MEDIA - A PARALLEL JUDICIARY?
The earlier
News agencies like news paper and other
publications were the communicating
medium through which the public were informed of the daily happenings in the
State or Country at different places on
matters of public importance. Important information in all spheres of life are
passed on to the people without any additions or deletions, depicting the true
and authoritative news.
But this scenario is totally changed. The IT based
information agencies are overriding all the existing norms of communication and
are introducing their own interpretations and discussions with people of different
walks of life through TV & Videos etc.
Personal interviews like NERKUNER/POINT
BLANK/COUNTER POINT ETC are in fact creating confusions and also ill will
amongst the different sections of the society, both political and social. It is
almost running like a PARALLEL JUDICIARY trying to prove the GUILT of
person/persons or groups..
This type of overdoing by the media people is likely
to imbalance the peaceful existence of the people belonging to different
denominations both in the religious and political organisations. The principle
of the Democratic set up of Governace has to be maintained without any misinterpretations
which may lead to the distortion of the existing rules & regulations.
It is seen that most of the cases under
investigation by the JUDICIARY are also being discussed in the TV interviews
with preformed ideas and arguments to sort out the solution when the cases are
under examination by the COURT OF JUSTICE! According to my opinion such “fast forward”
actions by the Visual & printed media, must be cautioned for such videos
& publications. Unless the Government takes stern actions to prevent such unfettered
and unlimited approach to the publication of news, things may go beyond control
to a non retrievable situation.. I had earlier also commented on” Media going
beyond Limits!”
