Interacting with the media, Jaitley said that the paradigms of information had expanded with the steady growth of electronic, print and digital media in the country. The information scenario had changed drastically since the days when the only sources of information were Doordarshan and Prasar Bharati. Currently, the media landscape had seen unprecedented growth within the radio and new media streams. 

In his interaction with the media, Col. Rajyavardhan Singh Rathore, the Minister of State for Information and Broadcasting, who also assumed charge, said that he would strive to fulfil the responsibilities given to him. 

Jaitley also thanked outgoing Minister Prakash Javadekar for his unrelenting role in taking forward the mandate of the Ministry of I&B.
