Media:a social watchdog, or a peeping tom

👏 👏 great topic!!!!! 👏 👏

Media interfering in lives??u mean of celebrities??
Actually what i feel is most of the celebs want the media to come bhind thm inorder to gain popularity.I dont feel i need oto pont out eg's for it.

The media is very helpful in many ways.for instance u take the condition of a state.Its through the media only the govnt usually comes to know about the actuallsuffering n life of the place.

Media aslo goes at times to extremes.But they cant b blamed for tat!!!!!!
Wat is media for?????For bringing up news indeed secrets n hot stuff to the world.
Mostly wat the media says is only with proof.
U cant also erase the fact that even a lot f media reporters r nder threat bcoz tey unbiasely publish articles.

I am with the media.Celebs better should knoww howw to cope up with life.voz being a celebrity itself meens they r gonna have thousands f eyes looking and staring on thm. 😆

hmmmmmmmm..that was smthng really gr8, i really appreciate ur viewpoint...!!
i hopes many other suggestions and views also flow in this topic...by many other members...!!

i expect more n more members to present their point of view...
remarkable and valid views are most welcome...!!😊 😉

Depends on what they are showing.
Papparazzi and the gossip media is just outrageous. they post articles and things about actors without any proof of any sort. They carry hate articles towards actors, there is a new flavor every season; for ex/ bipasha. I always thought it was against the ethics of news providers, but so much for ethics!
In other cases, it helps a lot! We get news about different countries and different situations that help us become more socially aware. But nowadays, even that is fluffed according to the news-channel. There are barely any neutral newschannels or papers that give news based on evidence rather than opinions!
So, media is divided either way. Depends on what you are looking for.

When media is focused only on making money, it will anything to achieve it..So it shows which can increase its reach...

People criticize media for its going beyond certain limit..but at the same time most of them enjoy it and always want more..So if people stop buying, media will stop selling it..

do u ppl think that media is now interfering in lives of ppl, much these days...or by this it is simply helping in making the pplz aware...??

what u pplz think, support ur opinion with examples from latest media exposures...or anything...!!

PS:
if no, then do give relevant examples...!!

This is an evergreen topic😊!

Media is definetly a important to any society..the freedom given to the media in a country shows the nature of rule/governance in that part of the country!

At the same time some sects of the print and electronic media...concentrate on the private lives of the people in the news..

say for instance..the recent special reports in some channels .."IS ASH PREGNANT"... this is not a piece of news...but several times of the day..special reports on this issue.Why should a common man bother about the personal issues of Ash and Abhi...these type of news are not necessary and these donot help the society😊

However..media is doing a good job these days...the quality of the news is really good...except for some silly channels,especially the special news regarding 60 years of independence were reallly nice and informative😊

Cheers,
