Journalists can never be put on uniforms

Indian Journalists’ Association (I.J.A.) outright rejects the patently absurd jacket-wearing-by-journalists proposal. Nowhere in the  world, except in war fields, the power that be can ever think of forcing journalists to put on outfits to mark them out.
Because informants with any kind of uniforms can be arbitrarily barricaded, prevented from the very sources of information where they move in instinctively and rightfully. They do not only have the right but their honourable duty to access the sources of information, fairly and freely.
The State Police is strongly urged to discard the jacket idea forthwith. Instead they owe to the media the punitive measures taken against police perpetrators of attack on journalists.

Massacre of Newspersons

Massacre of Newspersons
Dusts have not settled yet. The sacking and firing of hired hands in the Fourth Estate are not coming to an end. Everybody there is a sacrificial lamb. The noble profession of journalism has turned into a hotbed of intrigues, fear, suspicion and a sense of helplessness has gripped almost all in the desk and on the field. The journalists are pushed on the firing line by the power that be, by the Press Barons.
The premier organization in the East, Ananda Bazar (ABP) Group, has already given marching orders to unknown numbers of scribes. It is feared that a total of 760 employees there would see the end of journey because the management feels that the organization has become too flabby and a trimming operation is inescapable. Result: terminate the employees. Already some 250 of them has suffered with early retirement or just given the lethal marching orders.
