this is certainly a good news for us as the government has reviewed the print media ownership rules because there are many people coming up owning print media and it has rather become a business than to journalism. this will help to create a responsible media keeping the goals of journalism in mind. it is a just decision by letting the foreign direct investment to remain 26 percent as more of domestic investment would help create media for india.

reviewing ownership rules will enhance the quality of journalism. some of the people start printing media just for the sake of making money and they do this without adequate staff and qualified personnel. if substandard media is culled out, the quality of media will improve and people will gain trust in it.
