The quality or commitment whenever it compromised radiates dangerous results.

 


 

It seems as if today’s media once called the fourth pillar of justice has taken a wild form and its selfless coverage has taken a back seat. This is what every Indian citizen is facing nowadays. Compromised information from the platform which is authorized or nominated to project real happenings around us and responsible for sharing it with the world. The truth is based on the facts and real data and how you perceive those facts depend on your logical thinking. But when some big media houses have the power to create and manipulate the truth, then anything or any theory can be created and that is the moment when truth becomes saleable.


No one imagined that media houses will soon become the property of few. During pandemics, if something seems to be superimposing then it is the atmosphere created by few broadcast channels in the way their controllers or sponsors want them to. Although everyone is aware of this situation, it seems as if each one of us is developing an immune system against that weird information being circulated or marketed by strategists in a very planned way. During pandemics, if something seems to be superimposing is the atmosphere created by few broadcast channels in the way their controllers or sponsors want them. Why the atmosphere of intolerance or revenge has become so prominent on Tv or mobile screens.

 

The best example is the Sushant Singh Death mystery. He was 10 films old, relatively new to the industry, and did not have a massive following on social media. Instead, his Insta gained 5 million followers after he passed.


Born: 0n 21 Jan 1986
Place of birth: Purnia
Place of death: Bandra, Mumbai on 14 June 2020


By 18, September over 90 million people had searched for Sushant Singh Rajput's death.


Three Central Agency is probing the case CBI, ED( Enforcement Directorate), NCB (National Narcotics Bureau). After the case has been given to CBI the news channel started with debates and claim to have crucial evidence on the same and have actually dedicated their hours of airtime in showing a story with different possible angles. Any content aired by News channels is regulated by News Broadcasting Standard Authority.


According to a report by Industry Body Broadcast Audience Research Council(BARC) and Market Research firm Nielsen, controversy dominated India’s news channel airtime over maximum from 25 July to 21 August 2020.


The above reports suggest that even death sometimes is saleable, with the resources and power provided.


The kind of game is being played on broadcast and social media is trending, where their standard has gone below the prescribed norms. This is clearly showing the economical crisis and social crisis that our society is facing which is getting dangerous day by day. All because of the craving for survival, hate news, funds, coverage TRP and viewership, and in this rat race, everything has a cost even the death is costly and become a bread butter for this platform.
