&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Amartya Sen is very clear that one of the central features of democracies which advance public reasoning in the world is support for a free and independent press. Unrestrained and healthy media are, he argues, important for five main reasons, the first four of which are:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;1. The most elementary connection concerns the &amp;lsquo;direct contribution of free speech in general and of press freedom in particular to the quality of lives&amp;rsquo;. Media freedom is critically important for us to have the capability to do something we have reason to want: &amp;lsquo;to communicate with each other and to understand better the world in which we live&amp;rsquo;. Without free media, the quality of human life drops or is reduced, &amp;lsquo;even if the authoritarian country that imposes such suppression happens to be very rich in terms of gross national product&amp;rsquo; (IJ: 335&amp;ndash;6).&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;2. The press has a major informational role in disseminating knowledge and allowing critical scrutiny. This is true of both investigative journalism and more everyday journalism. The former is vital in unearthing information that otherwise might not have been revealed. The latter &amp;ndash; everyday journalism &amp;ndash; is also crucial as more &amp;lsquo;mundane&amp;rsquo; matters and information also play an important role in keeping the citizenry generally informed.&lt;/p&gt;

Amartya Sen said no democracy, with a free press, has ever had major famines -Lawrence Hamilton

-ThePrint.in In ‘How To Read Amartya Sen’, Lawrence Hamilton writes on the economist’s thrust on free press and public reasoning as the centre of a democracy. Amartya Sen is very clear that one of the central features of democracies which advance public reasoning in the world is support for a free and independent press. Unrestrained and healthy media are, he argues, important for five main reasons, the first four of which are: 1. The most elementary connection concerns the ‘direct contribution of free speech in general and of press freedom in particular to the quality of lives’. Media freedom is critically important for us to have the capability to do something we have reason to want: ‘to communicate with each other and to understand better the world in which we live’. Without free media, the quality of human life drops or is reduced, ‘even if the authoritarian country that imposes such suppression happens to be very rich in terms of gross national product’ (IJ: 335–6). 2. The press has a major informational role in disseminating knowledge and allowing critical scrutiny. This is true of both investigative journalism and more everyday journalism. The former is vital in unearthing information that otherwise might not have been revealed. The latter – everyday journalism – is also crucial as more ‘mundane’ matters and information also play an important role in keeping the citizenry generally informed. Please click here to read more.
