Good gesture on Women's Day, but recognition should be a year-round effort, not just a one-day event. Hope this translates into concrete policies for safer work environments and equal pay in media houses.

As someone working in media, I appreciate this. Women journalists in India often cover sensitive issues from ground zero - be it farmer protests or social injustices. Their courage is undeniable.

While the words are nice, actions speak louder. The government must ensure these journalists can work without fear or political pressure. True empowerment means protecting their freedom to report the truth.

Absolutely! From Barkha Dutt to Faye D'Souza, women have shaped Indian journalism. They bring empathy and rigor to their work. Glad to see them being honored in Telangana. 👏

A positive step. However, we must also acknowledge the many unsung women reporters in regional and vernacular media who work in tough conditions. Their contribution to local democracy is massive.
