As per data available, circulation of small, medium and regional language newspapers is 11 times more than English newspapers. With growth of literacy, the demand is increasing. - Justice P.B. Sawant. Former Chairman, Press Council of India

The print media is poised to grow and in a country like ours, where a majority of the population is waiting to be literate and educated, the scope for the growth of the print media is huge. The future is bright.

There is no better informer and educators, better guide, better watchdog of the interests of the people, better forum for voicing the grievances and the hopes and aspirations of the people and a better leader of the people to exhort them to do their duty by the nation, than the local newspaper, under the NAI umbrella.

This country needs more and more genuine local level regional language newspapers to build its democratic institutions from the grass-root level upwards. The masses are the makers or our nation, the builders of its democracy and of its prosperity.

The majority of the big newspapers and particularly the English newspapers published in the metropolitan towns and which are called national or mainstream newspapers, handles elite subjects and cater to the needs and tasks of the elite section. NAI members should not imitate them and just be their reflection. NAI members have a special agenda. They have to deal with the problems of the masses, cater to their needs and voice their grievances, and to give vent to their hopes and aspirations.
