Q. Write a precis of the following passage and give a suitable title.
We all wish to know what goes on around us. In the old days man lived in small
communities and he could easily satisfy his curiosity by exchanging news with his
friends who were his close neighbours. Things that happened far away from his home
did not affect him much. But in the world of today we are interested not only in the
affairs of our little community but in what happens in distant countries. One of the
several means of getting to know what is going on everywhere is through newspapers.
The primary function of the newspaper is to give news of the day. This may mean news
of the town or of the country or foreign news. It will also include the latest market rates
and sports news
Newspapers play an important role in the political life of a democratic state. In a
democracy the people are to be well informed and so the newspaper must publish news
without any fear or favour. They should always try to be objective in their assessment of
situations and present a complete picture. Not many of our newspapers do this. Some
of them indulge in false propaganda, some others tend to speak with prejudice. There
are also newspapers which specialise in sensation and scandals. It is best to avoid
reading them
Newspapers are a powerful means of communication and hence should be handled
with care. That is the reason why in some countries the governments do not favour
their independence. But the tendency to curb their freedom is not in the tradition of
democracy. Freedom of expression is a fundamental human right and newspapers are
essential to express different views. (279 words)​
