Journalism in the country! It is a sign of selfishness to be the stooges of the rulers and not for the good of the people of the society. Is it the law to circulate advertisements and advertisements only for corporate newspaper channels that are so selfish? Is it a black law that cheats the freedom of the press?
Moreover, today’s corporate press houses are mostly made up of black money or looted in politics. Otherwise, they are companies that have come out of bars and sand robberies. How many people in the country are there who have worked independently and honestly shown their income to the government?
This is what I am asking? Take the income from the property earned by their father? How do they earn money? The press was put on television? Can the social welfare press compete with them? We cannot invest that much money in this society which can only give labor through these newspapers or websites run by the common people.
So, which newspapers are eligible for the government? There is no doubt that if we make a list and give it this privilege and advertisement, it will be important for the benefit of the community. I am not saying this with a selfish motive, I am saying this for the common good. Also, the Press Council of India should have the responsibility to rectify all this.
But it seems that only those who have retired from the corporate company will be sitting there. So, they don’t even know the meaning of these magazines. This is people’s money! Corporate magazines and television are the policy decisions of the rulers. That was a big mistake. Moreover, all the ineligible newspapers are being given promotions and those newspapers are sending their pdf in WhatsApp groups. There is a government advertisement that it is also a newspaper and I will publish it here. But the owner of the paper had worked with us as a reporter. I’ll avoid it.
How many people read it online? If you look at its website, you will know. In this way, the media is wasting the tax money of the people as a policy decision. The central government is clearly saying the authorities there. Here, everything is according to that law and nothing is outside it.
But in Tamil Nadu, the daily newspapers are cheating with fake audits, fake circulations, fake sales, accounts. The press department must answer for all this. Also, the press officials have been telling us for the last four to five years that if we ask for press pass, you should buy RNI in Chennai.
But last year, it was reported that the government had issued an identity card to Rockport, a monthly magazine published from Trichy. If so, a policy decision is a policy decision for those who want to be in the field of journalism! A policy decision for those who don’t! Is this the policy decision of journalism? Or the pinnacle of power?
Also, today there is no intention of the people who buy and read newspapers. This is the transformation of journalism today. Accordingly, the central government has not yet changed this law and is keeping it in favor of the corporate press and television. Many newspapers are fighting this plight in the news industry.
An important role in this is the role of the makkal adhikaram Magazine and the Internet. Therefore, against this policy decision, the people should be in favor of the good and welfare of the press and the freedom of the press. Moreover, the judiciary should give impartial justice so that the policy decision of the rulers is wrong. Whether it is right is in the hands of the court. This news has been brought to the notice of the news department that we will soon move the court on behalf of the Social Welfare Journalists Association.
