Democracy is described as the government by the people, for the people or it is considered to be the rule of the people through their elected representatives. The democracy is balanced by the three pillars of Democracy namely The Executive, The Legislative and The Judiciary but now in this era Democracy is lined towards the fourth pillar that is Media.
The term Media: Fourth Pillar of Democracy is coined by Thomas Caryle.
The merit of the democratic system is that it gives freedom of expression and a space is given to each individual.
Whereas media is used to aware about various social, political and economic activities, media is like a mirror to the world which reflects the true and harsh realities of the world, as media is being trusted by everyone and people always trust actual and honest news. The media has its own opinion but they can publish it in their editorials where public can assessment it.
The main purpose of the media is to provide the accurate news to all types of views in front of people but the truth is not always shown by the media which to people suffers and at last it losses democracy. The media has been receiving number of contracts involving the shares transfer between the media and non media companies and which results to show the disguised news, this can be termed as the paid news syndrome.
India is the biggest market in the world of media and in the fourth pillar of democracy with over 82237 newspapers and more than 900 televisions news channels running all over India in different languages and these numbers are still counting day by day, now-a-days inspite of this social media platforms are also there namely Facebook, WhatsApp, Twitter and many more, mainly these are inclined towards showing the Entertainment, politics or the corporate advertisement.
The media can be considered as the two-sided weapon as An Accountable Media and An Unaccountable Media where they can lift the nation to the heights by providing a strong support and it can cause destruction to the nation.
For a democratic country to operate its system to its full potential, the participation of the public is imperative, that successively needs circulation of information to the mass or the number of people ,or this is called mass media.
