The same spirit of ethical values reflected in theworks of Aurobindo <strong>and</strong> G<strong>and</strong>hi. They were not <strong>on</strong>ly great philosophers, but also great journalists <strong>and</strong> editors. Aurobindo, whoedited B<strong>and</strong>e Mataram <strong>and</strong> Karmayogin gave ethical <strong>and</strong> revoluti<strong>on</strong>ary dimensi<strong>on</strong>s for the career of journalism. His ideas were based<strong>on</strong> nati<strong>on</strong>alism. G<strong>and</strong>hi, who edited Young India <strong>and</strong> Harijan, inspired the then <strong>and</strong> future journalists through his articles. The paperdiscusses the philosophical <strong>and</strong> ethical dimensi<strong>on</strong>s of journalism with special reference to the c<strong>on</strong>tributi<strong>on</strong>s of Aurobindo <strong>and</strong> G<strong>and</strong>hi.Dept. of Journalism <strong>and</strong> Mass Communicati<strong>on</strong>, Periyar University, Salem
