Journalism irreputable

Journalism irreputable
Journalism is supposed to be the fourth organ of the state. Any democratic country believes in people’s rights and freedom to communication and press. People involved in the field of journalism feel proud to be associated with it because it’s so challenging and daring. People respect this profession because journalists serve the people throughout the day and night without any selfish motive to get anything in return. But because of entry of some non-journalists this profession is being irreputable threatening the real journalism all over the country. Non-journalists have not only misused the journalism, but also invited unwanted tensions including death-threats and life-taking attacks on various media persons working freely across the country.
People involved in various illegal works are much interested in journalism just to make their black professions into white ones under the disguise of media houses.
The president of Press Council Nepal, Narayan Prasad Sharma also accepted journalism being polluted because of non-journalists on the occasion of 56th anniversary of Federation of Nepalese Journalists at Ghorahi of Dang district. People from various other areas like politics, teaching, contractors, etc. have involved in journalism just to meet their vested goals through media houses. Press Council Nepal alone can’t do anything in controlling the anti-elements prevailing in this field with over-ambitions.
Therefore, all the trained journalists with the sole aim of serving the people with their rights and freedom to information should be aware from the non-journalists who are trying to defame journalisms not only in national but also in the international arena.
