Sword of Truth
Sword of Truth
In old times newspapers carried some credibility for the published news. In India with economic development one can notice the arrival of many newspapers .Now it is very easy to get your news item published in such c grade newspapers and even some of the old credible ones have left their principles in this race of money. Sometimes I wonder which newspaper to trust. One of such newspaper is Dainik Jagran of India in which one can get published any news using influence .These papers may say we are voice of poor ,etc but in actual fact they aren’t.
Recently Indian Police(Jalandhar District,Punjab) in my state has captured the person who was involved in human trafficking or cross border illegal immigration to western countries but this newspaper(Dainik jagran) published the fake story in favour of that tout instead in favour of the poor people who get cheated by such agents. Such touts must be punished and jagran must stop cheap malpractices to get financial favours & need to concentrate more on the moral front.

Such sort of news highlights the nexus between criminals and the employees of dainik Jagran .I don’t really trust any news published in jagran.What we really need is truth to power the pen not lies.The other newspapers are also graudally joining these crocodiles and indian press must take proactive steps to protect the journalism.
