He is a role model to many international personalities who achieved fame by following the peaceful methods set by him. His way of life is an example to many people in India and even today we find people following Gandhian methods in all spheres of life. Even in journalism Gandhi specifically set certain principles and objectives for journalists. Though he maintained that journalism was a by product to promote his ideology he scrupulously adhered to ethics and values in journalism. He pronounced that newspapers should serve the people and for this purpose he identified three objectives for newspapers: one of the objectives of the newspaper was to understand popular feeling and to give expression to it another was to arouse among the people certain desirable sentiments and the third was fearlessly to expose popular defects.
