13. The important identity of a responsible media is playing an
unbiased role in reporting a matter without giving unnecessary
hype to attract the attention of the gullible public with the
object of making money and money only. After reporting
properly the media can educate the public to form their own
opinion in the matters of public interest. The media can
highlight the short-comings of the official machinery in its
functioning, bringing out the sufferings of the public in general.
As political parties start media for themselves and utilise it for
their own selfish ends, the role of the media is very much
narrowed. During elections ,in democracy the media is an
effective tool for getting the public opinion in its favour.
