Role of print and electronic media can’t be ignored, Allama Sajid Naqvi

Shiite News: Head of Shia Ulema Council, Allama Syed Sajid Ali Naqvi issued a message to the journalistic community on the occasion of May 3 International Press Freedom Day.

Journalism is an important responsibility whose goal is to guide the people, to convey the correct facts and truth to the people, to provide all information free from all kinds of prejudices, undue favoritism and all kinds of partiality.

The sacrifices of journalists for freedom of press around the world are countless. The purpose of this day is to highlight the importance of freedom of the press at the global level and also to take steps to overcome the difficulties and obstacles faced in the freedom of the press.

The services of the Palestinian journalists who brought the voice of the oppressed to the world and smoothed the public opinion will be remembered for a long time.

Freedom of press is one of the fundamental rights and no restrictions can be imposed on it and should not be imposed.

The purpose and real requirement of celebrating the World Journalism Day today is that the journalistic community should have freedom in performing their journalistic duties and protect their legitimate rights.

The role of print and electronic media in today’s era is unforgettable, its importance can never be forgotten or minimized in any way.

To play a role in making human life meaningful, journalism should not spend its full effort in highlighting and spreading ethics, this is a great service to humanity.
