PILLARS OF DIGITAL NEWS,
Can any institution be conceived among media institutions run by corporate houses or have become family heirlooms, where only journalists and readers are valued? Any newspaper, television channel or media website where the editor takes decisions like appointment of journalists, coverage of news, keeping in mind the interest of the institution and journalism, not the institution owner or any leader or advertiser. In any democracy, people expect so much from the media, but in the world's largest democracy like India, in the current environment of the media, the editors hardly get this freedom. With the passage of time, the level of journalism is going down, the situation is getting worse.
There are many wrong practices in journalism, such as editing the news in a non-essential way, paid news, running some news for the benefit of personal relationships, etc. Media institutions no longer want to access the news, on the contrary, they have started to enter into trade agreements under the guise of journalism, some important information and news do not reach the public because the media institutes aim to benefit a person or a particular institution. Do not want to be exposed to. Gradually, the public has started realizing that journalism is in danger. The public's trust in the media is declining. The same media which claimed to be the 'fourth pillar' of democracy, is losing its credibility.
This was the main reason for the arrival of 2020 February 21 '. If journalism is to be saved, it has to be given editorial and financial freedom. And the only way for this is that the common man will have to participate in it. Those readers who want to preserve such journalism, want to reach the truth, want the news to be presented clearly and not by looking at the benefits of anyone, then they should come forward and help run such institutions. As an institution, the Hindi / English version of KanishkaSoshalMedia is committed to live according to public interest and democratic values. Apart from analyzing and commenting on the news, we also aim to preserve the traditional form of reporting. As our resources increase, we will try to reach more and more people.
This is our small but important step towards this objective. The unavailability of necessary resources is the only obstacle in our way of thinking about this form of journalism. There is so much request from our readers to read, share, and give suggestions to improve it further.
