3. ABOUT
MEDIA
WHAT IS IT?
Media is one of the quixotic platforms in
the world for the humans to be
expressive. Expressive doesn't imply
someone to be emotional, it entails one's
opinions and views.
In a democratic country like India, Media
plays a very important role in not only
making sure that people receive
unfeigned news regardless of the domain
but also enables a two-way
communication between the people and
the government.
