Gandhi as a Journalist
By

As
a powerful mass communicator and as a fearless journalist, Mahatma Gandhi was
unrivalled. Almost everyone knows that Mahatma Gandhi was a Political Leader,
but very few know that Gandhi was also a journalist! Yes, Gandhi was an
outstanding journalist. For 45 years, starting from 1903, he edited and
published weekly newspapers. Journalism was the factor that transformed
ordinary Gandhi into Mahatma Gandhi. Gandhi's work in the field of journalism
had a strong influence not only on every newspaper in India but also on the
entire literary world of every language in India!!!
