Gandhi had a deep and transformative relationship with journalism. He saw it as more than just a means of communication; for him, it was a powerful instrument for social change and a way to advocate for truth and justice.
In South Africa, he founded “Indian Opinion,” which aimed to address the injustices faced by the Indian community. Later, in India, he started “The Harijan” to highlight the struggles of the untouchables and promote social reform. Through these publications, Gandhi conveyed his vision of nonviolence, civil rights, and self-reliance.
He believed that journalists had a moral duty to report the truth and serve the community. For Gandhi, journalism was about fostering understanding and empathy, not just relaying facts. He argued that the media should inspire action and encourage dialogue, helping to unite people in the fight for justice.
His work showed how journalism could be a catalyst for change, linking activism with the power of the written word.
