Minister for Public Works and district-in-charge for Belagavi Satish Jarkiholi has called on the journalists to uphold the dignity of the profession through their impartial reports that throw light on the maladies and problems in the society.
He was speaking at the felicitation programme of Chief Minister’s media advisor K.V. Prabhakar organised by Belagavi District Union of Working Journalists in Belagavi on Saturday.
Mr. Jarkiholi said that with the advent of electronic and digital media, the form of news itself had changed drastically leading to reports that gave an altogether different meaning to the whole issue. “It is required that the original news or statements are reported as they are,” he said.
