Among the many problems in the country, the most important is the problem of the journalism sector.This is a sector that is like an ocean! Who can pick pearls in this ocean? This is the biggest challenge, it is a competitive sector. In this, there is competition among corporate newspapers, competition among social welfare newspapers, and winning this competition is the politics within it! The political dominance of the ruling party, the central and state government in the news sector! The incentives, advertisements and recognition given,
.Moreover, even though it is paid with the people’s tax money, the news industry has been saying that it belongs only to the corporates. Because they get indirect (commission) profit through them. That is the biggest corruption in the news industry till date. That is why the news industry is loyal to those who give it income. Newspapers that cannot pay commissions continue to struggle.
.Moreover, even worthy newspapers have their ends in failure and success. To that extent, indirect corruption through agents dominates the news industry. If we want to eradicate that corruption, first of all, these concessions and advertisements through agents must be stopped.
Moreover, these agents are the commission agents who give to the officials and rulers. They are the biggest enemy of these newspapers. Because these newspapers cannot give that commission.
Moreover, social welfare newspapers are run for a few people. Corporates, in the guise of a daily newspaper! They run newspapers for political parties, rulers, and businesses, and cheat the press industry through circulation, buying concessions and advertisements.
This is the biggest secret scandal in the news industry in 50 years! Not a single newspaper will publish news about this scandal. Because the people who run small newspapers do not have enough knowledge about it.
They don’t have the right to take it out in public and tell people about it. That is the biggest failure of the struggle. But if you give them discount advertisements, these are the first people to come and stand.Moreover, the makkal adhikaram has been fighting against the corruption of this corporate media political dominance for ten years. No matter how many regimes have changed here, the laws for this continue to remain unchanged.
.Furthermore, it is necessary to bring changes in the journalism sector in line with the times. Makkal adhikaram has been continuously emphasizing that, in line with today’s times, online newspapers should be given importance.
.However, even under the Tamil Nadu Victory Party rule, Minister Raj Mohan is only able to exert corporate media political dominance. He cannot bring about changes in this sector.
.I decided that the moment he appointed only those who could work in corporate newspapers as responsibilities in the welfare board, the press department would be like the old almanac. Moreover, it is doubtful whether he even accepts the views of many officials on this.
.Because this is a secret corruption department! There are many such departments. Among them, the press department is the most important. In this, these small newspapers are not even qualified to ask questions against the corporate politics that claim to own the people’s tax money.
.However, the main demand of social welfare newspapers is that deserving newspapers should get government concessions and advertisements. Moreover, many media PRs even act as agents of corporate newspapers and television.
They do not give importance to news, but to circulation. If circulation is the only thing that matters in journalism, then that journalism gets involved in politics. In other words, freedom of the press is freedom of circulation in the news industry. This is a truth that only qualified journalists know.
Apart from this, the corruption of the news industry! Every newspaper, starting from the daily, has to print ten thousand copies. Is the account that the respective newspaper shows about how much it sells true? That is the account given by the auditors. Nowadays, the intention of buying and reading newspapers has decreased among the people. Then how does the news industry decide on these offers and advertisements based on the Circulation Act?
.All this is ruining the journalism industry, the news industry! The result of this is that corruption has grown in the country! Long live the majority of corporate media, indirectly fostering corruption in the country, wasting the tax money of thousands of crores of people, and the news industry of the central and state governments is a record.
.Moreover, in the field of journalism! The rights that should be given to newspapers, regardless of whether they are small or big, are being denied equal opportunities, and this 50 years of political history, the record of the press department of the central and state governments. That is, their law is that people’s tax money should not be given to newspapers of the common people.
Furthermore, the corporate politics within this and the policy decisions of the central and state governments, and the politics of the executives of corporate newspapers in the Welfare Board!
Besides, government advertisements! Why should they be given through agents? So, what is the benefit to the government? This is a secret corruption, and all the indirect ways that have been created in this must be put to an end.
Moreover, these innocent people have been unable to give proper answers to the questions asked by the makkal adhikaram newspaper to the Central and State Government’s Information Department (RTI) on this issue many times. They are unable to answer. This was the answer. Is this a military secret?
.Moreover, the importance of this news is how political dominance continues within the journalism sector. Not only that, but the same situation has been there from the time of the ruling Congress regime in the middle to the current ruling BJP regime, with the political dominance of corporates entering the journalism sector and indirectly staging huge opposition to these small newspapers.
Moreover, everyone who does not know about this is talking about journalism today. Not only that, but in a field that can bring light to the people! How much darkness is hidden? The truth of an ordinary newspaper and journalist is not only in the eyes of the people, but also in the eyes of the National Human Rights Commission, these facts.
Furthermore, if the National Human Rights Commission properly registers a case, requests a proper investigation report, and investigates the press departments of the central and state governments, the facts will come out. Justice will be achieved in the field of journalism.
Furthermore, copies of this have been sent to the National Human Rights Commission on behalf of the People’s Power newspaper. In addition, petitions sent to Chief Ministers, high-ranking officials and the Prime Minister have been sent along with this.
.Furthermore, this is a request from the National Human Rights Commissioner Justice Ramasubramanian to weed out and put an end to the historical selfish politics and corruption within the journalism sector, on behalf of social welfare newspapers – Editor.
