New Delhi, July 3 (SocialNews.XYZ) Democracies flourish when media informs, asks meaningful questions, and encourages informed public debate while respecting facts, maintaining credibility and adhering to the highest professional standards, asserted Vice-President C.P. Radhakrishnan while addressing the 80th Foundation Day celebrations of the Organiser Weekly at the national capital's India Habitat Centre on Friday. Freedom of the press is meaningful only when exercised with courage and responsibility, he said. "Born in one of the most turbulent moments in our national history. Few publications can claim to have witnessed documented and participated in India's journey from the very dawn of India's Independence," he added.
