Urge To Media-Electronic one in particular.
We all know that media has wielded immense power so much so that it can make or destroy. Media has become so powerful that it has made almost everyone slave to it. We have become addicted to it. Our days start with print media and end at night with switching off TV. Electronic media has become so powerful that it can bring the son on the earth, it can make zero a hero, and within seconds, a hero to zero. The trend is that media is more interested in making a hero to zero. Both things i.e. making a hero from zero and vice versa are bad. My personal opinion is that media cannot create a hero out of zero and a zero out of hero. It can simply make us to believe so as we have lost our intrinsic capabilities to think over what we see and hear as we have become slave to media. It has really made us addicted. We can try and try to get rid of addition to the stuff media presents, we would urge media to change direction even a little bit not only for betterment of the society at large but for the betterment of media itself. It does mean that all sections of media is moving in wrong direction with the same velocity. Even to day print media appears to be more responsible than the electronic media.
I read one English and other Hindi Newspaper. The Hindi Newspaper is Dainik Jagran. On comparison of the contents, I observe that from time to time, Dainik Jagran bring story of the individuals, who lend their personal resources for the betterment of the society. I derive goodness from such individuals and ponder to do something for the society in a similar manner.
We know that there are good as well as bad people in the society. Both good happenings and bad ones are taking place daily. We should therefore urge the powerful media to present stories of such individuals so that the people in general and children and youth in particular derive impetus from these stories.
