Since the laws in the news industry have not changed with the times! Will Makkal Adhikaram Newspaper and Tamil Nadu Social Welfare Journalists Association provide a correct answer to the RTI question? – Makkal adhikaram media.
Many laws in the country have been changed over time, but no laws have been changed in the field of journalism since independence.
When asked, the news department officials give the same answer: “It’s a protocol.” How did this protocol come about? Who created it? They don’t know anything. What kind of change will they bring to the journalism sector with this feature?
I can’t forget Bhaskara Pandian, who was an IAS officer. Because he had the drive to do something for these newspapers. He felt that there was justice in what you were saying.
But it doesn’t seem like Jayaseelan, who was the director of the department during the DMK regime till today, and Vaidyanathan after that, are listening to anything about it. But, if they have given the right answers to all these questions, I am ready to quit this journalism department.
And how many political parties are there in Tamil Nadu? They give voice to everything that is unnecessary. They participate in the debate platform for everything that is unnecessary. But, the biggest regret of social welfare journalists is that no political party has spoken about the plight of an important sector on social media, except for Tamila ,Tamila Pandian. Also, the director of news department, Vaidyanathan
If he understands all these questions correctly and gives the right answer to them, then the future (generation), i.e., these social welfare newspapers, should be given recognition. Which newspaper can be given recognition? What is its merit, quality? Without knowing anything, Circulation! Circulation! What is your circulation? only money for the circulation. But content, news & articles, social benefits, is very important in journalism.
Therefore, it is very necessary to bring about changes in the press sector (Central and state).
Also. If many newspapers like me join me in this struggle, it is time for us to express strong opposition to this to the government. The election is approaching. Not only that,
BJP state president Nayanar Nagendran has sent this news to the Union Ministry of Information and Communications, attaching a letter from the Makkal Adhikaram newspaper. Furthermore,
The Makkal adhikaram Journal is taking many steps to ensure that the government’s benefits reach social welfare journals. A legal notice has also been sent to it. There has been no response to it. Now this RTI information has been sent to the director. The big question is whether he can give a proper answer to this?
Moreover, since there is a lot of political interference in the news industry, there is no other option but to approach the court. Even journalists who run newspapers with the same views as me may come forward. Because of this struggle,
Whether we realize it or not, this should be a guide for many future generations who will come to fight for the welfare of the people in this field of journalism. There is no alternative to that.
Therefore, politics has become selfish. The corporate press is acting as their mouthpiece and selfishly. That is why the privileges and advertisements available to these newspapers are being blocked. Furthermore,
If business interests and political party-affiliated newspapers are given more importance in the journalism sector than social interests, then why is it not given to newspapers that can fight corruption and newspapers that serve the public interest? The main essence of our demand is this. What response will News Director Vaidyanathan give to this? Let’s wait and see.
Where is the DMK government going to do for the people what it cannot do for social welfare newspapers?
