Mt Abu, 30 Sep: Aimed at establishing peace, unity and trust, the five day long national media conference held in the Shantivan campus of Prajapita Brahmakumaris Ishvariya Vishwavidyalaya concluded on a positive note with a call on ethical reporting by the media professionals.
Presiding as the Chief Guest at the inaugural session, the Governor exhorted the Indian media to be positive and keep the nation’s interest as priority while reporting. He said, “To sensationalise news content, often the media forgets its responsibility of ethical reporting which is not good. Nation’s interest must be the foremost for everyone, be it the media or a politician. People should win elections based on thoughts and national interest and not religion. This will strengthen our democracy.” He quoted former Indian President Abdul Kalam who often questioned why the Indian media was so negative.
The Governor honoured Rajyogini BK Mohini, Administrative head of Brahma Kumaris, and Rajyogi Karuna, Chairperson of the media wing RERF, Mount Abu, with the international Book of Honor.
Rajayogini BK Jayant, Additional Administrative Head, Brahma Kumaris, observed that while the media excels at reporting global conflicts, it often overlooks the equally abundant stories of peace and positive progress across various spheres. Brother BK Shantanu, National Coordinator, media wing, Mount Abu, emphasised that trustworthy reporting fosters societal trust and unity. Sister BK Sarla, Sister BK Usha, BK Atam Prakash, Vice Chairperson, Media Wing, RERF, Mt Abu, Professor Mansingh Parmar, Madhukar Dwivedi, BK Nikunj, Gopal Raju shared their insights amongst others.
