media!!

Media... is definitely the widely used mode to reach public. Especially the news channels are widely being used by today's busy world to keep themselves updated of the latest info. Undoubtedly, they are not just the dump pits of information.. Every bit of info that they provide makes a remarkable impression in many tendure hearts. It indeed has a great role to play in paving the way for a brighter India. If not just used as a commercial mode, it can make wonders.
But how far are they presenting the facts and figures? How much of the information that you see is free of exaggeration? Just give them a thread and they will knit a beautiful net out of it.. competing with each other as to whose net is more appealing..In their mad race to become more popular, they are distorting the total communication.. who will take the ownership of the damage that they create with their "commercialized form" of information? When will ppl get to hear the factual info and not the grape wine?? If the sponsorers for the ads cease to do so atleast during the time of the news, will the situation be any better?

well there are 2 kinds of distortions.. one is disinformation, as in failing to report a truth conveniently, and misinformation, just reporting ribbish.. Both are sins.. one is the sin by omission and the other by comission..
recent upstarts that have come into the arena, concentrated with ideals pure and potent enough to withstand the distortive dissolution that the media industry is becoming are taking on the role you are demanding.
the IITs and some spiritual institutions like Amrita school of jouralism and sri sri instt of management studies are spearheading the media cleansing revolution..
