Mysore/Mysuru: Social Welfare and Mysuru District In-Charge Minister Dr. H.C. Mahadevappa has underlined the role of media as the eyes, voice, and ears of society. He made this statement during the inauguration of Patrika Dinacharane (Newspaper Day) organised by the Mysuru District Journalists Association (MDJA) at the Rani Bahadur Auditorium on Hunsur Road in city this morning.
Elaborating on the media's significance, Minister Mahadevappa noted, "Media serves to reinforce the public's voice in a democratic society, giving a voice to the voiceless and those facing discrimination. Former US President Thomas Jefferson famously stated, 'there can be newspapers without Government, but there cannot be Government without newspapers.' The media acts as an advisor, safeguarding the people's interests and serving as a guardian of the nation."
