13. In a democratic country free press is the guardian of liberty and the citadel of
democratic ideals to protect the public interest. Apart from that, as in the case
of private citizen every newspaper must have the fullest right to publish, propagate
and popularize the views and principles to which it is dedicated, irrespective of
its ownership. Also it is the inherent right of the press in any civilized society to
encourage the debate in its columns on any issue which affects the nation. The
press generally assumes the sacred duty to mould, shape and educate the people.
Hence attempts to regulate such an institution will be detrimental to free thinking
and democratic spirit. The newspaper industry is different from any other industry
and to stream on par with the rest of business is based on misconception. In
democracy there should be as much variety as there are political ideologies.

1. What is the role of free press in a democratic country ?
2. What is the inherent right of the press in any civilized society ?
3. What is the sacred duty that the press generally assumes ?
4. What can be the outcome of an attempt to regulate or stifle the freedom of press ?
5. Give a suitable title to the passage.
