Fake Journalists Active; Is Journalism a Business?

Bhubaneswar (Surjit Kumar Dhal): Badamba-Narsinghpur under Aathgad sub-division of cuttack district, is now witnessing innumerable fake journalists. These people can’t speak or write scripts in a well manner. With the unnamed boom and identity card multiple people have identify themselves as journalists, who are contractors, and trying to earn money illegally. In Badamba-Narsinghpur, many journalists are now contracting. For these fake people, the entire media line is now sitting on the brink of hatred, losing its weight in the society.

The goal of these journalists should support the common mass by collecting various informations, such as corruption at the social level and the plight of the people. It seems that journalism has no criteria or qualifications. Many ineligible people appear to be roaming the streets now, taking identity cards and booms for money and taking journalism as a way of earning a living. The police administration and cyber cell should take stern action against these fake newsmen.

With the opening of web channels, which is open to the public, it is required that an investigation must be carried out against ineligible and fake journalists, who do not know the style of speaking and writing to newspapers. Two days before, a video of a fake journalist gone viral on social media. In that video, the newsman carried 50kgs of PDS rice instead of his allotted 20kg rice for two months on his expensive vehicle by using the weapon of journalism.  What can such nasty persons do for the welfare of the society ?
