This is one of the most debatable topic …no doubt media has lost the way ..media is not highlighting the plight of poor and downtrodden sections of society. They are too busy to follow the weddings of cine stars. They always highlight the rosy pictures of the society…but let us ponder on one issue..is media solely responsible for this situation?...in my opinion this is not the case. We are also equally responsible for this..we are also more interested in knowing about the Kareena Kapoor’s dress, Shahrukh forthcoming films, Dhoni haircut style, and many such less important issues. Majority of us is not ready to take pain in knowing about the schemes of government. Very few are interested in knowing about the economic policies.
Media is just highlighting those issues which suit the mood of majority of public. So how we can say that media is not discharging their duties properly?
In a democratic country, everyone is allowed to express his/her views on any topic. Their comes the role of media. Media should highlight the important issues without being bias. We also must cooperate with the media and most importantly we have to change our attitude.
Hope that every one understands their specific duties. But after knowing the current situation, I am sure enough that it will take some time when media starts taking interest in more important issues and citizens also cooperating with them………..
