Mr Jayshankar Gupta, Executive Editor, Deshbandu pointed out that it is the need of the hour that media organisations should do more stories to sensitise people on the issues of the poor and under privileged rather than doing sensational journalism, which diverts people from real issues.

Mr Gupta added that he strongly feels that Television journalism has taken political reporting to lower levels while doing yellow journalism.

Mr Asad Mirza, Press and Communication Advisor of Urdu Division, British High Commission said that since eight out of the top ten newspapers in terms of circulation are vernacular, it is clear that there are more newspaper readers of vernacular languages than English.
