Without the active support of revolutionary journalists, any social revolution is doomed to failure. Most of the world's greatest revolutionaries sought the support for their ideals through journalism: Karl Marx started his career as the chief editor of Rheinische Zeitung in Cologne and later worked as a correspondent for New York Tribune. Lenin was the editor of the communist newspaper Iskra. Mao was constantly involved in editing publications run by his party and wrote columns, opinion pieces and editorials during and after the Cultural Revolution.

The progress in our defence and offensive strategies has already made a huge impact at national and international levels. This is why the time has come for revolutionary journalists to be more committed in their responsibilities towards society and the nation. They need to be more objective and disseminate real facts and provide constructive analyses. They should also be adept at undermining the imperialistic propaganda spread by a capitalist global media that is penetrating Nepal. The only way to diminish the threat is by joining patriotic and nationalistic elements. As the revolution becomes more urban-centric, revolutionary journalists play a key role in clearing prejudices, exposing the crimes of reactionaries and boosting the morale of the 'people's army' and party members. The ideological struggle has been consistent throughout our movement. At present, the duty of revolutionary journalists is to play their part in taking the revolution to its logical conclusion.
