New Delhi: For ages, Journalism has been one of the noble professions, run by highly educated individuals and consumed by the literate population. The model remains the same all across the globe. It is also de-facto the fourth pillar of democracy, because of its inherent obligation and responsibility towards society.
In a country as diverse as India, the role of journalism becomes all the more important as it doesn’t just enlightens citizens with news & views but also inculcates a sense of national unity and integrity by bridging the hugely diverse population.
However, Independent and Quality journalism is not possible unless there are good people backing it. Since, the profession is mostly financed by advertisement business, good people remain the backbone of it. If there is any dip in readers and journalism gets more business-centric, the media industry is set to take a backseat and get sacrificed at the altar of TRPs in TV and clicks in news websites.
In India, since Independence many veteran journalists have served the nation with their blood and sweat. They toiled for long hours, went through the daily rigours of the demanding profession and lived a life of principles for sustaining an Independent and robust journalism.
However, in recent years, journalism has been beset with many challenges and crisis. With air-conditioned editors replacing hardcore journalists, corporate owners dictating editorial line, questions are being raised over integrity and probity of the profession.
Lately, ‘politically motivated narrative’ and ‘propaganda based news agenda’ seems to have set in the news business. Left parties politicising farmers protest, Congress doubting the Central govt & our own security forces over Chinese security threat and National Conference seeking Chinese intervention for J&K solution are some examples of ‘anti-national’ politics. But, more damaging has been the set of scribes who find a reason in their treacherous and unpatriotic agenda.
Covid-19 pandemic has also dealt a severe blow to the business as it resulted in many layoffs and pay-cuts.
