Has journalism become an industry having no sanctity & professionalism as once Kuldip Nayar said?

Journalism involves perfectly neutral reporting, not selectively hiding any fact at all free from any mindset, emotion, patriotism, prejudice, bias & favouring benefit of anybody or group. Now a days, print media reporting & press conference have become idustries. Press persons gather in large numbers only where there is a big treat, presents in brief cases(filled with currency notes & costly ornaments etc along with a brief press note). They enjoy 5 -star type parties, take a lot of whisky & move out, printing few lines of the press note provided by hosts. That's why, they attend press conferences of either big industrialists or high profile ministers so that they get such hefty bribes. These things are presented so that they refrain from writing against them. Once, Maharastra state govt. of India alotted a plot of land to every journalist in Navi Mumbai(New Bombay). Most of the journalists were sent invitations in form of printed cards but now it is sent by mobile phone SMS & the hosts convey messages by their subordinates that it will have grand feast with imported heavy liquors too in Taj Mahal or Oberoi hotel etc. When there is some event of big news value, the reporters are missing but at the end everyone tries to tell that he reached first, hoodwinking public. TV correspondents too earn heavily from such open bribery.
Once in 90s Indian Hockey Federation(IHF)'s chief's election was to take place in Bhopal & an old Olympian Mohd Ghufran was nominated. K P S Gill , a Sikh so called supercop, never played hockey was nominated against him. His musclemen seized the whole city Bhopal one day before election & threatened all concerned members. At last Gill got elected unopposed b coz Ghufran withdrew his nomination under threat to his life at the last moment. In press conference, Gill spent heavily on non-veg & liquor party for journalists & golden chains too were presented to all. After treats, a journalist asked Gill , " How could you be elected unopposed against Ghufran, the hockey wizard when you never played hockey ?" Another one asked, "Have you ever played Gulli Danda even & got elected unopposed for IHF?" On this, his musclemen held those two journalists, pulled, lifted, beated heavily & threw them away mercilessly so much that a rib bone of one was broken & other one too sustained heavy injuries. Next day Gill apologised. After that episode only journalists suddenly started writing against him about his operations in Indian Punjab, killing large number of innocent Sikhs in fake encounters & he having illegal sex relations with ladies too in that old age,...etc. Before that they never reported those CORRECT things & praising him like anything giving him full credit for ending Khalistan terrorist movement. Clearly, correct news were suppressed through bribes. So, balanced reportings of events by presenting both bright & dark side of the picture "equally" is missing. Why ? Because, journalism has become an unprincipled industry. Journalists MUST NOT ACCEPT GIFTS & TREATS. Otherwise, it is corruption. Film personalities pay 5-star hotel stay bills of journalists too from their own pockets. General feeling is that most of great people are scared of journalists. One editor of Times group said that only 30 % corrupt journalists did so, not all. People believe 100 % are so ? What is correct situation ? How can this evil be eliminated ?
