Protect Identity & Save Journalism
Friends,
It gives me pleasure to announce that the Indian Journalists Union (IJU) has emerged today as the biggest union of working journalists in the country. Today the journalists fraternity is facing various challenges. The biggest challenge before us is to save the identity of the profession. With the change of modes our responsibility has also increased. We should be more responsible and fair in our work so that we may be able to provide impartial news and views to our readers. We must come upto the expectations of our readers with strong credibility.
On the other side we must continue our fight to preserve our rights. With the introduction of the contract system, professional identity is eroding by every passing day. The Working Journalists Act, which was a big shield for professionals, is being scrapped. With this now the challenges in the profession have increased manifold.
The need of the time is to be united to face these challenges and come forward to make the profession a glorious one.
Jai Hind!
