Media - Freedom of Press
Shashi Tharoor.
Freedom of the
press is written by one of the most significant personalities of modern India.
The Essay of Shashi
Tharoor was published in “The Hindu” On 4th May 2003 and it was on
the 3rd of May, which is known as
“The World Press freedom
days.”
When he wrote this particular essay on the
same day. He remembers 12 journalists who were killed in the U.S.This essay
took shape primarily because of this particular incident.
By Freedom of Press
what he means is freedom of expression it is through the freedom of press that
we can see the world and come to know about what is happening around. The 3rd
of May marks their anniversary of the statement of principles
decided by Journalist from Africa, who
vouched for free and independent media in Africa as well as throughout the
world which was later on adopted by
UNESCO-
(United Nation Educational Scientific and Cultural Organization)
As the fundamental
need of any democratic set up.
Press with the freedom of
expression is absolutely in inevitable for the democratic society as well as for
social and economic development. It would have a sense of transparency throughout
and our legal as well as political system would behave in more accountable manner.
Restricting the freedom of press would not allow the
global development of any particular country as proper bifurcation of
information result the concerned country would fail in all the fields where in
information is require in order to developed. Development in today’s modern era
is dependent on afficant sending receiving of information though Newspaper,
Magazines, Journals , Internet as well as Television .Liberation in the field
of Media is the order of the day.
United nations
organized to major events in the year 2004 for the development of Press and
Press of Freedom especially in Electronic Media in GENEVA In Mouth of December where in they discuss the role of Electronic media in today's globalized society. The Focus was on giving ultimate
Freedom in order to generate the plurality of information through Mass and Other
communications Media .The society in 21 century can only survive if the
information is allowed to every single person through Media.The Summit Geneva
focused upon the important of allowing all the country s make them aware about
the cultural diversity of every nation.
It is only possible though
the use add Digital Technology which would allow the visual representation of
what is happening around the world.
Shashi Tharoor emphasis on
the challenge that the united nation has which is of allowing access of
information to every sector of the society and empowering them with the information
required in order to survive in the society.
In a way Freedom of Press would
serve as a blessing in disguides for the underprivileged who would get a conman
platform
For theie voices to be heard.
