I was reading a general article on journalism and I found the following
comment on Gandhi:
"The whole aim of journalism should be service. The true function of
journalism is to educate the public mind and read the mind of the country
and to give definite and fearless expression to that mind..Public has the
right to know the truth. It must be informed objectively as to what is
happening. If the paper loses confidence of its readers, it has lost all
that is worth in journalism. Definitely the Press has power, but to misuse
it is crime." (Reference: Journalist Gandhi, compiled by Sunil Sharma and
published by Gandhi Book Centre, Bombay Sarvodaya Mandal).
I am posting this in context of our earlier discussion on journalism on this
list, particularly in context of the article by Ben Antao narrating his
early experience at Navhind Times.
