The reason being that this is THE AGE OF INFORMATION

11. Roles of press / media
Media is considered as "mirror" of the modern society.
In the world of today, media as necessary as food and clothing. The
newspapers can play a very vital role in the reconstruction and
regeneration of a nation by highlighting and pin-pointing the social,
economic and moral evils in the society. Can be helpful in eradicating
these evils from the society. They can also start propaganda against the
economic evils like short-weights and measures, smuggling. Black-
marketing income tax evasion hoarding corruption and bribery. THUS the
newspapers can help greatly in the nation- building activities.
Newspapers provide some material for every type of interest. They give
us stories, the crossword puzzles, the post page, the expert's comments
on certain affairs of national and international importance.

12. Roles of press / media Cont.…
• The media helps to bring out the hidden talents of the people. The
children learn many good things through media.
• By reading newspaper, the children learn many things, their reading
habit increases and their vocabulary enhances by learning new words.
Their knowledge increases by watching geographical channel, quiz

Through bogging in the internet and writing letters to the editor in
newspapers, many people give voice about their opinion in different

13. During the past few decades media has evolved from being a piece of
paper to an industry that can, at it’s best, can topple governments, make
a superstar out of someone, or, spread some good useful information
among people, make them aware of their surroundings, know their or
other people’s rights!
Media has a constructive role to play for the society. Today News
Channels and even some Newspapers are mouthpiece of some social
issues, which helps us to estimate the realities of lives. It is the fact that
in most of the eras, media were not being given free and fair chances to
explore the issues of society more openly than it is being given now; but
we can't deny this fact that the issues were always raised in order to
provide justice to the people.

14. The role of media in education and health sector is far more
important Learning, nowadays, is not limited anymore in terms of
space, time, and medium as the use of media, especially internet,
has contributed a lot towards education than its role in the election
campaigns. It's the job of the media to show the true picture of the
society.
Media is the most powerful tool of communication. It helps
promoting the right things on right time. It gives a real exposure to
the mass audience about what is right or wrong. Even though media
is linked with blaming fake news every time on terrorist attacks by
saying directly Muslim fundamentalist hand in attack without
properly investigating but on the safe side, it helps a lot to inform us
about the realities as well.

• Journalists, as well as Media should be committed and self
dependable. They should express social responsibilities that
would invariably sustain the growth of micro ethno system in
the nation, aid the political terrain, and eliminate friction in
human relationships and other sectors of the country. As the
watch dog of society, they are responsible to the people and
can also help in the elimination of social vices confronting
humanity and National Integrity.
