Dr Prannoy Roy, the executive co-chairman of NDTV, was conferred the RedInk Award for lifetime achievement at a function here tonight.
The award, comprising a trophy and a citation, has been instituted by the Mumbai Press Club.
Speaking on the occasion, Roy said TV channels should go beyond the "tabloid news culture", and focus on well-researched quality journalism.
He, however, added that the judiciary should control this initiative and not the government.
