[icernet] 'Journalism practised by Gandhi no longer exists''

[Arul Selvan]

  The former Prime Minister, Inder Kumar Gujral, expressed concern over 
the fact that journalism had become a profession where the editor no 
longer mattered. ``Editors do not matter any more. It is the proprietor 
who has become more important than the editor,'' he rued while 
inaugurating a function here to mark the centenary of Indian Opinion, a 
weekly newspaper started by Mahatma Gandhi in South Africa. Mr. Gujral 
hailed Gandhi as a great communicator. "Journalism practised by him and 
other stalwarts no longer exists. Gandhi used every possible medium to 
give his message. Even the "Charkha" was an innovative medium used by 
him to communicate his ideals and philosophy.''
