In present scenario Media Publishing and Telecasting is at its peak.Day after day no. of news channels are increasing but never to forget everything has its pros and cons.
Lets focus on pros :

  1. We cannot deny that with media in power people are better informed and better communicated.
  2. Media also played major role during our struggle of independence.
  3. Media also helped in conviction of high profile Jessica Lal murder case .

Now the cons:

  1. Media reacted very insensitively during MUMBAI BLAST where security was compromised for footage.
  2. In recent DELHI GANG RAPE case media was more focused on publishing and telecasting statements of politicians which was irrelevant.
  3. At last but most common is media plays with emotions of victims which showed media’s callousness.

For films we have Censor Board where it is necessary to get CENTRAL BOARD OF FILM CERTIFICATION.
For TV Channels BROADCASTING AUTHORITY OF INDIA was launched on June 2011 

“Most people obtain the bulk of their information on matters of contemporary interest
from the broadcasting medium. The television is unique in a way in which intrudes
into our homes. The combination of picture and voice makes it an irresistibly
attractive medium of presentation. It has tremendous appeal and influence over
millions of people. Television is shaping the food habits, cultural values, social mores
and what not of the society in a manner no other medium has done so far….”

Unfortunately successive Governments have failed to take positive measures to encourage
and promote the growth and development of television content in India free from
Government intervention in accordance with the specific directions of the Supreme Court in
the 1995 “airwaves” case wherein the Hon’ble Court said that “the broadcasting
media should be under the control of the public as distinct from the government”. In
essence, this meant that the Government should refrain from controlling the content and
programming of radio and TV broadcasts, and an independent and autonomous
body/organization/corporation with adequate representation from the industry and public
– 3 – should oversee the functioning of the media. The goal was to create world class content and
programming by giving media the freedom and scope for enhancing their creativity

It is always said that THINK BEFORE YOU ACT which itself makes us mobile censors.So I would like to conclude by saying that TRANSPARENCY IS NECESSARY IN OUR SOCIETY BUT NOT AT THE COST OF SECURITY AND EMOTIONS OF PEOPLE.

    In my point of view media is playing very imp role in order to emphasis issues of the society which some how are unable to get that much amount of importance which they really want ….so i think media is having some important role to improvise the society and the life style of the people….

    I dont think too much check on Media Check is necessary until it has really is a threat to any persons
    integrity .As anything if has Pros then has Cons as well.So it is good we focus on the good aspects and use the mediums as appreciable Citizens….Then all the problems would solve…

    in my point of view broadcasting is necessary for us and we have to know about what’s going on in the world or what’s happened in every moment in the world.Media is played major role in our daily life to give us very good information.

    Pros of media are:
    1) For the globalization media plays a vital role.
    2) For business perposes it is very vital to know the current scenario of the other companies.
    3) Student gets benefits for Educational purposes.
    3) Knowing the governtment activities is a right for every citizen of a perticular country. Media is a great source of that.
    besides of this advantages we can not ignore the problems we are facing today for media
    1) for business purposes they only highlight some informations which may be interesting for the public.
    2) media sometime add some wrong informations to make the news more attractive.
    3) the media is a vital reason for following any organizations or a perticular products blindly.

  9. Arka Sarkar says:

    Now a days media telecasting is the part of our daily life.so, i don’t think that media should under some regulation which prevents them from telecasting real news to us.its our responsibility that what we watch and not censored the actual matters.its the responsibility of the parents to control there childrens to not to watch those news which is not for them.after all remote control is in our hand so any time we can swich it off.

  10. Kunal Chowdhury says:

    Actually i think that media plays an important role in the field of communication. We can get up to date information through media.Media is a medium through which we can aware of some good or bad important newses.media had given a vital role through the time of independense….
    but it’s true that media will also play with the emotion of normal peoples. in mumbai bomb blast, Media can promote confidence or cause despondency in a country . in delhi gang rape ,,when lady was died then friend of that lady will come in front of television,,and media will create some spicy news with that..so that is unexpected from new generation ambassador…

  11. debojyoti ghosh says:

    everything has some advantages and disadvantages.some times we use the disadvantages like television.Television gives us important news as well as some news which are not good or harmful to any one. Media sometimes plays a role in our life some time they make a news which actually does not happen to make spicy news.

