshan, but when you do it on issues related to the state forest department and take all advantages (from conveyance, to lodging in forest guest houses) during the shooting, is not it a corruption issue? You have already received (or will receive) the money from Prasar Bharati against all these expenditures, then why go for begging unethical support from the department?
