The newspapers that fight for the people in the country! Social welfare newspapers are the ones. Corporate companies, corporate business companies, and medium-sized companies and business companies that should give importance to them are the ones who are going to serve this society in your income tax assessment.
In this, business newspaper companies bring 25% of the truth to the people of the country and 75% of the lies. Politicians will stop talking bluntly. In that, what is true for the people? What is false? I don’t know. Who do these newspapers support every day? So, these newspapers and televisions exist for the selfish interests of the rulers, for their business selfish interests.
It took me 30 years to know this truth. I don’t know whether five percent of the ordinary people, who could be journalists in this newspaper, know these facts. Moreover, newspapers that fight against corruption in the country, for the problems of the people of the country, and for social welfare newspapers. And that too, is a small number of newspapers, coming from Tamil Nadu.
The fact that the central and state governments are not giving importance to this and supporting its development is against this society. Because the central and state governments have restricted the tax money of the people to only specific newspapers and television stations. This is wrong. It is against the freedom of the press.
A few people are fighting in this field of journalism and are running newspapers for this social welfare. They can be counted on the fingers of one hand. The rest are hiding behind these political parties and running newspapers. Today’s political parties do not even know what journalism is for. Is it for their own selfish interests? Or is it for the public good? The media department of the central and state governments, which should decide this, has been struggling to answer the question of Makkal adhikaram till today.
My intention is that those who ask this should not be alone in Tamil Nadu. I will be very happy if at least ten people copy this news and take a photo. So many news are copied and pasted from this. Even if a few people do, don’t copy this and leave it as it is. Because, like I copied you, when a few people read it, there will be confusion. So change it.
Also, yesterday, I discussed this with high-ranking officials of the central government. They could not give a proper explanation for it. They are all pointing fingers at the high-ranking officials of Delhi. But, the deputy director has done some good things. That is, he translated the question I sent to RTI from here in Tamil into English and sent it to Delhi.
Also, after the people who are fighting for this get this power, I cannot even guess how many people will compete to buy it. Seeing the director, giving him a shawl, seeing the information minister, giving him a shawl, wrapping him in a shawl like this, posting that photo on WhatsApp as representatives of the association, and begging for a government ID card, these newspapers cannot buy concessions and advertisements.
That is the qualification of journalists that should be given based on merit, based on ability. I talked about that to someone in the press department yesterday. The identity of my newspaper and my qualification should be the government identity card of a journalist. But, the press department is giving government identity cards to all the journalists who can be a stalwart for the party, for the party, for the government.
Are all the journalists here who do not wear the DMK kara vesti journalists? Or are those who can fight against this social welfare and corruption journalists? Or are they journalists? Who are journalists? On one side are the fakes, on the other side are the unqualified group, on the other side are the group that is talking about RNI as a newspaper, on the other side are the information that 15000 associations have been registered and they are also roaming around claiming to be newspapers, what are the defined qualifications for all this?
As was said in the central government yesterday, when we talked about corporate newspaper companies, they said that it is the business of the newspaper. I heard the same word. Why is the press department of the central and state governments giving importance to commercial newspapers?
Not giving it to newspapers that can fight against social welfare and corruption? In Tamil Nadu, do the one or two PROs who work in the news industry know these facts? Do they not know? I do not know. Legal battles will continue soon for this.
