The news industry is functioning as an unregulated sector without any rules.
That is, is the news industry for the people? Or for the rulers? The news industry is functioning without even knowing who it should be important to.
Newspapers that enjoy concessions and advertisements from the people's tax money are not for the people but for the selfish interests of the rulers and their party selfishness, putting the government's message first, and all this internal work through the circulation laws of the newspaper, the news industry is supporting its development by not giving concessions and advertisements to deserving newspapers and giving them only to the newspapers they want as a policy decision.
Furthermore, the law that does not separate the newspaper based on the veracity, quality, and merit of the news of the newspaper, but only the daily newspaper is important, is against the press industry. What facts should reach the people? What if it is daily? What if it is weekly? What if it is monthly? The quality of the newspaper should be divided based on that. But can the press explain what kind of news these newspapers are giving to the people every day by saying that it is a daily newspaper? Is the purpose of the press to advertise political parties to the people? Or is that the purpose of the press? Not only that,
It was the biggest mistake of the press to decide that corporate newspapers and televisions are newspapers. The press took only daily newspapers into account as newspapers by defining the privileges to be given, the circulation of advertisements, and it is against the freedom of the press. Moreover,
Was this calculation correct 50 years ago? Then there were four newspapers. Now there are millions of newspapers. There was no competition then. Now the press industry! The world is competitive. Unqualified newspapers also compete for it, and similarly, unqualified journalists compete. This is the competition of the press industry today.
Moreover, people trusted the print media then. Now they rely on the Internet, cell phones, and social media. That is why the Makkal adhikaram is constantly insisting that the media department of the central and state governments should bring the visitors of the newspaper's website into circulation. Besides, at that time there was only print media. People did not read anything else except that. It is applicable to that time.
Now people are not interested in buying and reading newspapers. Moreover, where are newspapers being sold? Only the wall posters of newspapers are hanging. Not only that, they are giving discounts, advertisements, bus passes, etc. to newspapers that do not have wall posters. This news department is giving discounts and advertisements saying that it is publishing once a week, once a month, and that too with an account, and that too with a daily newspaper. It is a shame for the newspaper department to act as an incompetent department in the newspaper sector. This is a department that can spend about 100 crores to 500 crores per year. Moreover, if you look at it, the benefits to the people? Zero. Who benefits from this? Corporate newspapers, television stations, and rulers benefit the most.
Moreover, in this field, the district news and public relations department officials are unabashed party members. They will become party members of whichever government comes in power. Only then can they make a living in this field. What do party members know about journalism? So what is journalism? What is its purpose? Can these news department officials answer all this? Moreover,
They don't have much work in this field. In this field, ten people are working. What work are they doing? So what is the benefit to the people? I don't understand anything. How many people are doing the work that two people can do? Isn't the public's tax money wasted in all this? Moreover,
It is unfair to say that this news department is giving concessions and advertisements to those newspapers based only on the Circulation Act. It is meaningless. When it comes to the truth, many lies are thrown as criticisms, but they don't care about it. No matter how many years, the truth is the truth! It is a lie. That is why,
Makkal adhikaram has been telling the press department for many years that these laws should be changed according to the times. I don't know if it will be understood now. Because
For my selfish interest! That is, for the political power, whoever runs a newspaper, only they have the privilege and advertisements of the political power, then there is no freedom of the press there. Everything has been destroyed.
Next to this, by giving these privileges and advertisements, by giving government identity cards, they think that this is an accredited newspaper and journalists. On what basis have you recognized it? On what basis are you giving privileges and advertisements to this, the press department cannot answer the question.
Furthermore,
Because the people's tax money is given to certain newspapers, they print ten thousand copies. They don't know whether those ten thousand copies are sold or not. Their account is to print ten thousand. Which printing house printed those 10,000 copies and where was the paper purchased? That's all their audit. Besides, they print 10,000 copies daily, weekly, monthly, and have the auditor sign them. How much did they sell, how much did they return? Is that also a circulation account?
How many agents do they have? How many newspapers did they sell per day? How much money do they put in their bank accounts? Has the news department investigated this? Also,
.If the newspaper is sold, the news will reach the people. If it is returned, it is just waste paper. If the people who buy waste paper ask about this account, how many newspapers do they buy as returns per day? They will tell you precisely. Moreover,
A preacher I know says that the Hindu, Dinamani, Dinathanthi, Dinamalar, all these daily newspapers are getting a lot of papers returned today. He is a newspaper returner.
Furthermore, let the press department investigate whether this is true or false. Then, on what basis of the Circulation Act are they giving concessions and advertisements to all these newspapers in the department? Not only that,
Only if the journalists have a government identity card, they can join the Journalists Welfare Board as members. If so, does the government identity card determine the qualification of a journalist? Or does one's writing ability, talent, and qualification determine it? Which determines it? Can the press department tell the world? Furthermore,
This Welfare Board is only for journalists who work for Stalin's own media, the newspapers he wants, and televisions. They are the main administrators in it. How will they include qualified journalists in the Welfare Board? It is like people are now running around in buses and trains, grabbing their seats and sitting down as if they are their own. Moreover,
That is, DMK media and its affiliated media outlets are more than 15 in Tamil Nadu. Only for that, they are given this government identity card and included as members in the Welfare Board. Moreover,
Even for journalists who are qualified to write the truth for newspapers in the country, who can call themselves journalists, the press department does not include these journalists as members of the Welfare Board. This is a huge disgrace for the press department. Moreover, political parties do not require any qualifications to become members or to give them responsibilities.
But, only if one has qualifications, skills, and writing skills, can one become a reporter or a journalist. If so, on what basis do they decide all this in the news industry? Does everyone have a political background? Will it become a party? If so, is this the news industry? Or is it the political party industry? Or is it the news industry? Will the court decide which one?
Also, the news industry! On what basis do you decide that they are journalists? Not everyone who gives news can become a journalist. They can only be journalists.
If a journalist! Should have the qualification to expose the miseries of a field. They are the ones who are qualified to call themselves journalists. Government identity cards and newspaper identity cards cannot determine a journalist, that is, a journalist.
Also, journalists are holding identity cards and saying that they are also journalists. The worst news is that they call themselves journalists without knowing how to write. Those who copy someone else's news, insert it and waste time are all called journalists. Leaving aside the plight of journalists,
What's worse is that those who buy this identity card for 3000, 5000, 10 thousand in small newspapers and claim to be journalists are even worse. Moreover,
There are people who start groups on WhatsApp and claim to be journalists. Does the news industry even know how low this has fallen? Furthermore,
The press, which is said to be the fourth pillar of the country, can reveal the truth for the security of the country, the security of the people, the welfare of the people, the government, and political administration. How despicable has this news industry become? Let qualified journalists examine this and see if it is true or false.
Furthermore, the main reason for all this trouble is political interference. Who is affected by this? If so! Qualified social welfare newspapers, qualified journalists, are the ones who are responsible. The judicial judges who see this news! They can even take this as a sumota case and investigate it. There is no alternative opinion that this will be an important case for the national interest and the welfare of the people.
