In his address, Rakesh Sharma said, “Today, we stand at the intersection of tradition and transformation. The rapid growth of technology, social media, and digital platforms have drastically changed how news is delivered and consumed.”

“For us, this shift presents both challenges and opportunities. Hence, I request all the publishers to be agile, innovative, and vigilant in their strategic approaches,” he said.

“As we embrace the digital age, we must innovate and adapt to the changing needs of our readers. Whether through interactive media, data-driven stories, or immersive experiences, we must captivate and inform our audiences,” he said, adding, “at the same time, it is our duty to preserve the essence of print journalism.”
“Press freedom is the lifeblood of our democracy, and we must defend it at any cost. We must stand united in protecting the independence of the press, resisting any attempts to restrict our freedom to report, express opinions, and investigate matters of public interest,” he said.
