Investigative journalism is dead, and independent journalism has lost its sheen, with the majority of media houses aligning with political parties or ideologies, said retired Supreme Court Judge V. Gopala Gowda, delivering the memorial lecture of Communist leader Moturu Hanumantharao, here on Tuesday.
The Moturu Hanumantharao Best Journalist Award was given to Navabhoomi journalist Tummalapalli Prasad from Hyderabad.
Delivering the lecture on ‘Challenges to the Constitution - Role of Media’, he said that the media houses are not publishing news that seeks corrective measures to problems faced by the general public.,
