The newspapers form a vital link between the people and the government. No government can run successfully without the help of the people. The newspapers provide this vital link.

Let us have a glance at the role of the newspapers in the modern world. The revolution in former Soviet Union owes a lot to the newspapers. No movement can succeed that doesn’t have a support of the newspapers. Newspapers represent various shades of the public opinion including that of the clarification from the government. This is the reason why no government can ignore their opinion and suggestion.

Newspapers have become a profitable industry in modern India. We find newspapers of all the main languages including English in the country. Hindi, Punjabi, Gujarati, Marathi, Bengali, and Malayalam newspapers are read in the specific regions of the country.

A free Press can serve a nation well. Press must be strictly impartial and it should not present views of a biased pattern. A responsible Press can serve the nation well and therefore such a press is the crying need of the hour. In India there are now independent news-agencies. They function without any sort of interference from the side of the government.

In every democracy the people and the government need the co-operation of each other. A free nation must have a free Press.

The newspapers are a source of information to the public. Therefore, there should be no censorship on the Press at all. If the Press becomes a tool in the hands of government, then there is no way out for the nation and it cannot survive at all. In Germany, the Press became a tool in the hands of the government. Therefore, the freedom of the nation came to an end and the Nazi regime had its sway.

Therefore, it is necessary for every democracy to give entire freedom to the Press. The Press can serve a nation well when it is free from all pressure.
