Definition:
A person or media entity that misleadingly tailors news to fit a particular partisan,
financial or business agenda.
Blend of press + prostitute. The comparison comes from the notion that they sell
themselves for money.
IDEAL ROLE OF MEDIA AND PRESS
• To convey unadulterated news to the public.
• To bridge a connection between common masses and the incidents going on all
over the world.
• Bring attention of government to the public demands.
• Never give one’s own opinion on any incident.
• Act as a source of cultural exchange for people living in different parts of the
country.
• Criticize the government in a unbiased way and strengthen the concept of a true
democracy.
WHAT OUR MEDIA ACTUALLY DOES?
For eg. There are 5 person A,B,C,D,E conveying a news. A=Eye witness ; E=reporter.
A→B: I saw him rebuking his servant as he came late everyday.
B→C: I saw him thrashing his servant as he came late.
C→D:I saw him thrashing his servant who I think is a muslim.
D→E: I saw him beating his muslim servant as he demanded a hike in salary.
E reporting: A muslim man was severly beaten by his hindu landlord, while the police and
authorities have nothing to say about the matter. Are minority groups safe in our
country?
In this way ‘Yellow Journalism’ has taken over media and the press.
Yellow journalism, or the yellow press, is a type of journalism that presents little or no
legitimate well-researched news and instead uses eye-catching headlines to sell more
news.
WHY MEDIA HAS BECOME BIASED?
• Media is a great tool of reaching out to common people throughout the
country with the help of Television and Newspaper.
• This tool is used as a weapon by people in power.
• Growing competition in news channel industry leads to methods of attracting
attention.
• Reporters facing lack of real stories to work on.
• TRP has become a revenue source from advertisement agencies.
• In a democratic government has very little control over authenticity of the news
shown to public.
OUR RESPONSIBILITY
• Be alert
• Stop accepting the statement :”Seeing is believing”.
• Verify facts that we see and use logic to justify them.
• Question whatever one find unjust.
• Never trust an information from one source , always cross check it.
• Prevent rumour from spreading like wildfire.
• Last but not the least is be truthful.
