Hyderabad : Addressing at a book launch event, the Chief Justice of India NV Ramana on Wednesday said that the concept of investigative journalism is unfortunately vanishing from the media canvas.
The Chief Justice said : “As a person whose first job was that of a journalist, I am taking the liberty to share a few thoughts on present day media. The concept of investigative journalism is, unfortunately, vanishing from the media canvas. It is true at least in the Indian context. When we were growing up, we were growing up, we eagerly looked forward to news papers exposing big scandals. The news papers never disappointed us.
In the past, we have witnessed newspaper reports on scandals and misconduct creating waves leading to serious consequences. Barring one or two, I don’t recall any story of such magnitude in the recent years. Everything in our garden appears to be rosy. I leave it to you to arrive at your own conclusion. The CJI was speaking at the launch event of the book “Blood Sanders : The Great Forest Heist” authored by Shri Sudhakar Reddy Udumula, Senior Journalist .
