Brahmavar, Oct 12: Veteran writer, Ambatanaya Mudrady, stressed the view that the media should always aim at blooming or achieving positive results and not incite people.

He was speaking after handing over the award at the Vaddarse Raghuram Shetty journalism award at a function held at Buntara Bhavan Brahmavar on Sunday October 11 under the aegis of Brahmavar Taluk Journalists Union.

"Love, trust and unity are the core requirements of journalism. Newspapers are very much necessary to strengthen awareness among the people," he stated.

In his keynote address, advocate and social activist, Sudheer Kumar Murolli, said that the newspapers should achieve reforms in the people.
