Senior journalist and President of the Editors Club of India, Amitabh Agnihotri, has said that he is ending his association with TV9 Network.
Agnihotri, who had been associated with TV9 Network as Consulting Editor for nearly four years, shared the update through a social media post. He confirmed the development to e4m and said he was now set to begin work on a new media initiative.
Preparations for the venture are currently underway, with an office being developed in Sector 62, Noida. Agnihotri said further details about the project will be shared in due course.
Amitabh Agnihotri began his career in 1989 with Dainik Jagran after completing his journalism studies at the Indian Institute of Mass Communication, Delhi. He was part of the team during Dainik Jagran’s Delhi launch and later worked as a Special Correspondent in the National Bureau of Aaj in 1994.
Agnihotri went on to spend nearly a decade with Dainik Bhaskar, before joining Deshbandhu as Local Editor in 2008. He later transitioned into television journalism, serving as Managing Editor at Total TV and News Plus.
His career also includes stints as Editor-in-Chief with the India Now Group—though the channel did not eventually launch—and later as CEO and Editor-in-Chief of K-News. After a brief tenure there, he joined Network18 as Executive Editor (Hindi Network), followed by a role as Editor-in-Chief at the Hindi news channel R9.
Agnihotri joined TV9 Network thereafter as Consulting Editor, a position he has now stepped down from.
