.Community-based small newspapers and independent online media outlets focused on social welfare in Tamil Nadu have been a problem that has been ignored for 50 years.
. Furthermore, there is very little unity among these newspapers to address this problem. There are very few newspapers that are capable of this.
Apart from this, the competition is different, if it’s a small newspaper, everything is the same, that’s their calculation, and the differences within that calculation, they don’t understand the meaning.
, Also, here, you are a reporter, I am a reporter, if you have an ID card, everyone is a reporter. Like, if you buy an RNI for a newspaper, everything is a newspaper. Even if it is printed, it is a newspaper, even if it is on WhatsApp, it is a newspaper,
Makkal Adhikaram newspaper has been fighting for 10 years to put an end to this problem in the media.Also, reporters and editors who work in corporate newspapers, how will they recommend to the welfare board for social welfare newspapers to improve? They are the ones who will see to their development.
Besides, if these newspapers grow, they will think that they are our competition. Is this a fair and honest choice for the news industry? Is this?
Is this how Minister Rajmohan appointed the responsibilities of administrators in the Welfare Board of the Press Department? Moreover, I myself applied for it. As a qualified newspaper, I should have been selected as the representative of social welfare newspapers. Furthermore, is there even a single representative for such newspapers there?
When asked, an official said. He said the name was Theekkadir. A party can be on the Press Welfare Board, but shouldn’t there be a social welfare newspaper?Also, here, is journalism determined by money? Or is it determined by the millionaire newspapers? Who is the millionaire newspaper’s money? That is circulation. This is the mentality within these small newspapers that don’t know this.
This problem persists because the news industry still has officials who do not understand the meaning of news. Not only that, but the reason this problem has been going on for 50 years is because the media industry, without knowing the meaning of the news, has decided that circulation is news, and that is the policy decision, and the political power has been ruining this industry for 50 years.
. Furthermore, some worthy newspapers, newspapers that were published about 10 years ago, newspapers that could openly point out mistakes in many districts, newspapers that brought the truth to the people, and so many newspapers that gathered information, have disappeared.
They told me right then that we couldn’t continue running the newspaper, sir. The government didn’t support this either.
, Moreover, this is an example of how such social welfare newspapers are suppressed by the government and those in power. Furthermore,Despite their qualifications, many people have left the newspaper because they were unable to continue due to lack of money. Understanding the root cause of this, the makkal adhikaram newspaper has been continuously raising its voice and fighting against this.
,Furthermore, I understand that during the rule of the Tamil Nadu Victory Party, which claims to be a government for the people, and in this government as well, the Minister of Information Raj Mohan has given importance to this same corporate. A complaint has been brought to the attention of Chief Minister Vijay regarding this on behalf of the Makkal Adhikaram newspaper. Furthermore,
.At least next year, for worthy newspapers! Will they bring about changes in the journalism sector and the news sector in line with the times? Because it doesn’t matter if there is politics involved.
How can we accept that journalism exists within politics? That is why these social welfare newspapers are fighting to prevent them from getting concessions and advertisements. Moreover,.It is because of such corporate newspapers that corruption and corrupt people are encouraged in the country. What is true and what is false in what they say should be considered and given to the people as news.
But no matter how much they lie, they don’t need the press or television to tell the people the truth. What kind of broker work is this?
Moreover, people’s tax money alone is needed in crores. But newspapers and televisions should not function as people’s newspapers. Besides, is it a priority for political party-affiliated newspapers and business newspapers?.Moreover, even now, DMK is justifying corruption. If so, such media outlets are putting it that way. Is this true? Is it false? It is the duty of the fourth pillar to choose and give.
Moreover, news department officials who do not know this, divide it into one concession for the daily newspaper, one concession for the weekly newspaper, and one concession for the monthly newspaper, and the news department does not know the meaning of the news! Is it a newspaper that prints all the lies that political parties tell the people every day?
The main reason for this is that the news department does not understand the meaning of advertising and news, and such mistakes continue. Moreover, in the Welfare Board, these people are the ones who decide which newspaper can be given to which newspaper? Which newspaper should not be given to? If they were to sit in charge of the Welfare Board, would they be the ones to make the decision?
That is, they will take into account crores of rupees for all the concessions and advertisements for the newspapers that the corporate needs. They should give bus passes only for that. They should give advertisements only for that. If there is even one representative for these newspapers, they will talk about it.,Also, who are the representatives of these newspapers? Not a single person in the news industry has thought about that. Besides, a newspaper is a newspaper, no matter what you say. But there is a certain percentage of people who understand its quality. Also,
Reporters in the journalism industry, small newspapers like this, compete like political parties. That competition is not valid here. In a political party, the one who is the most powerful, the one who brings in the most people, that is important for the political party. There, he would say that whatever he says is the law. That does not happen here.
. Moreover, this is a competition based on knowledge! Only those who use knowledge can win here. But, knowledge is constantly being defeated and politics and power win.
To put an end to this, there is no other way, on behalf of the people’s power, except through the judiciary. Therefore, a complaint has been filed with the National Human Rights Commission asking the press department of the central and state governments to submit an investigation report on this matter.
, Moreover, changes are necessary in the news industry according to the times. Our demand is that the news industry should be brought towards change. Besides,
.I conclude this special article by emphasizing that your verdict is essential for the future development of the journalism sector, the welfare of the people of the country, the welfare of the nation, and the welfare of society, putting an end to the political power vested in the National Human Rights Commission – Editor .
