Media staff deserve support from management, society: Ghatowar PTI | 06:01 PM,Jan 18,2012 Tinsukia (Assam), Jan 18 (PTI) Appreciating the role of media in the development of the country, Union DONER minister Paban Singh Ghatowar has said media employees deserved support in view of the limitation of resources faced by the working journalists in Assam. "The journalists and other media employees deserve necessary support and care from the management of their newspapers or TV news channels in particular and the society in general", Ghatowar said after inaugurating the upper Assam office of newly launched news TV channel from Guwahati `News Network'. "We should extend our support to the media persons so that they can reciprocate it for the growth of our nation" said Ghatowar, also a former union labour minister and an MP from Assam, at the programme yesterday. He urged the media persons to dedicate their time and space for the benefit of common people and also for the conservation of nature. The minister was, however, critical of a section of the media for their alleged exaggeration of news with imposed views and also the unwanted role of journalists as fortune-tellers in the times of elections. News Network chairman-cum-managing director Rana Zaman said his TV channel was committed to "maintaining the credibility and authenticity of news and other programmes telecast through our channel".
