'Power Full' Journalists

Vizag journalists became power hungers. They are in need of their union posts to complete their works with officers. Don't admire that 'is it true?' - Here is the real face of the Vizag journalists. Do you know who are leading these associations and unions? "Journalists working in local and less readable news papers and the papers which never seen and never heard." Wearing this posts as masks they will get their works done successfully. Officers also think that these are the people who control entire Vizag journalists.

Vizag journalists forming number of unions for their personal benefits. With these unions Vizag journalists number became less than the unions claiming subscriptions. Because one person is member in more than two unions. Like Sports journalists association, which we discussed earlier there are certain unions like Crime, Electronic media, Small papers and area wise associations.

There are state wide associations like Andhra Pradesh Working Journalists union (APWJU), Journalists Association of Andhra Pradesh (JAAP). These unions are not much active in Vizag half a decade back. Some of the senior journalists formed a comprehensive union on the name "Vizag Journalists Forum" (VJF) and raised the funds in a big way. It had acquired one office space at Dabagardens and three floored building in Seethammadhara (Opposite to RytuBazar).

VJF will have direct elections for every two years. Members number in this Forum is also higher than the journalists who are working on ground. Eenadu people keep distance not only with VJF and also to other unions. Persons who failed to get post in VJF slowly moved to JAAP, APWJU etc., Automatically these unions also gained satisfactory strength. Members in VJF are also members in other unions for posts.

Journalists who can't get posts in unions are worried and recently started a state wide union on the name of "Young Journalists Association of India". Even though there is no recognition for this union people suffering from lack of posts joined. But by their nature, quarrel began for the posts and are now ready to fight. Paper less and Channel less journalists are supporters for this association.

Settlement media group formed a separate union to workout their influence at Commissioner of Police and other Police officers on the name of "Crime Reporters Association". Known settlement reporter DurgaRao (Vision) who is chemcha for VJF President ShivaSankar declared himself as president for this union. Police station settlement reporters like Satyanarayana, EswaraRao, Ravi, Nani are members in this union. Ramesh who had thrown out from TV9 for his mischief, bluffing that he joined NTV (Prasad who worked earlier in MAA TV appointed as reporter for NTV) is treasurer for this crime association.

As police commissioner changed recently these people want to approach him on the name of "Crime Reporters Association" and done their works. You can find these people waiting at commissionorate or police stations for settlements. Basing on the relation with C.P. they will put pressure on ACP's, CI's and SI's. If CP recognise this union crime reporters work will become easy.

Coming to the electronic media association. Journalists working in TV channels want their share in union activities, which not accepted by the existing news paper based unions. So, they started Electronic Media Journalists Association at the time of assembly elections and worked out their purpose. This association is lead by local cable channel reporter BabuRao and Satellite channels reporters don't want to continue in the association thinking that BabuRao increasing influence on this brand name. Satellite channel reporters started Vizag Electronic Media Association (VEMA) separately. Now there are only two persons (Zee TV reporter RamachandraRao, Dooradarshan reporter Anand) left in this union.

These people are making money on name of union activities. There is no personal identification on the name of news paper or channel to these persons. So they selected the easy route of forming associations and introducing them as President, Secretary, Joint Secretary, Treasurer, Executive Member etc., You can observe on their vehicle number plates writing these posts with red color stating that they are extra ordinary persons. Also you can watch writing "PRESS" on vehicles in a very big size.
Friends is it correct claiming this much of priority???
