Don't sensationalise crime news, scribes told

By Our Staff Reporter

ANANTAPUR, FEB. 14. The Superintendent of Police, R.S. Praveen Kumar, on Monday suggested that newspaper reporters go beyond the police, suspects and victims of a case to find out facts.

Speaking at a workshop for desk journalists, he expressed concern that liberalisation of the economy was helping in growth in crime.

He observed that crime had become sensational news most of the time and the importance given to crime news was not being accorded to the news written on development after a vast study.

The SP appealed to journalists to cross-check the facts twice in crime reporting.

Later, the former Editor of Visalandhra, Raghavachary, and the faculty of Department of Communication and Journalism, Osmania University, K. Nageshwar, took classes to desk journalists to conclude the two-day workshop jointly organised by the Andhra Pradesh Union of Working Journalists and the Andhra Pradesh Press Academy.
