Today is a sad day for me. Can't share details.
During my service career,I had occasions to meet scores of journalists including senior editors.I had mixed experiences- satisfying,not-so-satisfying and outright condemnable.
Some journalists working on a 'beat' tend to lose objectivity and get sympathetic towards police officers, rather than citizens. Their job is to expose corruption and rot in the system.
Some journos agree to cover genuine stories only on unethical and unmentionable considerations.
Some masquerading as humane intellectuals only to execute agenda of ruling dispensations.
Some Corporate lobbyists act as intermediaries between the political executives and business houses.They hire the services of retired Secretaries who would have easy access to serving bureaucrats holding key positions.They were paid handsome remuneration. How demeaning!
All said and done ,I am proud of my F/B friends who have been in journalistic profession.They are honourable exceptions.
