Future of Journalism
                                         *G.N. Ray
I am happy to join this august gathering on the occasion of
the release of Golden Jubilee Souvenir of ‘Jan Morcha’ and
address the conference on the subject which is most relevant today
in its true spirit and  form i.e., ‘Future of Journalism’. Journalism
today is passing through a phase which can lead it to great heights
or mar the  spirit of the mission. I would not like to call it
profession.

THE ROLE OF THE MEDIA IN DEVELOPING COUNTRIES: the case of media coverage of PMTCT in South Africa

ROCHELLE DAVIDSON

INTRODUCTION
According to the United Nations Development Report (2002) progression in the achievement of gender equity and empowerment for women and girls is the third Millennium Development Goal. The report states, “Worse outcomes for women in many aspects of human development result from the fact that their voices have less impact than men’s in the decisions that shape their lives” (23). In particular, the situation of HIV/AIDS the “voiceless” position of women is an actuality that contributes to the risk and vulnerability of women and girls in Sub-Saharan Africa, with approximately 75% of all HIV-positive women worldwide living in this region (UNAIDS, 2004). With poor women being a high-risk group for HIV infection, PMTCT involves many social issues surrounding gender and poverty that create a very complex story. Past coverage of PMTCT issues has been focused on political controversy, making for sensational and one-dimensional stories, often ignoring the voices of those directly affected.

What is the meaning and origin of ‘hot on the heels of'?


What is the meaning and origin of ‘hot on the heels of'?

(A. Venkata Rao, Visakapatnam)
When you are pursuing someone and you are hot on his heels, it means that you are very close to the individual. Chances are you will catch him or overtake him soon. Other expressions which have the same meaning are ‘hard on the heels' and ‘in hot pursuit'.
*The young detective was hot on the heels of the thief.
According to scholars, the word ‘hot' has been used in the expression to suggest that the pursuer is on track; in other words, he is not lost, and the trail has not gone cold. He is so close to his prey that he is able to feel the ‘heat' generated by the animal/individual.

What is the difference between ‘in camera' and ‘on camera'?


What is the difference between ‘in camera' and ‘on camera'?
(L. Anuradha, Pune)
The expression ‘on camera' is mostly used in the world of television and films. When someone says that you are ‘on camera', it means that the cameraman has you in his sights; his camera is focussed on you. When you are no longer a part of what is being filmed or ‘shot', you are said to be ‘off camera'.
*The DIG didn't realise he was on camera when he made those comments.
‘In camera' literally means ‘in the room'. When you hold a meeting ‘in camera', it is held in a room; it is a private or a secret meeting. When a judge says he would like to meet the two lawyers ‘in chambers', he wants to meet them ‘in camera'.
*If it is a matter of national security, the trial will take place in camera.
