The article incidentally is really an adaptation from President Kalam”saddress at the Press Council of India during the celebrations of National Press Day in New Delhi on November 16, 2006. But to this day there is not the slightest indication that any newspaper has followed his well-meaning advice, though he strongly commended one paper without mentioning its name(it happens to be The Hindu) for appointing a consultant exclusively for maintaining the standard of the newspaper reporting and nurturing the name of the paper. If only Dr Kalam knew how some newspapers functioned!
Continuous updating of knowledge in a research environment is essential for all media personnel.
