Media is a tool for mass communication that has traditionally included television, radio, magazines, newspapers, and more recently the internet. It plays a big role in society by informing and entertaining people but can also influence attitudes, behaviors, and opinions if not approached critically. Two famous cases in India, the Jessica Lal murder case and the Nirbhaya gang rape case, demonstrate how the media can have a positive impact by raising public awareness, mobilizing protests, and helping to ensure justice is delivered. While the media can educate and spread knowledge, it is important for individuals to think critically about the messages they receive and not be passively manipulated.
