Abstract :
Today we live in a society in which spurious realities are manufactured by the media, by governments, by big corporations, by religious groups, political groups. The level of intelligence has been tremendously increased, because people are thinking and communicating in terms of screens, and not in lettered books. Much of the real action is taking place in what is called cyberspace. People have learned how to boot up, activate, and transmit their ains. Essentially, there’s a universe inside the human ain. The number of connections possible inside the human ain is limitless. And as people have learned to have more managerial and direct creative access to their ains, they have also developed matrices or networks of people that communicate electronically. There are direct ain/computer link–ups. One can just jack himself in and pilot his ain around in cyberspace–electronic space. In the ongoing century, media has proved itself to be a most powerful wing ever before. Covering the most heinous Nirbhaya rape case of Delhi to the plight of Dana Majhi of Bhawanipatna has even sacked the Central and the concerned state government. Media has played a prominent role in exposing the human rights violation by police atrocity. Virtue and vice in the society are just like the two sides of the same coin. More focus on the positive sides may dispel negativity from the society. A responsible media in order to keep intact the glory of the ‘Fourth Estate,’ in stricto sensu, is always expected to act in honest reporting of the things in the social, national and global interest and refrain from doing its duty for the sake of doing it like the recent ‘intolerant’ issue to the travesty of freedom of speech and expression.
