Minister for Law and Parliamentary Affairs and Gadag district in-charge H.K. Patil has said that it is a matter of concern that developments in society that have the potential to bring about changes in the State and national level are not getting wider coverage.
Inaugurating a Media Day award and felicitation programme organised by the Gadag District Union of Working Journalists in Gadag recently, Mr. Patil stressed the need for training and guiding young journalists entering the field by organising seminars, conferences on media and freedom and freedom of expression and other issues. Journalists carried a great responsibility in identifying and publishing true stories and discarding fake ones, he added.
