Cartoons integral part of journalism, say scribes

Published on: 

Cartoons are employed to express a thought without words. Due to this, cartoon education has its own value in journalism. This was expressed during the conference among the senior journalists. The conference was conducted by Public Relations department at Hotel Central Park.

Senior Journalist Ram Vidhrohi said that the things which cannot be expressed through columns can be expressed by cartoonists. In current times, the journalism has become commercial instead of social values and due to commercialisation, the cartoonists are ignored. Senior Journalist Suresh Samrat has said that in Indian journalism, the moral values are highlighted in cartoons. In Indian politics, the cartoonist is more influenced by sarcasm.

Rakesh Achal has said that the cartoons reduce the agony of common man. Rakesh Pathak said that when in daily life, moral values are ignored, print media uses cartoons. Senior Journalist Avadh Anand said that sarcasm is more important for journalism and it should be appreciated. He said that the left corner of newspaper is for cartoons but at present, it is replaced by other subjects.

Young Journalist Praveen Dubey has said that the cartoons are an important branch of journalism. Cartoons should be beneficial for social structure. In the seminar, senior journalist Keshav Pandey and Sabir Ali has also expressed their views. At the end, Joint Director Public Relations DD Shakyawar has expressed gratitude. The seminar was conducted by Dev Shrimali. The seminar commenced with the lighting of ceremonial lamp and garlanding photograph of Goddess Saraswati.
