The reality is that media is far away from independent . How ?
Answers
Answer:
The independence of Media is curbed through the following:
a. Media is controlled by government in the form of censorship, during which government might omit some portion of scenes for larger public viewing. There have been periods in Indian history when government censored media. For example, the period of Emergency from 1975 to 1977 is considered to be the dark chapter in the history of Democratic rule in India. During Emergency, freedom of speech and expression was curtailed. Government suspended freedom of the press. Newspapers were asked to take prior approval from the government for all the material to be published. This was known as Press censorship.
b .Media is controlled by big business houses who give business to the media channels in the form of advertisements. This prevents media from reporting anything against these business giants.
c. Media also sets the agenda, at times focus extensively on a particular issue or story which they believe is interesting, and in this way they ignore some crucial issues which might demand our attention.
Explanation:
The media is not independent because of two reasons :-
- The control that the government has on the media
- The government also prevents a new item, scenes from a movie or lyrics of a song from being shared with larger media.
