No I was not talking about the private or public advertisments but in terms of the projection of views. The press depends on the government for the purchase of news print. Similarly, many newspapers also depend upon the government for the advertisments and this source of income can be turned off or on at the discretion of those in power. This often puts the editors or journalists at an awkward situation where he/ she has to maintain objectivity and please the funders or financers as well. What do you think about that?
Second, please also shed light on the role of advertising.
Thank you.
