Media’s responsibility to promote peace processes: Ram

COLOMBO: “Time has come for the media in South Asia to seriously introspect on its role on how it could improve its performance in the betterment of the welfare of the people and the peace processes in the society,” N. Ram, Editor-in-chief of The Hindu, said on Tuesday.

Speaking at a function where he was awarded the Best Journalist of Asia by the Sri Lanka Mass Media Society (a government-supported NGO to promote excellence in the media world), Mr. Ram said the media had a role to play to promote “sustainable peace” in the region through non-violent means.

Mr. Ram conceded that there was scope for the media to lend voice to different views but maintained at the end of the day it was “accountability to the society that counts.”
