    The document discusses the impact of exaggerated media reports in India. It notes that while freedom of the press is important, modern media often acts unresponsibly by publishing reports that create fear, distrust, and chaos among citizens. During the COVID-19 pandemic, some media outlets have questioned the government's effectiveness in a way that raises uncertainty. There is a lack of neutrality in media, and no accountability for exaggerated reports. The real concern is the large number of ignorant citizens who rely on biased sources for information. Finding a solution to this problem of exaggerated sources is urgent.

    Repercussions of Exaggerated Reports of Media

    Jefferson’s in his declaration said “Were it left to me to decided government without


    newspaper or newspapers without government, I would definitely prefer latter.”
    Similarly, it was echoed by former Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru “I would rather have
    completely free press, with all the dangers involved in the wrong use of that freedom than a
    suppressed or regulated press.”
    There is no doubt that the press is powerful medium of mass communication and play a vital
    role to build a viable society. The objective behind freedom of press is to make aware the
    ignorant about their surroundings. But how far these statements should be considered in
    modern media era when there is infinite medium for mass communication and what is the
    source to rely on very veracity of such report.
    Mrs. Indira Gandhi while addressing in International Press Institute Assembly quoted “How
    much liberty should press have in country like India which is battling against poverty,
    superstition, backwardness and ignorance.”
    The present scenario is that media has become a complete business show. It runs the news not
    for the ignorant citizens but for the profitable business. There are numerous examples which
    can be quoted here just to prove that these exaggerated media reports have not only led to
    chaos but also build the distrust among citizen for its own government.
    Since past few years India is fighting battle with its own citizens right from the Kanahia Lal
    case to CAA and NRC all these led to muddle the public order and morality. These all cases
    are just the reason of exaggerated media reports and they are not ready to take up the blame.
    At present not only India but whole world is fighting battle against COVID-19. There is
    lockdown situations in most of the countries. The only medium people are relying on is news
    channels, social medias, newspapers. But is this media acting responsibly? The answer is no,
    it is still interviewing and making reports which is raising questions among citizens whether
    the government is working efficiently or not. The way the report is presented is creating fear
    among citizens.
    Is this a responsible behaviour of our media? Though the freedom is guaranteed to press
    under Article 19(1) (a) of Indian constitution but it is also backed by reasonable restrictions.
    But what is the reason that no action is taken against channels telecasting such reports, social
    media announcing and trending exaggerated version of originality. The only reason one can
    come through is that these resources are backed by the support of people in power, which can
    be clearly seeing by watching debates and listening to various reports. There is no more
    concept of neutrality in media.
    The major concern is not media the concern is ignorant citizens, which is large in number and
    majority rely on these biased sources. It is need of an hour to find solution for this prima facie
    problem because in majority of cases these exaggerated sources are only the problem creator.
