President Ramchandra Paudel has said that free and fair journalism is the cornerstone of democracy. While congratulating the newly elected officials of the Federation of Nepalese Journalists on Monday, President Paudel said that the strengthening of democracy and its stability should also be the main goal of journalists.

Since free and fair and professional journalism and people's right to information are the pillars of democracy, our constitution has guaranteed full freedom of press and freedom of expression and right to information as fundamental rights. Therefore, I think that the strengthening of democracy and its stability should be the main goal of journalists," said President Paudel.  

With the rapid development of information technology, the change in news content, media and information transmission has made it easier to fulfill the reader's desire to get accurate information. Along with this, with the ease of information acquisition and transmission, the rush to provide information quickly leads to the danger that false information may flow and mislead the society. President Paudel says that it is important to be aware of mass media. 

President Paudel expressed his belief that the newly elected Working Committee of Federation of Nepalese Journalists will work effectively in the future for the rights of working journalists, freedom of press and expression and professional journalism.
