Journalism is considered as one of the pillars of a democracy, Minister for Medical Education and district in-charge Sharan Prakash Patil has said.
He was addressing a gathering after inaugurating a Press Day function jointly organised by the Karnataka Union of Working Journalists and Raichur Reporters Guild at Veerashaiva Kalyana Mantapa in Raichur on Sunday.
Dr. Patil said that reporters are always forced to work under stressful conditions. “Journalists should follow proper sources who provide accurate news. Your news and articles have ample power to change the government if it is not working for the welfare of the people,” he added.
