Media, A Boon Or A Bane
With the curtain lifting to 21st century, we all have entered a new era where information
transfer is faster than wind and even faster than speed of light. The credit goes to development in the sectors of data transmission, computers and digital processing that has made information transfer so easy and reliable. Now we can see live telecast of Iraq war, any sports around the world or any similar incident sitting at home. It does not stop here, we have internet now a days that proves equally good in terms of reliable information transfer for those in particular who are not able to spare time for the idiot box.
Now-a-days, it is difficult for anyone to remain abstained from the news around the world with media coverage entering into normal life of the people. Starting from radios, television, newspapers, magazines, not it has come to online news. The scope is so large that accessing any news, may it be on politics, sports, film industry or administration is a matter of few minutes for anyone. The media has played the important role of spreading important messages in tough times, for example -
a)It has warned people well in advance regarding any natural calamities.
b)It has proved very useful in educating people regarding Aids, Polio, Malaria and other diseases that people have a wrong notion about.
c)The administration gains a lot as it is able to spread urgent messages of criminals, wrong deeds, alerting people about them and advising steps to defend themselves. In many occasions, the media has helped a lot in finding mission people, thieves etc.
d)Another important sector is the child education, where children are taught values of life by easy means. The newspapers especially have contributed significantly towards educating people with values of science, English and more importantly general knowledge. Anyone following newspapers regularly is bound to have a good knowledge of the world as well as good English grasp.
e)History knows in how many situations, the media has proved helpful in uniting people against any ill subject or matter of concern.
The list is practically endless, however there are certain aspects where the media reaction makes it a bane for us. Due to rising competition and urge to survive in this complicated world, even the media has to adopt some unprofessional steps that are against its ethics. There are innumerable situations where media has unnecessarily hyped some silly matters just to bring it into notice while they ignore important news. Just for sake of money, publicity and sponsorships, the media often tends to make a mess of things which often brings in a bad image.
The worst prey of media creating nuisance are the growing children. They are in the learning stage and if they come across such media news, the impression created on them can be really bad. So, in some criteria media has shown sense of irresponsibility, but comparing them with the good deeds and its contribution to the development of the nation, we can firmly conclude that media has proved to be a boon to our country.
