9th Kamal Ke Sipahi Awards at Marwah Studios Film City Noida

Nearly thirty journalists were selected for this award from all over India who all personally came to Noida Film City to collect it.

“Journalism will kill you, but it will keep you alive while you’re at it. A good newspaper, if I am not wrong, is a nation talking to itself. Journalism can never be silent: That is its greatest virtue and its greatest fault. Today we have heroes of journalism whom we are honouring for their sincere contribution towards good journalism,” said Dr Sandeep Marwah President of International Journalism Centre in a grand function at Marwah Studios.

“An ideal journalist should be observant and possess strong analytical skills to assess a situation if there is something more to it. Whether it is about confirming the credibility of sources or assessing an incident, a journalist should know how to weight a situation critically,” said Tirath Singh Rawat former Chief Minister of Uttarakhand and MP Lok Sabha in the capacity of Chief Guest congratulating all the awardees from different parts of the country and abroad.

“Every day is a good day. There is something to learn, care and celebrate.” “Any day above ground is a good day. Before you complain about anything, be thankful for your life and the things that are still going well,” suggested Sadguru Riteshwar Ji Maharaj and asked to learn as how to control your emotions.

“Though it may be interesting or even entertaining, the foremost value of news is as a utility to empower the informed. The purpose of journalism is thus to provide citizens with the information they need to make the best possible decisions about their lives, their communities, their societies, and their governments,” added Ashish Saraf Honorary Consul of The Commonwealth of Bahamas.

Sandeep Marwah Chaired NAI Webinar Meet

Sandeep Marwah Chaired Newspaper Association of India Meet

New Delhi; News Paper Association of India in association with International Chamber of Media And Entertainment Industry organized a webinar  on the future Prospects of Print Media.

“We could see that slowly and gradually the print media has been converted into digital media. The best of the news papers are now available on net. During Covid 19 the process has picked up in a much faster pace and even small news papers are available on net though there circulation is limited to what’s-up and person accounts on mobile. The impression which was created during corona virus forced many people to jump to digital from actual news paper delivery,” informed Dr. Sandeep Marwah President Marwah Studios and also for International Journalism Centre.

“The circulation has dropped down, collection of advertisement funds has reduced a lot, readership has been divided from News papers to viewership of television and most of the small news papers are fighting for survival,” added Dr. Vipin Gaur General Secretary of News Papers Association of India.

We are surprised that the packages, which Government of India has announced to support all industries, do not carry any single benefit to Newspapers or media as such. There is no compensation to media persons who have suffered from Corona virus even on duty,” added Vikas Sharma.

Many important members of NAI participated from all over India and expressed their feelings, grudges and appreciation for the media persons. Sandeep Marwah announced membership of SHISTH BHARAT for all important senior media persons.
