Explanation:

• His first paper was written in South Africa, Indian Opinion. Gandhi started writing and giving interviews, in order to address the grievances of the Indians and rally public opinion in their favor. He focused on open letters and letters to the editor, but soon realized that the occasional newspaper writings and the hospitality was not sufficient for the political effort he undertook. Therefore, in June 1903, he launched an Indian Opinion to connect with the people. This was used to disseminate the news of the week to the Indian community. It had become an important educational tool. Gandhiji attempted to educate readers about hygeine self-discipline, and good citizenship through his newspaper columns.⠀
• Harijan and Young India were important platforms for his views on all matters. He wrote on every subject. With passion and intense anger he wrote simply and explicitly but strongly. Some of the goals of a newspaper is to recognize and convey the common feeling, another is to awaken those desirable feelings among people, and another is to unveil common weaknesses without fear. Also he used these two newspapers to ventilate his opinions/views and to educate the public about Satyagraha
• Besides the above three papers Gandhiji he launched in 1933, 3 more newspapers - Navjeevan,  Harijanbandhu, and Harijansevak n English, Gujarati and Hindi, respectively. Such papers were the instruments for his cruise on rural deprivation and untouchability.
• There was no advertisements in Gandhiji's newspapers. His papers a wide range of circulation. He was also not ambitious. Journalism was not for him a vocation to make a living; it was a way of helping the public.  His note of resistance and sacrifice influenced the media as a satyagraha tool. Gandhjii saw journalism as a way of helping the people.
