Site 'Stories'
Journalist house sites became hot topic in media community. Government allotted sites for vizag accredited journalists (basing on 2005 list) at Timmapuram. People who had not got these sites are worried very much and trying to pressurise society in all means. This is the story of people who had only 2006 accreditation's.
Observing the allotment of sites for accredited journalist, non accredited journalists (Stringer/ Contributors) also want to move a proposal to the Government in favour of them. Actually the number of Stringers will be five, six times high comparative with accredited journalists. (Now 180 accredited journalists are getting house sites. This number may reach 200)
Like in other working classes, here also some self announced leaders come forward with the slogan ‘house sites for non accredited journalists’. Soon, non- accredited journalists association started by two media friends who are presently running their own monthly magazines. Nearly 250- 300 members joined the association. Membership fee is fixed as Rs.50/- and collected 10,000/- to 15,000/-.
Vizag Journalist Forum (VJF) office which must be restricted to the forum affairs alone is used as venue by these two fellows for fee collection. On behalf of VJF manager member fee is collected. Months are passing, trails towards the sites proposals is almost nil. Now they are proposing to collect Rs.500 each on the name of future expenses. As this amount is little when compared to house sites benefit most of the people are ready to pay.
Till now they had not taken up the house sites proposal to state level. Unless, said a word to district collector in some meetings as a passing remark. Most of the people are not confident about the Government house sites allotment for non accredited journalists. Revenue sources are also not assuring for sites as there is no clause. Every media person support, if these friends got sites.
But collecting money on the name of house sites is nothing but cheating our own friends. So, members first of all ask about; the old amount and progress of the proposal. Then pay the amount to two self declared association leaders. Don’t think further amount is only 500/-. If 300 people pays it will be Rs.1, 50,000/-. Be cautious.
