Credibility biggest challenge facing media: Modi

Published on: 

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday said credibility is the biggest challenge for media in the age of technology and it is important for media establishments to maintain it.

Speaking after giving away the Ramnath Goenka Excellence in Journalism Awards organised by The Indian Express, he said earlier people with certain training and qualification came to journalism but today anybody with a mobile phone can click a picture and upload it.

"People now have a lot of news. In this context, maintaining credibility is a big issue and the biggest demand of time," he said.

In a lighter vein, the Prime Minister said while media had full freedom to comment on everything and everybody, it does not like others' views on it.
