LU vice chancellor stresses on accountability in journalism

Lucknow: Accountability in journalism is crucial, as it ensures that journalists are responsible for the accuracy, fairness, and ethical implications of their work, thereby helping to maintain public trust. This was emphasised by Lucknow University vice-chancellor Prof Alok Kumar Rai during a seminar held on the occasion of the birth anniversary of Narad Muni , who is often referred to as 'the first journalist' — a symbolic interpretation within Hindu mythology and tradition. The programme was organised under the joint aegis of Vishwa Samvad Kendra, Lucknow, and the Department of Journalism and Mass Communication. "A journalist works for public welfare by practicing journalism in the spirit of 'Sarvajan Hitaya, Sarvajan Sukhaya'. A journalist guides society through his conduct and writing, which should reflect the spirit of nation-building," said RSS Prachar Pramukh Subhash ji. He further said that a journalist is a warrior who sacrifices his life for the development of the country and society. In ancient times, the first journalist, Devarshi Narad ji, played the role of an ideal communicator — a role that, he said, is often wrongly portrayed in films. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Want Lower Bills Without Changing a Thing? elecTrick - Save upto 80% on Power Bill Learn More Undo Citing the example of Punjab in the 1980s, he highlighted how Lala Jagat Narayan, editor of Punjab Kesari, stood against terrorism and upheld national duty through his journalism.
