Although the press sector is important in the country, neither the central nor the state government has taken any action to rectify it to date.
The press industry! Bringing about changes according to the times is a must. Therefore, the central and state governments’ information departments should provide concessions and advertisements to social welfare websites and publications.
That is, the circulation law is a law that favors corporate magazines. How much is sold in circulation has been a fraudulent act of concealment to this day. But, on the internet, it is possible to clearly count how many people are watching.
No one can be deceived in that. How many people viewed each online magazine’s visitors? That number will be there every hour. Here, corporate magazines also market on the internet and take those news to the people through votes.
However, magazines like ours, for ordinary people, do not market like that and make it a business online. Nevertheless, our qualified individuals’ magazine website traffic is increasing in parallel with theirs.
Therefore, if the same concessionary advertisements given to them are given to us, we will certainly grow in the journalism sector. However, the ulterior motive of the news department officials is commission, which prevents this from growing. It is for this commission that they do not recommend even deserving newspapers. This is the truth.
Besides this, in the previous DMK regime, the plight of the press was such that if DMK party members like Nakeeran Gopal were brought in and given important positions in the Journalists Welfare Board, would the press sector improve?
Furthermore, officials from the news department, who do not know the difference between news and propaganda, are coming from the news department. The same situation is that 90 percent of the news on the press and television is propaganda; they will keep hyping up one thing.
That is, without stating that this is the truth about someone or a specific matter, they will propagate it. A lawyer who has studied law and is knowledgeable about the subject informed me of this.
From this, which are the newspapers that can provide news for the people? The Director of the News Department, Arun Thamburaj, must categorize them. Even today, the officials of the News Department do not know how to do this.
Furthermore, these hidden truths, what are the journals for social change in the field of journalism suitable for the times? Rulers and ministers do not know how to research this. However,
The news for change has been consistently emphasized for many years on the People’s Power website and in its journals.
There is no doubt that the Director of News Arun Thamburaj and Additional Secretary Vijayakumar studying and standardizing this will be a very important contribution to the current circulation law in the press industry.
If one asks about this circulation law in RTI, the information department officials reply that a private company has no right to interfere in whether the number of printed copies is true or the sales figures are true.
If so, are fake accounts shown in this? Are these fake accounts favorable for giving concessions and advertisements to corporate magazines? Will the court also accept this as correct? With so many questions, these circulation loopholes exist, and the commission plays a major role in this. This is why social welfare magazines cannot come up.
Is the news department, which prioritizes propaganda over news, colluding with their commission? Why don’t the central and state government officials understand the circulation law amidst so many loopholes?
Furthermore, BJP ministers speak as if they know everything. Why don’t they understand that this change is a necessity of the times? Doesn’t the current Union Minister for Information and Broadcasting, Ashwini Vaishnav, know this? Furthermore, doesn’t L. Murugan, the Union Minister of State for Information and Broadcasting from Tamil Nadu, know this?
Furthermore, do they even know the loopholes in the laws of this department? Besides, are these news items even visible to them! Is the Union Government’s Ministry of Information and Broadcasting taking these matters forward?
Despite revealing the truth about this for many years during the previous DMK regime, it is a known fact that nothing will happen. Now, during the rule of Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam! This request is made with the hope that concessions and advertisements will be given to genuine, deserving media.
So, when will the central and state governments’ information departments understand that changes in the press sector and amendments to laws are necessary with the times? Makkal adhikaram! For the people, with the people, always…!
