Mangalore, Jul 8: “Similar to the way in which a newspaper keeps watch over society, the society will also observe the newspapers. There is need to give priority to qualitative news and newspapers should sincerely work to be the voice of the voiceless,” said young poet and littérateur Mahesh R Nayak.


 

He was speaking at the ‘Journalism Day” organized by the Editors’ Club of D K District at Woodlands Hotel. Nayak threw light on the current state of affairs in the field of journalism.
 
“The functioning of newspapers which have a small circulation will make lots of difference if the language and the matter are presented without any ambiguity. However, it is a threat to society as well as the democratic system as the government is not supporting small media institutions,” he lamented.
 
President of the club Iqbal Kuttar presided over the programme. Journalist Rajesh Kadri presented his talk on the topic ‘Ups and Downs of Magazines’.
 
Nayak released the identity card of the members. Chief secretary of the club Ashok Shetty B N welcomed and conducted the programme.

    At ibnlive, it was suggested that, as no concrete figures are available for Indian money parked in other places like Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Cayman Islands, Seychelles, Mauritius, Macau, etc. According to several economists and financial experts, bank deposits in the territory of Switzerland by nationals of India total upwards of $1.4 billion. That is close to the nominal GDP of India today. Based on recovery of the money from Switzerland alone, $1.456 trillion of Indian money is parked in Swiss bank vaults. India, as of December 2010, had external debt amounting to $ 237 billion, according to the CIA World Fact book numbers. First step should be to pay this debt off. Assuming that with interest, the figure rises to even $275 billion, the country would be left with $ 1.181 trillion after paying off all its foreign debt.
    Till the black money does not return home India will be the world’s greatest economy,
    Unfazed by the subprime bubble. The citizens will be ravaged by a tsunami of unbridled inflation, due to a backhoed economy, where crores disappear at the macro level, &small change disappears at the micro level. At the grassroots level, chocolates are given out due to shortage of small change. Never mind the deficiency in service.
    Small newspapers have a daunting task. Best of luck. Remember that once upon a time, David slew the giant Goliath (1 Samuel 17:38-51). God Bess you all!
