Ritesh Kapoor, while speaking on the keynote topic “Inclusive Journalism and how it is comparative with education and to provide career opportunities, said that in a time when trust in the media is declining around the world, it has become even more important to support good, accurate journalism which actually is the content that is ethical, independent, critical and of public interest.
He added that the purpose of journalism is to provide citizens with the information they need to make the best possible decisions about their lives, their communities, their societies and their government. Ritesh added that inclusion is a buzzword and the danger to buzzwords is that the true meaning gets lost and people use it solely to impress others.
The real description of inclusive journalism is to shed light on voices traditionally left out in news coverages and publications, he said adding that an important aspect of inclusion is that journalists need to challenge themselves to recognise their own impact bias and learn to diminish it.
