संपादकीय के पाठकों को अनदेखा नहीं कर सकते : सुजीत कुमार झा

Today, the newspapers in India are undergoing a period of acute crisis in the face of growing commercialisation and pervasive decline in society and media at large. In this age of cut-throat competition, a newsapaper confronts the biggest challenge of survival with the market forces virtually guiding not only the layout, design, look and feel of a media product but also its news and editorial content, hitherto considered sacrosanct by the old school of journalism. The writer Sujeet Kumar Jha has sought to put all these points in perspective, while candidly speaking his mind on the relevance of the Edit Page in a newspaper. He has chosen to analyse a very pertinent issue before the Indian media today. It is really heartening to know that still there are sensisive, thoughtful and well-meaning journalists like him who simply abhor the idea of compromising the basic tenets of journalism at the altar of marketing pulls and pressures. - Vishal Duggal
