Udupi, 02 July 2013: Media today has lost its practice of verifying the news for truth and analyzing whether the news which they are publishing is right or wrong, said senior journalist and Avadi editor G.N. Mohan. He was speaking upon inaugurating the Newspaper Day program organized by the Udupi district Journalists Association on Monday in Udupi.
Speaking further he said that, after the foreign media stepped into our country the view point of the journalism has completely changed. Instead of conveying the news of the people to the politicians, they are now conveying the news of the politicians to the people, he said.
The media has turned commercial and today they are looking for the customers and not the readers, said G.N. Mohan. If we become the bridge between the government and the people then we can make a big change in the society. Now our media has to become the bridge once again, he hoped.
On this occasion senior journalist of Kundapur and Kundaprabha newspaper editor U.S. Shenoy was conferred with the district newspaper day celebration honour. Journalism student Prema was given the College fee on behalf of the Association.
The program was presided over by Association President Kiran Manjanabailu. Association Chief Secretary Jayakara Suvarna welcomed the guests and the gathering. In the program the Association members, journalist students from various Colleges were present.
