Expressing concern over fake news being spread by the mainstream media misleading people in the country, Minister for Forest, Ecology and Environment and Bidar district in-charge Eshwar Khandre has advised media personnel to be objective in their reporting.
“A kind of anarchy and chaos is being created by media by spreading false information and distorting history. It will definitely lead to communal conflict and disturbance in society. I appeal to the media to work in such a way that it always reflects objectivity,” Mr. Khandre said, after inaugurating the Press Day celebrations in Bidar on Sunday.
The event was organised jointly by the Karnataka Union of Working Journalists, the Department of Information and Public Relations and the Association of Accredited District and Regional Editors Association.
