Addressing the newly elected members of the Ranchi Press Club today, Das said that the viewpoint of the media should always remain positive.
"The viewpoint of media should be positive. There should be criticism but it should not cross the line of modesty," an official release quoting the chief minister said.
Media is considered to be the fourth pillar of democracy and it should not lose its credibility out of creating sensation. Journalists should anticipate the impact in the society before writing any news. Media is also responsible towards society, he said.
