RAIPUR: Vice President M Venkaiah Naidu today said the media should not combine news and views, adding that it should follow a new TRP philosophy — “promotion of truth in a responsible and professional manner”.
Recalling the contribution of several journalists during the independence movement, who considered the profession their mission, he said these days, while some were practising journalism as a mission, some were “commissioning it as an industry”.
Speaking at the third convocation of Kushabhau Thakre Patrakarita Avam Jansanchar Vishwavidyalaya at the Pandit Deendayal Upadhyay auditorium here, Naidu said the front page of a newspaper should contain news, while views should be restricted to the editorial page.
The media should dedicate itself to a new TRP philosophy — promotion of truth in a responsible and professional manner — he added.
One should not mix up news and views, because ultimately, the judgement had to be made by the people, the Vice-President said. (AGENCIES)
