Media and Covid - 19
Explanation:
The world has been dealt a severe blow due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Many economic activities, education and sports have been under shutdown due to the strict quarantine measures taken by the governments of various countries. Media is having a busy day reporting the numbers of the affected globally. They are also taking their role seriously in creating awareness about the disease among the public. The Do's and Don'ts are flashed on various media to educate the public and help control the spread of disease as much as possible. However, when a celebrity is affected, be it in sports or movie industry, the media makes the most out of the situation by reporting it repeatedly. In one way, it will teach people that no one is spared; in other way, it looks like only the lives of celebrities matter. So media has to find a balance.
