The stalwarts in photojournalism were honoured with the plaque for their outstanding contribution to the print media in Karnataka. P Sarangapani, T Abdul Hafeez, D Baburaj, TL Prabhakar, P Samson Victor and K Gopinathan were the retired photojournalists who were felicitated by KC Ramamurthy, Chairman, CMR Group of Institutions, HR Ranganath, Editor Public TV & Dr Sabitha Ramamurthy, President, Jnanadhara Trust, and Chancellor, CMR University.

Addressing the gathering, HR Ranganath, Managing Director & Editor of Public TV, the chief guest of the programme, said, “In the late 1980’s the photojournalism spearheaded the change from the traditional form of journalism, with a new breed of photojournalists. In Karnataka, print journalism took to a social phase, where stories were told with some brilliant images that were captured by the photojournalists. Journalism is a matter of great concern in democracy.”

KC Ramamurthy, Retd. IPS, and Chairman, CMR GoI, said, “Having known the veteran journalists personally over a period of time, the felicitation was a humble gesture for the service rendered by them to the society. During my days of tenure as a police official, the photojournalists have been extremely liberal and cooperative and throughout my tenure have been a great source of strength showering me with love and affection.”
