Journalists argue over functions of a newspaper.I feel that a provincial paper.s purpose is not only to present and project the news objectively and imaginatively, but to help its readers to express themselves more effectively, canalizing their aspirations, making more articulate their demands. A newspaper should reflect the community it serves-warts and all. When the mirror is held to society, it reveals neglect, injustice, ignorance or complacency. It should help to eradicate them. It would be pretentious to think that a newspaper can change the course of world affairs- but at the local limit it cna exert influence, it can probe, it can help get things done. The individual.s voice must not be stifled. Instead, the readers should be encouraged to express their opinions, fears, hopes, and/or their grievances on this platform.
