Vice-President M. Venkaiah Naidu on Friday felt there was an urgent need for the revival of media to uphold the ethos of journalism.
He was delivering the 6th M.V. Kamath Endowment Lecture at Manipal, organised by the Manipal Institute of Communication under Manipal Academy of Higher Education (MAHE), virtually. Missing values are a major concern in journalism, Mr. Naidu said.
Elaborating the historical significance of journalism, Mr. Naidu said he was disheartened over the state of it in the present day.
The responsibility of the media lies in bridging the gap between the government and people, with an analytical approach supported by evidence.
