Journalism after Independence

 Journalism during Independence Movement was like a mission. The motto of this era’s journalism was to increase unity, nation love and feeling of nationhood amongst populace  and to rebuild tradition and cultures of our nation. Mostly all of the journalists were part of independence struggle.  The energy through which journalists work before independence vanished afterwards.  In other words Hindi Journalism after independence was on the wrong track. Commercialization attained major portion then real Journalism. Editor’s hijacked Newspapers with were owned by Industrialists. So the competition also increased which was in terms of profit and loss. But with all types of negative situations Hindi Journalism continued to develop society normally and financially also. To make India a democratic country the biggest contribution was from Hindi Journalism. Indian Journalism worked as a middle point between Government and common people. According to one survey in 1979 it was proved that circulation digits of English Newspapers were decelerated by Hindi Newspapers only. On one hand in that year the circulation of Hindi Newspapers was 9706000. On the other hand the circulation of English Newspapers was 9030000. Whether it was News Gathering , Printing Technology , Layout etc in every field development happened.

In today’s time there are different columns for News , Literature , Society , Culture, Female world, Children, Music, Films, Finance, Industrial Area, Sports, Health, Education , Critical Writing etc Magazines-Newspapers presents a developed World of Journalism. Overall we can state that after Independence Hindi Journalism attained a new platform. In these National and Language Movement , Cultural Awareness, Historical Notes, Critical Notes etc are printing day by day. The only Biggest Challenge which is there for Hindi Journalism is Commercialization. In today’s time different Journalism Agencies are competing with each other for Advertisement and are acting like a puppets in hands of Industrialists and different Politicians. This is the biggest danger on Indian Journalism.
