well as popularizing and criticizing
government policies.
• As media is fourth pillar of democracy it is at
par with legislative, executive and judiciary.
Understanding Media
• Media has become more accessible and powerful with new
media technologies.
• We are bombarded with various information through
various media like paper, TV channels, bill boards, ads on
television and print and digital media technolgoies etc.
which effect us directly or indirectly.
• Mass culture based on consumerism is produced by media
on demand of market, example valentine day, karwa
chauth. Means main stream media is in the service of
market.
• Several fake or manipulative information are also floated
which is hard to identify many times for us. So it is very
important to understand media and how it works.
Media Literacy
• Media literacy is not limited only to reading
newspapers, magazines, watching news and
entertainment channels, being active on
facebook, twitter, instagram, whatsapp, online
shopping and using smart media technologies
but it is much more. It also includes the ability
to access, analyze, evaluate, create and using
all forms of communication.
Media literacy and it’s need
• To understand media and governance both in a better way
• As media is getting complex and powerful day by day,
understanding media in a better way, maximizing it’s
positive effect and minimizing negative effects is only
possible through media literacy.
• Media literacy makes one critical thinker, problem solver,
personally autonomous. One can acquire social and
communicative skills better through media literacy. These
are also the skills required for active citizens who can
contribute much in good governance. It is common
observation that media literate person can use media
information in a better way and can relate with the
surroundings too.
Media literacy and good governance
• Media literacy is like a bridge of communication between good
governance and public.
• There is a correlation between media literacy and good governance.
Holistic approach of development cannot be fulfilled without good
governance and media literate citizens can demand and evaluate
good governance for the betterment of society.
• While Governance is the process of decision making and
implementing them good governance means an effective and
responsive state accountable to their citizens.
• Good governance is the outcome of the work of public sector,
private sector and civil societies.
• According to World Bank “good governance” is a necessary
precondition for development.
Characteristics of good governance
• Participation
• Rule of law
• Transparency
• Responsiveness
• Equity and Exclusiveness
• Effectiveness and Efficiency
• and Accountability
Need of good governance
• Eradicate corruption, scams, bribery,
monopoly of red tapism, social justice and
execution of public policies on ground level in
reality as well as active participation of citizen.
Media and good governance
Role of media is not limited only to
entertainment and dissemination of
information to the society but also to help
society form opinions and make sound
decisions as well as political participation in
the democracy. Media and good governance
are intertwined.
Dream of digital India and media
literacy
• In current budget, allocation for the artificial
intelligence has been doubled to fulfill the
dream of DIGITAL INDIA as e-governance is a
stepping stone for good governance. This
shows importance of digitalization to make
the governance process easily accessible to
common man. This dream is possible with the
help of media literacy which will make us
active and participative citizen of India who
will be politically and socially aware.
How the dream of digital India could
be fulfilled
• This requires capacity building within the
government and creation of general
awareness about e-governance through media
literacy among the citizens.
Types of Government Interaction in e-
governance
• G2G: Government to Government
• G2C: Government to Citizen
• G2B: Government to Business
• G2E: Government to Employee
