Just look at the pressure the media is putting on the 2G scam and Adarsh case. This is why media is important. If there is no media, these cases would have shut up easily and the culprits like A Raja would have been scot-free. So to expose such things through their writings and daredevil, they need to be protected. And if one journalist is bad, then you can make it a generalised statement. So we need to understand the meaning of the democracy.....Philip Varghesenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3902315611133284056.post-22373091561876693912011-06-26T16:13:45.323+05:302011-06-26T16:13:45.323+05:30Journalism is a social job.

I am an engineer and i know that v need no special priveledges because working in a dangerous area is another job for us. Journalists on the other hand are very vulnerable. For them working in dangerous environment is itself a job. The need special protection and privileges. The privileges which you mentioned are not asked by reporters, but are given in order to cover a news story. Plz understand that unlike other professions media is the fourth pillar of democrcay and FREE PRESS needs to be protected in order to enable proper functioning of democrcay and encourage feraless journalism rather than cowardism.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3902315611133284056.post-21005794597604580342011-06-18T22:35:29.481+05:302011-06-18T22:35:29.481+05:30I agree with the thrust of the post, but must add ...I agree with the thrust of the post, but must add that Dubey was killed by highway robbers, not the corrupt guys he exposed.

The JDey murder has come in handy for a lot of highly politically connected journalistic elements who are using it for either a political or personal agenda.<br /><br />Moily has needlessly stepped in; the local government was handling it well and chavan had said no firmly.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
