परखे हैं, पत्रकार!

Akanksha Chaudhary -

I remember a Journalist saying that the newsroom scene nowadays has drifted a lot from the ‘ethics of Journalism. ‘Credibility in the newsroom’ is the utmost foundation of news dissemination. When this primary need is unmet, the core of Journalism gets shackled in the heaviness of phoney and misleading information. The Journalist added that the “patrkaars” you see online quote secondary or tertiary sources that are often away from the truth. The true essence of Journalism lies in the groundwork, providing trusted primary sources and screening each piece of information for genuineness minutely.
