Press Council chief says he has a dim view of most journalists |
-The Times of India
Describing journalists in general as having "very poor intellectual level", Press Council chairman Markandey Katju has called for the electronic media to be brought under the purview of the council. Katju went on to say in a television interview that he had a very poor opinion of most people in the media.
"The general rut is very low and I have a poor opinion of most media people. Frankly, I don't think they have much knowledge of economic theory or political science or literature or philosophy. I don't think they have studied all this," Katju said. He also said that he had written to the PM demanding that the Press Council be given "more teeth". Only last month, Katju had said in another TV interview that he would not shy away from using the "danda" to rein in erring journalists. "I have written to the PM that the electronic media should be brought under Press Council and it should be called Media Council and we should be given more teeth. Those teeth would be used in extreme situations," Katju said. He added that he had received a letter from the PM that his letter had been received and "they are considering it". The former Supreme Court judge said he had also met leader of opposition Sushma Swaraj and she had told him that probably there will be a "consensus". "I want powers to stop government advertisement, I want to suspend licence of that media for a certain period if it behaves in a very obnoxious manner, impose fines," Katju said while maintaining that all these measures would be used only in extreme situations. When asked if these measures would not threaten freedom of the media, he said, "Everybody is accountable in a democracy. No freedom is absolute. Every freedom is subject to reasonable restrictions. I am accountable, you are accountable, we are accountable to the people." He added, "Indian media is very often playing an anti-people role. It often diverts the attention of the people from the real problems which are basically economic. 80 per cent people are living in horrible poverty, unemployment, facing price rise, health care (problems)." |
