NEW DELHI, Dec 23: The National Alliance of Journalists (NAJ) and the Delhi Union of Journalists (DUJ), have called for the widest possible unity on common issues, taking in view increasing dangers to journalists, their very livelihood and increasing dangers to press freedom today. They have stressed the necessity of a ‘save journalism’ movement.
Twin dangers to the profession are emerging, they said, both from select press barons and the government- that seek to reduce journalism to government tom-tomming on issues ranging from the protests against the Labour Codes to the current farmer struggles and common peoples struggles. Besides, the situation in the emerging TV and wide spectrum media for journalists and co-workers is deplorable, with jungle law prevalent.
