Workshop-2
Dr. B.L Jalan National Gen. Secretary, Rural Journalist Association of India said Media needs to understand its impact on the masses. News which leads to transformation should be given priority and news imparting 4Cs should take the backseat.
Media is a pictured as a quicksand , sooner we realize better it will be.
Mr. Sukhram Yadav, Senior Editor , Natkhat, Rajbiraj, Nepal

Mr. Ramesh Shah, Chairman, Vision True Media Group, Delhi

Mr. Ajay Indrekar, News Editor, All India Radio, Ahmedabad
According to Mr. Indrekar Media is the most powerful pillar of the democracy. He spoke about 24 Hour News channels where every bit of news is broadcasted as Breaking News. There is much more ambiguity on the authenticity of both news and source.

"News of positive, moral and educational nature can bring about change in the people."
Dr.S.N.Shukla, Chief Editor,Chikhta Bharat,UP, says,

Mr. Shyam Kumar, Editor Samachar Vaarta,Lucknow says,
"While positive news will help in spreading peace, the importance of reporting the wrongdoings cannot be belittled. It is the awareness about what is happening which can help in establishing peace."
