Law degree for journalists is a must.
It is unwise to permit all and sundry to report about court proceedings and in that case the Kerala High Court issuing new norms for accreditation of the journalists covering court proceedings is in the right direction. If any journalist or reporter covering the High Court proceedings, possesses a degree in law he will never indulge in reporting silly matters and will keep dignity of the court.
The court saying that journalist should have five years of court reporting experience is certainly an added attraction for such reporting. The channel friendly politicians like V D Satheesan or advocate of the rebel group A P Udayabhanu coming against HC decision is unwarranted.
The news channels should stop airing abusive remarks against lawyers because they did not own a channel to convey their experience to the general public. Reporting should not be one-sided.
