The New Age demands a new newspaper!
Where every alphabet will have to be an arsenal in itself!!
A newspaper wakes you up. A vibrant newspaper
shakes your conscience. The need of the hour is beyond this simplification.
Hence, the re-launching of, in a way the rebirth of, Andhra Jyothi.
Only those who race with the changing times,
who use cutting-edge technologies to deliver the goods, and who peep
into the distant futures with proper perspectives are the ones who
could really strum out the arrows with precision. They are the people
who have the ability to hit the bull's-eye.
Andhra Jyothi has such greatly committed,
well-groomed, exceedingly professional soldiers. They have the guts,
and we are proud that they are our commanders who have taken the decisive
positions. As you may have noticed the loaded guns of our lieutenants
have already triggered off the alphabets that zoomed past like the
unfailing bullets. And we assure they will continue to do so.
As has ever been, it will be a battle fought
every day on behalf of the people. The essence of any newspaper is
to wage that battle rightly. And in a rightful and judicious manner
too. If unchecked, half-truths, naked lies and true-lies will sweep
the society away into wilderness. If the news smells bias, it only
signals the death knell. When a newspaper is suspected of becoming
a pamphlet for one group or the other, the scenario becomes gloomy
with the readers losing trust. It spells doom.
Taking out the arrows, Andhra Jyothi
has made its presence against this background on Dasara 2002. On the
auspices Aayudha Puja day, it has taken the oath that it would commit
itself to every 'letter' that it prints, in true letter and spirit.
The true journalistic adage "without fear or favour" is put to test
in no uncertain words only to be proved right.
As has already been proved, it is a newspaper
with renewed energy and vigour. It is a warrior taking on the invisible
enemy. It wields sword. In the same breath it plays with fire.
Destined by the changing times and the history,
Andhra Jyothi is here to create history.
We Report! You Decide!!
