MEDIA IS JUST A WORD THAT HAS COME TO MEAN BAD JOURNALISM.
GOODMORNING, I AM ABHIJEET FROM CLASS 12th ‘C’ HERE AGAINST THE
MOTION THAT FAIR JOURNALISM HAS BECOME EXTINCT. Indian media is considered to be the best all around the world because of its influence on a mass of 1.2billion which is the total approx population of our country. If there is a spread of misinformation from a source with less credibility it might cause great community conflicts. Still there is hope for fair journalism which is also the fourth pillar of democracy all because of media persons like Ravish Kumar’s coverage of the plight of poor migrants and threw light on the homeless workers that brought back the nation’s focus from The Sushant Singh Rajput case. There are many news channels, news publishers, journalists working day and night in the service of people in an ardent attempt to report the truth, facts and reality of the situation, journalists such as Supriya Sharma took an ordeal of reporting loss of human lives due to acute hunger because of food shortage during COVID lockdown in Varanasi which helped state the plight of people suffering there. People often have a common misconception that the media or journalists never go against the govt in stating the facts but reporter Vinod Mehta editor-in-chief strongly questioned and criticised the UP GOVT on HATHRAS RAPE AND MURDER CASE and he was able to build high pressures on govt to investigate more leading to the imprisonment of the guilty. Many brave reporters and media personalities risk their lives to reveal the true faces of government individuals executing many sting operations and analysis on political leaders for example an organization of reporters known as “The Reporters’ Collective” lead by Kumar Sambhav who did a series of investigations which they ran on state surveillance that they did on electoral bonds that allowed political parties collect money without revealing the source. All such incidents showcase that there are still practices of fair journalism by highly motivated journalist servicing people with the truth as it is suppose to be. Presently, though the Indian media is in a state of “Not speaking in the need of the hour” hope it recovers.
