World is fond of such slogans
as are chanted by the owners of the media tycoons. Freedom of press, right to
say and so on is the favorite phrases of electronic and pres media. It is not a
bad thing to have freedom of speech but there are some heinous features of this
freedom. The media has become the most obnoxious blackmailer. Everywhere in the
world we see and we find that the media personnel are enjoying amenities of
life. They are richer than the mill owners and enjoy the privilege of VIP. It is
not due to their integrity and honesty but due to their fear.
The reporters and correspondents of more than 80 % of electronic and print media
are habitual blackmailers. They are in search of weaknesses of the people in the
helm of affairs and responsible administrators. Man is to err but media is to
blur. Media is free and independent almost everywhere in the world. This freedom
is often exploited. The media does not take care of national values and
international norms but prefer income. The overt interests are misusing media
everywhere. The world powers and intelligence agencies are using media as a
propaganda tool.
There are evidences that journalists work as spies and intrude into the internal
affairs of states. There are many merits of freedom of press but its demerits
are the most. A responsible and up to the mark media as regards the moral values
and code of conduct is in fact the real media. The freedom must be used for
aiding the poor and downtrodden not for propagation of the interests of the
rich. Freedom of press in necessary but press and press men should not sell
their conscience for the sake of few pennies.
Such mediocre journalists put their homeland at stakes and earn dishonest money.
There should be strict compliance of the code of ethics and national values of
the states and people where the media man is working.
