The Vice President, Shri M. Venkaiah Naidu today said that media \u2018should not mix news with views\u2019 and maintain objectivity in bringing facts to the people. He observed that people take the content of the news and broadcast media to be credible and media organisations should live up to their expectations. \u2018Journalism should be treated as a mission\u2019, he said.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Releasing a collection of editorials titled \u2018Mutnuri Krishna Rao Sampadakeeyalu\u2019 in Hyderabad today, Shri Naidu highlighted the critical role of media as the \u2018fourth pillar of democracy\u2019 in protecting and preserving democracy. He said the media is the vital channel of communication that can take the issues of the people to the government and the schemes and policies of the government to the people.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Shri Naidu stressed that the media has the right and responsibility to question and criticise the government and suggest alternative solutions. At the same time, he observed, media organisations should not rake up trivial issues and spread panic among the people.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Observing the tremendous impact the media has on people, the Vice President said journalists should weigh the consequences of each word they print and broadcast on society. \u2018They must remember that they are a part of society too\u2019, he added.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Shri Naidu lauded journalists for their resilience and courage during the pandemic and said they have shown great grit and resolve in bringing out reports from the ground.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

On this occasion, Shri Naidu paid rich tributes to Shri Mutnuri Krishna Rao, the pioneering Telugu journalist and editor of the nationalist newspaper \u2018Krishna Patrika\u2019 from 1907 to 1945. He noted the lasting impact of both Shri Krishna Rao\u2019s work and Krishna Patrika in inculcating patriotism in the Telugu youth and in setting high standards in journalism during that time.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Referring to the role of newspapers in the freedom movement, Shri Naidu said they played a vital role in taking the spirit of the freedom struggle to the grassroots and keeping people abreast of the changes happening around the country.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The Vice President appreciated Sri Marumamula Dattatreya Sharma for bringing out the book and hoped that it would make the present generation aware of the high standards of journalistic values set by Shri Krishna Rao.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
