"Role of the Media"

Once, media (radio/print) were meant for informing the people about happenings across the national and international. During the time of the freedom struggle, this medium was best utilised by the freedom fighters to spread their messages among the mass, and attract as much crowd as possible to take part in the great effort they were doing to get the country free from the British Ruling. This medium was created with the great intention, and it was to inform the public with the Information about recent and important events happening across the world around.

But, today the news channels and the newspapers are all meant for the profit making and revenue generating means for all the personnel's involved in the business. It has just become a mere profit making business. They just don't care of the people being affected by the wrong interpretation by them.

Few months ago, there were the case of Arushi's murder, and our so-called responsible media did all the effort to utilise their power of journalism to fetch the TRP by showing that all the time on the air and interpreting every lead now and then. and now, all the person who were interrogated and detained on remand by the Police and as well as by the CBI were got the clean chit from the court, because there is not a single evidence to prove them guilty. With no Evidence, this case was followed with so much propaganda spread by the media.

This is true that, we all are working hard to make money for meeting our the daily means, but there must be true and fair way to make the money. Not by humiliating somebody and showing it on the air all the time and creating the absurd news. People in media should have to understand their responsibility and must act in a respectful manner towards every citizens.

With a Hope for better tomorrow!
