मीडिया का सामाजिक अपराध

During the vidhan sabha and lok sabha elections of 2009 i got an opportunity to be close with electronic and print media.what i observed during this period was very shocking.I have seen the dealing between candidate and media.If candidate is fulfilling their demand of money against the space they are providing as news(not the advt) ,then only those candidate are getting space in a positive way, if they are not paying then media will publish/broadcast the news in negative way.



Many people who are not concerned with these manipulations, they believe that if any thing printed in news paper or being shown on T.V. channels is a fact/true or (yadi chhapa hai ya tv me aaya hai to sach hi hoga) and they vote for the wrong candidate ,they purchase any wrong thing because they believe in the media.looking to this it seems that the reader/viewer are Innocent and the media is a criminal,and it is a big social crime against the people,by the media.



This is not a general comment to all media groups but few was observed by myself, if other are also involve in this practice should learn about their responsibility for the common people.there should be some check on the media and its duties,otherwise mediaman will consider theirselves as a god.
