Guwahati, 24th September: Assam’s Minister Pijush Hazarika has voiced serious concerns regarding the proliferation of unregulated news portals that disseminate information without adhering to established journalistic guidelines. In a recent statement, Hazarika emphasized the risks posed by these digital platforms, which, under the pretense of journalism, are distributing content that fails to meet ethical and professional standards.
Addressing the media, Hazarika remarked, “In the name of journalism, several portals are broadcasting ‘News’ without following any guidelines. I appeal to everyone to adhere to established guidelines; otherwise, strict actions will be taken.” His comments underscore the Assam government’s increasing vigilance in monitoring media content within the digital landscape.
The minister’s statement reflects a broader initiative to ensure that the public has access to reliable and fact-based news, especially in an age where misinformation can spread rapidly. Hazarika’s call to action serves as a reminder of the importance of responsible journalism and the need for accountability among digital news providers. As the government moves to enhance regulatory measures, the focus remains on safeguarding the integrity of information accessible to the public.
