Seven Principles for the conduct of media

1) The first mission of media is to tell truth as nearly as the truth may be ascertained

2) Media and journalists shall tell ALL truth so far as it can learn it, concerning the important affairs of India and the world

3) As a disseminator of the news, media owners and journalists shall observe the decencies that are obligatory upon a private citizen

4) What it prints/telecasts shall be fit reading/watching for the young as well as for the old

5) Journalists' duty is to its readers/viewers and to the public at large, and not to the private interests of its owner

6) In the pursuit of truth, media shall be prepared to make sacrifices or its material fortunes, if such course be necessary for the public good

7) The media or journalists shall not be the ally of any special interest, but shall be fair and free and wholesome in its outlook on public affairs and public men

----Ramu and Hema, editors of this blog, propose this for Indian media.
(Note: We borrowed the idea from Eugene Meyer's quotes found on the wall of "Washington Post" head office in Washington DC, USA and slightly modified to apply to the Indian context)
