The journalism industry is undergoing many changes today due to the compulsions of time.
Since that change is necessary and essential for the people, change has come in all fields.
In particular, the journalism industry has now become digital-centric. Even though the industry itself has changed, the biggest sorrow in the journalism industry is that the laws and regulations within the journalism industry remain unchanged.
Furthermore, the fact that the news department officials are working without understanding this is causing qualified newspapers and social welfare newspapers to express their sorrow continuously. Even then, they do not understand.
Furthermore, what is the policy decision of the government to give concessions and advertisements to newspapers? The policy decision is to give to newspapers they want, and this has been the case for the last 50 years. There is no circulation in any newspaper. In that case, how can concessions and advertisements be determined based on circulation?
Furthermore, without knowing what “circulation” means, the central government still holds onto that law. Ashwini Vaishnav, the Union Minister for Information and Broadcasting, who can speak as a highly educated expert, has not spoken anything about these changes so far. No action has been taken.
Ministers will only know about this if central government officials tell them. Officials know nothing. Furthermore, the biggest mistake the Modi government has made is to have the same law for corporate media houses that conduct journalism and social welfare-oriented journalism, which is the greatest sorrow.
This is why the central government is losing its influence with the people. They see only the growth of corporations as their goal. That is the Modi government’s biggest weakness. This is where Modi makes a mistake. While in other matters, service to the country and many other things are beyond reproach, the mistake they are making is a very big one, this is it.
Even though higher officials are unaware of this truth, the people’s power has been reporting these truths for ten years. What is the Tamil Nadu Information and Broadcasting Minister L. Murugan doing?
Shouldn’t officials tell the truth to the ministers? This is the pathetic situation in the press and in the central and state governments! Furthermore,
It is to eradicate this dire situation that the Makkal Adhikaram has been fighting continuously for 10 years. In the previous DMK regime, they knew neither the law nor how to respect the feelings of the people. Somehow, the rowdy elements also got lucky. The people experienced the consequences.
They were focused only on looting, so how would they understand this if it were explained? Moreover, they don’t know about journalism or news reporting.
During the previous DMK regime, the Chief Secretary working in the Information Department stated that they would provide concessions, advertisements, and press passes only if the newspapers obtained registration from RNI in Chennai. After I brought the Government Order from the Central Government and submitted it, they backed down. This is also a testament to how much they were deceiving the press. Furthermore,
No matter how much corruption we do, keep praising us. We give you concessions and advertisements. Such newspapers have grown during both the DMK and AIADMK regimes.
Not a single newspaper has told the truth to the people and brought about changes. Especially when the publishers of newspapers for the people, without even thinking about what a newspaper for the people is, were the news department, officials, and ministers, and when I think of that immense tyrannical rule, there was no connection between what they said and what they did.
I often wonder if we should listen to all this and run a newspaper, talking to complete idiots.
Furthermore, currently, the Chief Minister of Tamilaga Vetri Kazhagam, Vijay, is in power! Officials are discussing these changes. What kind of changes will this bring? This is the biggest question for future generations, for those who run the press for the people, for those who convey true news to the public, and regarding what changes the government is going to bring.
Furthermore, this is a government for the people! With confidence, with the people! For the people, always MAKKAL ADHIKARAM …!
