Free media is an instrumental part of a democracy. In fact, it is known as the fourth pillar of democracy and hence, National Journalism Day is celebrated every year on 16 November 2021.
This day is largely celebrated to honour the Press Council of India, a statutory establishment that was created on 16 November 1966, to monitor and access the quality of reportage provided by the Indian press.
