Editorial orthodoxy
As far as I know, our newspapers have full freedom in terms of publishing news and views. And as far as political bias is concerned, most of the newspapers maintain their own positions by all means. But the ethics of journalism does not support that kind of biased news coverage or truncated way of expressing views. Keeping aside all kinds of partial characteristics, I would hope that there would be no editorial orthodoxy as far as the contributors are concerned. Rather, they should encourage all the writers so that they can write freely.
I also believe that the balance of unity within diversity can only come from combining different points of view, rather than hiding anything.
