Answer 2

Answer:

Pativedakas report to the King but the reporters of today report to the public.  

Explanation:

Pativedakas:

• Pativedakas are the people in-charge  of reporting the affairs of the people at all the times.

• Pativedakas are referred to reporters during the Mauryan reign.

• They are allowed to report to the King no matter where the king is, even if he is busy, they can still intrude with the information gathered.
• Due to which the king disposes the affairs of the people everywhere.
• Pativedakas can meet the King at any time.
• Therefore, the Epigraphists have translated the term pativedaka as reporter.

Reporters of modern period:

• The phrase "social responsibility" refers to a broad range of endeavours.
• The information that is printed or transmitted is shared by the journalists, and the press is responsible to society as well as the media.
• It must ensure that its services are provided with an ethical consciousness.
• They gather their data from a variety of sources.
• Personal interviews, contacts, wire services (news delivered via satellite dishes), news briefings, and question-and-answer sessions may all fall under this category.
• This data is gathered and put together by a news reporter for dissemination to the public.

Hence, the reporters of modern day report to the people but not to a king.
