Hindi Journalism Day is celebrated every year on 30 May. This day is an opportunity to remember that historical moment of Indian journalism when the newspaper was published in Hindi language for the first time in the country. This day not only has special significance for journalists and media personnel, but it is also a day to honor the medium for the general public, which gives them the true picture of society, country and the world.
Start of Hindi journalism
The foundation of Hindi journalism was laid on 30 May 1826, when the first Hindi newspaper called ‘Udant Martand’ was published from Kolkata. Pandit Jugal Kishore Shukla was its editor and publisher. This weekly newspaper was published every Tuesday and its price was kept at Rs 2 annually. Although ‘Udant Martand’ had to stop due to economic difficulties after publishing only 79 points, but it planted Hindi journalism, whose roots have become very strong today.
Effect of Hindi journalism
Hindi journalism has played an important role in bringing awareness in Indian society, raising public voice, empowering democracy and raising voice against social evils. From the freedom movement to date, Hindi journalism has not only enriched the world of news, but has also expanded social and political consciousness. Today, when the form of media has changed in the digital age, Hindi journalism is still known for its simplicity, depth and association with public sentiments.
Importance of today
The purpose of Hindi Journalism Day is not only to honor the contribution of journalists, but also to inspire morality, transparency and public interest to work as supreme in journalism. This day reminds the media world that journalism is not only business, but a responsibility towards society. On this day, seminars, discussions, honor ceremonies and writing competitions are organized in various media institutes, journalist organizations, schools and colleges, which consult the historical and present form of journalism.
