Patrakarita Jo Maine Dekha, Jana, Samjha
In his enlightening work 'Patrakarita Jo Maine Dekha, Jana, Samjha', Sanjay Kumar Singh embarks on a profound journey through the shifting terrain of journalism in India after independence. Once celebrated as the 'fourth pillar' of democracy, he contends that the media's influence and integrity have dissipated notably. Singh asserts that the spirit of investigative reporting has diminished, as media moguls increasingly favor financial gain over ethical standards. Yet, he observes a paradox in the burgeoning interest among students pursuing media studies as a viable career path. Despite this growing enthusiasm, the author warns that embracing journalism as a profession does not invariably lead to personal satisfaction or fulfillment. Furthermore, he illuminates the murky distinctions between promotional content and genuine news, highlighting the unstable employment landscape within the industry. This insightful manuscript stands as a stark examination of contemporary journalism, imploring its audience to thoughtfully reflect on the media's current condition and its consequential effects on the democratic fabric of society.
