THE ROLE OF MEDIA IN THE COUNTRY
Media which is considered as a pillar in the society has a vast role in shaping the country. It is through media that we are connected with each other. In modern times the role of media has become immense. Be it the print media or electronic media, it has the potential to reach the masses and influence the decision making process of people.
A country is termed as liberal or peaceful if the media have given a free space to operate, run and broadcast news without the influence of state powers. Media should have the powers to reproduce the news staying true to itself. There is a new type of media also emerged through social networking sites which is the voice of young masses.
But in some cases we are seeing a lot of state interventions in news channels or print media. Recent example is the Kashmir case where the media is denied to broadcast news for few days. Now there may be a thought process behind that saying some part of media are creating more tension so they have to closed down, but knowing that, those part only needed to be blocked rather than paralysing the entire media.
Some media channels also for some cheap publicity and for earning quick money trying to sell the news which are not thoroughly researched or half truth. That has to banned or should be concrete step needed by the concerning authority against them.
Whatsoever is the situation the state and media should be responsible enough to work with their ethics to make the country peaceful and happy place to live like those countries in Europe, otherwise the dream of a developed India is a far reach story .
