Corruption in Media Industry

we all know that now a days Media is the common place  where corruption is reaching at its height whether it is Print Media or Electronic Media. The most senior and renowned name of Media house and people are playing the role of middle man between Industrialist, Corporate House, Business class,Politicians and Goverment Ministers of states as well as Central.

You can find PR agency and  Media Houses in all Metro cities, they are running into profit and the people or owners are some where related to print media or electronic media houses. Example Nira Radia case in 2G scam proved us to beleive this fact.

As the Media and Media People are  very much powerfull, so nobody asked any question to them due to Scare.They had approach in every where even Police also scared from them. But The Question is whether Corruption in Media is acceptable ?

The Media is the Sixth Pillar of Democracy where the Country stands, country speak , a common man has power to speak but again the question arised whether our Journalist, Reporter, stringer,Senior Jouranlist are serving or taking Responsibilities with honesty ?

we all know the people pay for telecasting the News and few are paying to stop the News in both case Media is benefitted. it happens specially in Elections . Channel earns in Crores during election time Top Ten Channels get the most of the Share, it is same in Print media also. Even a Reporter or Sringers of small town or city earns in Lakhs for covering news, programmes, political campaign.

Do you all think it is salary they get ? no it is the  Corruption ? They misguide the Voters, they confused the Voter, they tried to give benefit to their paid clients means the Politicians. The most popular programme they made to earn is REPORT CARD of Individuals leaders where they telecast or print the achievements and draw back of Individuals.

Some times they work in pressure of Goverment and some times pressure from Owner of Channel and some times from Big Bosses by which the Real and actual Journalism gone out from their work.Even they had been forced to complete target to earn more  and generate profit for channel.

Now you decide why is Media Corrupt ?

The war against Corruption was going on at Delhi Jantar Mantar the response of Public was excellent, the place was fully occupied but the Role of Media was in Questionable becoz in starting of three days they made a negative stories on this movement and pubic support, they had not telecasted 24 hour on all days of Ansan live from the Jantar Mantar.

Why it so ? Pressure or Payment ?

But last year when this media had played a responsible role in this movement the entire country was envolved in this movement. first time this type of Revolution was going on this Country after J.P.Movement it is telecasted 24 hours in all channels although Many Political Parties had supported this movement for Janlokpal Bill for their own interest. The diffrence of Media role can be understandable for a lay man also, if we compare with this year coverage done by media.

Even when Anna Team decided to make a Political party this media made a negative stories,take a negative reaction and opinions of supporters and leaders of other parties specially the congress.They made an opinion pole on Channels unfortunatly it comes positive sms from Viwers ans supporters of Anna Ji.   

The trend of Paid News has changed the Real sense of Journalism and Reporting for both print and electronic media. The Competetion between Channels for number One position is untolerable, every one is running for Exclusive News,every one tried to prove himself as number one channel, every one is running for higher earnings and profit.

These are the reasons why Corruption has started in Media Industies.

Congress spends crores of Rupees on Media to focus Rahul Ghandhi, to claim he is perfect for prime Ministerial position, not only that Media made BJP and Modi a non secular.

It is better if being a Journalist you understand your  Role and Responsibilities for the Country,Society,Religion and very important The DEMOCRACY.

Jai Hind Jai Bharat.
