In The Age Of Fake News, We Need Journalists More Than Ever To Document The Unseen & Expose Fault Lines… – Live Law – Indian Legal News

"In the age of fake news and disinformation, we need journalists more than ever to document the unseen and expose the fault lines in our society", Justice D. Y. Chandrachud has remarked.

The Supreme Court judge was delivering his address at the 11th Convocation and Founder's Day Ceremony at the O. P. Jindal Global University.

Following are the excerpts from his address :

"As I reach out to the parents across the stadium, I reach out to my own parents. You are fortunate to have your parents in the stadium. My parents are way above the twinkling stars. But I am today where I am and I exist today because of the unstinted dedication, the care, the love and the compassion which my mother showed to me as a sickly, young child who was given a wrong antibiotic in the 1960s and I survived to see the day thanks to just the love and affection which my parents gave me. I would like to congratulate your resilience in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic which has transformed our lives. These unprecedented times have also made us aware of our innate ability to adapt and to be empathetic to others. We count on the blessing of life itself, countless others across the world have not been as fortunate", expressed Justice Chandrachud.
