Media plays an important and constructive role in the society. They help us to know current affairs on the spot. They put their lives in danger during a terrorist attack or a natural disaster, just to inform us about it. It is partly because of the media that there is awareness spreading in the Society. That is how many Countries are able to contribute to the affected areas. Who are the people who tell us about corruption? Who are the people who tell us about the crimes? It is the media that does it.

Today some news channels and even some newspapers have become the mouthpiece of some Political parties and political leaders. Their work then limits the media only to spread the ideology of the particular party they represent rather than giving the correct news. People have to judge on their own by surfing different channels for the same news and then arrive at a conclusion. Now a day’s some television channels and newspapers are making fast money by cashing on the news in wrong sense and wrong way. In the race to become more popular and to make more money they have broken all the ethics media must follow while serving to build a healthy and progressive society. They have no respect for the sentiments and ethics of the people and the land whom they serve to. They just make a judgment like a true dictator with their immense power to influence the people rather than give a good advice as a true friend which they previously used to do. We people have to think about the role of media in our life if this type of attitude continues in future.

Media played a key role during the Freedom movement of India. Media helped immensely to make the people aware and spread  the significance of freedom. Recently Anna Hazare is the face of India’s fight against corruption. Media made this 72 years young boy hero in one day by promoting him as extensively as they can in the channels and  news papers. Other incident is that during Japan’s earth quake and tsunami media across the globe had played a vital role and made sure that many organizations and individuals provided relief and emergency services  extensively to the victims.

Folks please post your thoughts about Media role and its Significance as well.