  12. Tapas Halder says:

    According my point of view media plays a very importent role in the world.By thr media we get the information which happening in present.But Now a days the scenario is exaggrated by the media.

  13. vikash kumar says:

    Freedom of artists is imegine or creation of new world.There should be freedom on the imagination of artists but limitation on their execution. Artists should not make art out of bothering people, hurting their sentiments, stirring up nuisance. I believe freedom of expression is only valid when you are not hurting anybody feelings.

  14. vikash kumar says:

    The government should allow certain rules regarding families , having more than 2 or 3 children.
    The people also should get aware of the birth control measures.
    Television, radio, newspaper,or advertisements etc can be the best source to spread awareness among the people.
    Hence, there should be the rising voices and helping hands from all over to eradicate this issue as over population is the main hindrance in the development of a developing country like India because government has to spend more and more money in giving subsidies at the underdeveloped areas.
    Thank you.

    Whereas manufacturing companies needs small but highly trained manpower, skilled labour, expensive machinaries, huge infrastructure. So, this requires huge amount of investment. Having poor infrastructure has discouraged foreign manufacturers from investing in India. It has been calculated that we need $1 trillion to completely develop our entire infrastructure. Hence there’s a lot of work to be done and people need to be skilled and innovative

  17. vikash kumar says:

    India is rich in natural resources and manpower. So, the only problem of India being the leading country in manufacturing is its lack of infrastructure and the non-cooperation of the government and everyone here wants to make money in quick succession. Because we don’t adopt easily with new things & changes. Just like others. Here there is less attention given to inventions in manufacturing. A BPO or an IT company merely needs a few computers, few small rooms and huge amount of manpower, not necessarily has to be trained. They could be trained in a month.

    The same pattern can be seen in the development of society especially human beings.
    Earlier, there were Europeans who had conquered almost the whole world and now, its USA who is ruling, sets an example of uni-polar world.
    There was a time when there was no sunset for Europeans.
    All this was possible because of the tremendous powers they possessed and made the right use of that power.
    If you put your efforts in right direction then, there is no one in this world who can beat you.

    media and live telecasting is the most useful and important things in our life. for these media we are able to know the details that what is occour in that place. so by the media police department,crime department are know the details. in our view the media is looks loke a mirror,because they can present an event clearly.
    many time media can’t give the genuine or truthful news,sometimes they gives us wrong news . but by the live telecasting they time to time give our information of the event.

  21. Sushmita Karmakar says:

    Yes according to my point of view obviously media is a bright way of transmit information.we can not be informed about the differnt things happening in the different corners of our universe or beyond that.media is the only way of getting news.we can not tell that media is not a way of communication.but media is damaging our country’s image oflet.just for getting publicity they are publishing the wrong news.our government should restrict some norms which should be followed by media.people will find the way of thinking in a good way.

  22. Anup Mondal says:

    By the media, people aware of present condition of our world.Due to the media geneal people know about various news.The media have some bad affect like, its shows the small things to the very large thigs.Political issues, movies news, gossip, sports news etc k nown by the media.

  23. soumya das says:

    I believe that news channels have a important roll for the socity. but now a days the sceen is different.
    The broadcasted news is different from the original news. The news organizations have turned into a business organizations.
    The are being paid for some fake news from a specific group of people. So this is not we want . what we we want is the clear news,
    true news from media which is our most important social service. So if there would be some sensor over these i9ssues so we might
    control this problems.

  24. TANMOY MITRA says:

    media is actually doing the right think,we all have to know what is happing nd what is going on.cause medai is the actual voice of people they protest againest the bad manner.but tele custing this may he effect the childes mind.so the gardian take the responcebilaty to take away from them.

  25. Shivendra Srivastawa says:

    media is playing a very important role in information and broadcasting world. The show these channels are telecasting are gainig very high TRP and because of that every TV network are launching a channel for media as it seems to be a excellent money making field. For this reason media is only telecasting those thing which the common want to watch and increase the TRP. According to me government should pass a law o limit the area of media as to mak the news more truthful and not more interesting.
