National Press Day is observed on November 16th every year in India. This day serves as a reminder of the importance of a free and responsible press in a democracy. It commemorates the establishment of the Press Council of India, which was formed on this day in 1966.
The Press Council of India is an autonomous body that acts as a watchdog for the press, ensuring that it maintains high standards of journalism and adheres to ethical practices. National Press Day is an occasion to reflect on the role of the media in society, its responsibilities, and the challenges it faces.
On this day, various events, seminars, and discussions are organized to promote a free and responsible press, encourage journalistic ethics, and highlight the importance of media in fostering a well-informed and democratic society. It's also an opportunity to recognize the contributions of journalists and media organizations to the dissemination of information and the functioning of a vibrant democracy.
