The regional media in India has never been more obedient to corporate and political forces as it is today. Freedom of journalists to objectively report is ceasing to exist, with governments and legal systems failing to protect or rescue them. Every day, journalists battle for autonomy, fight for their rights to speak out freely, protect media pluralism and counter the ills of monopolies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bad state of regional media in India:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Today,\nprominent Indian politicians and corporate entities are making increasingly\nunderhanded investments in news media, and the press is failing to serve as a\npotent, unbiased tool to inform public perception.<\/li>
  2.  It is also increasingly unable to provide an\narena for public debates where issues of shared interest can be represented and\ndiscussed.<\/li>
  3. Regional\nmedia and outlets in India are openly owned and controlled by political and\nbusiness conglomerates, which are using the media to undermine the relevance of\ntheir opponents with scant regard for overall national interest.<\/li>
  4. The main\ncasualty has been the ability of the citizen to find out the objective truth,\nas different media outlets divide into camps on any major issue, polarising the\nreporting and their readerships. This has become so evident that in a report to\nthe government, India\u2019s regulatory body, Telecom Regulatory Authority of India\n(TRAI), recommended legislation to empower journalists for free and fair\nexpression.<\/li>
  5. Instances\nof irresponsible reporting and sensationalisation are common these days when\ncontroversial news stories are bandied in the public domain through media\noutlets. It suggests Indian journalism, with its lack of freedom and self-regulation,\ncannot be trusted now, it is currently known for manipulation and bias.<\/li>
  6. Important\nnews are politicised to a great level for mere political gain and to score\nbrownie points against each other. The blame game of the political parties\nbecomes  the main highlight and the real\nessence of the news takes the backseat. <\/li>
  7. There is\nnever a fair discussion. One can always sense the favouritism towards one side.\n<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Indian media has become extremely politicised and it shows their irresponsibility. Media is considered the fourth estate. It should be neutral rather than taking sides. Media should not abuse its freedom and power by being biased. There should be a fair and free press. it is the biggest requirement in any democracy. Let us all pledge for a free, transparent and just media.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
