அச்சு ஊடகங்கள் சந்திக்கும் நெருக்கடிகளில் மீளவும்- கோரிக்கைகளை நிறைவேற்றவும் தி.மு.க துணை நிற்கும்! அதே சமயம், பேரிடரை எதிர்கொள்ளும் திட்டமும்...

DMK president M.K. Stalin pledged the unreserved solidarity of the DMK to the print media sector, recognizing the severe financial difficulties, revenue collapse, and distribution disruptions confronting newspapers and periodicals during the lockdown. Stalin emphasized that independent print journalism serves as a vital pillar of constitutional democracy, providing reliable reporting and keeping citizens informed during acute public health emergencies when misinformation easily proliferates across society.

Stalin urged the state and central governments to promptly fulfill the legitimate economic demands of newspaper establishments and working journalists by providing stimulus packages, tax deferrals, and prompt settlement of official advertisement dues. Sustaining media viability is essential for safeguarding thousands of livelihoods across printing presses, newsrooms, and distribution networks throughout the state.

Simultaneously, Stalin called upon print media organizations to fulfill their investigative duty by rigorously scrutinizing governmental preparedness and exposing the absence of comprehensive disaster mitigation policies. He stressed that fearless journalism must consistently highlight administrative lapses, hold executive authorities accountable, and ensure that public pressure compels the state administration to deliver essential medical and financial assistance to distressed citizens throughout Tamil Nadu.
