Mangaluru, Nov 19: “Media protects values in modern living in between pressures of profession. It is a challenge for journalist,” said Alva’s Education Trust president Dr M Mohan Alva.

He was speaking after inaugurating national newspaper day programme held by Dakshina Kannada district working journalists association at Mangaluru press club on Monday, November 18.

“There was wide growth of media during the last one hundred years. Control of media in the current age in between competition of investment is difficult. Besides that scarcity of knowledge regarding writing among youth who enter media in the force of enthusiasm is normal. It is necessary to proceed with utmost care.
