There remains a great debate round the
corner about the level of intellectual held by the majority of the media
people. What has been over desperately portrait at the Ramnath Goenka Debate
held for honouring excellent work in journalism. The debate got into thrilling
remarks by personalities present at the functions that were from reputed
sections of media. The debate turned
round the corners and got itself into a variety of rhetoric leading to ups and
down of over burdening of statements. But the real issue goes so far not to be
discussed at the debate.
At the debate the essentiality of the
statement as far goes into a broader prospect leading to a variety of
discussions overboard. The reason of poor intellect does not mean that
media people are not the sensible people; it takes another perspect to take
into something more accountable.
Media as the fourth estate has been playing
a tremendous part in bringing forth the issues which would have otherwise
buried under the earth. Issues regarding scams, corruption, scandals are
brought into lime light through a series of investigation, hard work and
enthusiasm by journalist. This very has shook roots of politicians and
arguments have started to take shape into bigger debate of bringing the media
under accountability approach. Should media
be accountable is the burning question of the hour.
The agency of conduct and morality of the
content presented in the newspapers, television are the basic structure that
forays a variety of facts presented to us. The debate has brought into the
limelight the role played by the editors and columnist regarding their favorable
columns and their work of content placements. Editor’s pick of the front page
content has been questioned.
Whether or not the development of the country
is not front page news but the sheer famous game of cricket gets a front page
headline. Does this very fact bring in account the poor intellect of editor or
someone associated with placements of news stories. It is no doubt that both encounters
the serious concerns of the day but placed at different corners. Poverty,
health, education are definitely are at
stakes of corruption in their own way but if all such covers the newspapers we are the very furnaces of
bringing our country into serious
stocks.
Should media be accountable just because
the Prime Minister and judiciary is accountable? Government should first try
out to come clear on its parts rather than drag every bit of good institution.
It’s the judiciary which takes into time about 20 years for a judgment and
rather asks for a research from a newspaper to come clear with the truth .Since
there are black sheep in every sphere, the pressure of any other institution
would put a curb on the expression of free speech of the free press. The
totality of the fact is that society is in a constant stand of transformation
at both the level of approach. The constant urge of showcasing farmer’s suicide
stories, poverty, hunger, etc. can be to sing to some extent disheartening to
be revealed without a much proper research.
Media people are not indulged in single issue but have brought into
focus other sections of the working forums.
Environment has been brought under observation and media is not limited
to the discussion of political powers but has to cover every bit social, moral
and cultural values. The helm lot of affairs has come under the eye and still it’s
been on the constant run to protect every aspect.
Media over the years have sensibly crossed
all better roads that have led to the establishment of a better fourth estate
and it’s doing really well at present. The grown number of news channels and
programs across has too been effective in initiating a challenged environment and
media will continue to enshrine its benefit on the country and hope it remains
under good journalism. Let morality and ethics become the base of the healthy
journalism and a better India.
