Prof. Shukla said that today’s technology is rapidly developing, and we will soon be able to watch live events around the world from the comfort of our homes. The speed of information, however, makes it hard to discern what is truth. A situation like this increases the responsibility of print media even further. Thus, despite watching the channel 24 hours a day, the wait for the morning newspaper continues to verify the news. It is this credibility of newspapers that makes journalism so powerful.
Rahul Pande, the Information Commissioner, stated that improving the working conditions for journalists will improve journalism.
“We should take advantage of the universities present here for skill upgradation as we move forward with technology. The PhD-awarded journalists who have been felicitated need to also work on how their research can benefit society,” Pande said.
