paragraph on declining standard of press and media
Answers
Answer:
remarkable how media can explore the harmful effects of everything except themselves. In the past week, you will perhaps have watched a number of television programmes, listened to various radio discussions and read several newspaper articles examining the alleged health risks posed by mobile phones. But when the danger comes from the media themselves, the energies of the industry circle to safeguard its own interests from criticism or attack, leaving the public interest unprotected.
All the time now, but with what has seemed a noticeable acceleration in recent months and weeks, the quality of human life is undermined by the breaking of new frontiers in intrusiveness, irresponsibility and voyeurism by the media - witness Haughey, Harrington, Dallaglio, RhysJones, et al. If such things occurred as the result of the activities of any other public institution, media people would be blowing whistles fit to burst.
It is customary among journalists - mindful of the watchfulness of their employers - to pretend that talk of declining media standards is exaggerated. But it is not possible to exaggerate. Even the most basic levels of human decency are no longer available to many of those who today come under scrutiny from the media. Even rudimentary scruples about checking facts and information are now, in certain areas, defunct. Media are increasingly about the exploitation of grief and grievance. Not only is it now permissible to intrude on the private lives of people who have done nothing to deserve this, but it is enough, it seems, that one party in a personal dispute has said something for this to be worthy of publication. In other areas - politics, business, etc - it is customary to delay publication of information until (a) it has been checked and verified and (b) other involved parties have been asked for their side of the story.
