MEDIA IS JUST A WORD THAT HAS COME TO MEAN BAD JOURNALISM.

GOODMORNING, I AM ABHIJEET FROM CLASS 12th ‘C’ HERE AGAINST THE

MOTION THAT FAIR JOURNALISM HAS BECOME EXTINCT.
Indian media is considered to be the best all around the world
because of its influence on a mass of 1.2billion which is the
total approx population of our country. If there is a spread of
misinformation from a source with less credibility it might
cause great community conflicts. Still there is hope for fair
journalism which is also the fourth pillar of democracy all
because of media persons like Ravish Kumar’s coverage of
the plight of poor migrants and threw light on the homeless
workers that brought back the nation’s focus from The
Sushant Singh Rajput case. There are many news channels,
news publishers, journalists working day and night in the
service of people in an ardent attempt to report the truth, facts
and reality of the situation, journalists such as Supriya Sharma
took an ordeal of reporting loss of human lives due to acute
hunger because of food shortage during COVID lockdown in
Varanasi which helped state the plight of people suffering
there. People often have a common misconception that the
media or journalists never go against the govt in stating the
facts but reporter Vinod Mehta editor-in-chief strongly
questioned and criticised the UP GOVT on HATHRAS RAPE
AND MURDER CASE and he was able to build high
pressures on govt to investigate more leading to the
imprisonment of the guilty. Many brave reporters and media
personalities risk their lives to reveal the true faces of
government individuals executing many sting operations and
analysis on political leaders for example an organization of
reporters known as “The Reporters’ Collective” lead by
Kumar Sambhav who did a series of investigations which they
ran on state surveillance that they did on electoral bonds that
allowed political parties collect money without revealing the
source. All such incidents showcase that there are still
practices of fair journalism by highly motivated journalist
servicing people with the truth as it is suppose to be.
Presently, though the Indian media is in a state of “Not
speaking in the need of the hour” hope it recovers.
