Serious journalism on the decline: Mani

THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Kerala Congress (M) leader K. M. Mani has regretted the decline of responsible journalism.

Delivering a lecture on ‘Journalism: Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow’ following presentation of the K. Vijayaraghavan Award for life-time achievement in journalism to veteran journalist K.G. Parameswaran Nair here on Monday, Mr. Mani said the pursuit of sensationalism was becoming a major bane for the media.

Earlier, after presenting the ward, Union Parliamentary Affairs Minister Vayalar Ravi called for a legislation to check the activities of all corporate entities that worked against the attempts of the government to check inflation and hold the price line.

K. Vijayaraghavan Memorial Trust chairman A. P. Viswanathan presided over the meeting. Trust member Indra Babu proposed a vote of thanks.
