N. Ram, Director, The Hindu Group, on Wednesday stressed the importance of curated news and fact-based serious journalism amid the challenges posed by the growth of social media, disinformation, and the assaults and pressures on free speech.
Mr. Ram was speaking after inaugurating 'Sacred Facts: Media in a Post-Truth World,' a World News Day initiative organised by Mathrubhumi in association with Dailyhunt.
He stressed the importance of the ''scientific method'' in professional journalism in capturing and representing events and ideas and building trust with credibility, independence, transparency, and professional ethics.
