VISAKHAPATNAM: Andhra Pradesh Working Journalists’ Federation’s general secretary G. Anjaneyulu has urged the media to move ahead to work for the cause of the society and face challenges displaying the same sense of unity it did while facing the recent attack against Andhra Jyothi editor and his colleagues. Participating in a seminar on ‘Freedom of Press, challenges’ here, he felt there was need to discuss the misuse of the provisions of law in some respects. He also suggested launching a newspaper in the cooperative sector with journalists who need not toe the agenda of the proprietors but carry news and express their views without fear or favour. Mr. Anjaneyulu also disclosed that he led a delegation to the Madiga Dandora leader Manda Krishna Madiga when the latter was about to lodge complaints under the various provisions of law against nearly a hundred journalists belonging to Andhra Jyothi and other media organisations, which resulted in cases only against three members and not on others. Head of the Department of Journalism and Mass Communications in Andhra University, P. Bobby Vardhan, in an interesting lecture traced the attacks on press were nothing new. He felt there was no freedom of press as such at present. There was need to protect the media against all attacks as it was serving the public cause. The media should be free without any shackles and hold its head high in the society, he opined. City president of the union P. Narayan presided. Union leaders Anandam, Somaiah, Bhaskar, and others spoke. Later, the union distributed notebooks to children of journalists in the city. Director of Srinivasa Vidya Peeth, S. Ravindra, K.L. Bhushan Rao, and K. Atchyuta Rao, Vaisakhi Jalaudyanavanam directors Nagabhushanam Patnaik and Subbarao were present.
