How are you viewing the media at this time? The role of media in today's world.
In the world of today, media has become as necessary as food and clothing. It has played a significant role in strengthening society. Media is considered a "mirror" of modern society, infect, it is the media that shapes our lives.
The purpose of the media is to inform people about current, and new affairs and to tell about the latest gossip and fashion. It tells about geographically divided people.
The role of media has become one way of trading and marketing products and prejudices. The media claimed to be governed by righteousness and equity, but greed and self-aggrandizement have poisoned its virtues.

Society is influenced by media in so many ways. It is the media for the masses that helps them to get information about a lot of things and also to form opinions and make judgments regarding various issues! It is the media that keeps people updated and informed about what is happening around them and the world. Everyone can draw something from it.
Media has had a bad effect on a generation, mainly because, youth is strongly influenced by media. Teenagers and children wish to follow the people, who get recognized and do what they do to get noticed. Sometimes, they focus on the bad part of the media and strive to be a part of it. However, many do not succumb to a life of crime!
These are the things that get into Young civilian minds!
The media affects people's perspectives. Too much intervention of media in everything is a matter of concern. Media can be considered a "watchdog" of political democracy. Through the ages, the emphasis of media on news has camouflaged. Media these days tries to eye the news, which could help them to sell the information that is gathered worldwide so that they could pave the way for the success and fame of their respective channels. FM radios, newspapers, and information found on the net and television are the mass media that serve to reduce the communication gap between the audience, viewers, and the media world. For the sake of publicity and selling, important figures, and their lifestyles are usually targeted. Unimportant and irrelevant news that usually has no importance is given priority and due to one reason or the other, they get onto the minds of the viewers in this way many times, important political, economic, and sociological news gets neglected and gradually, loses their importance!
No doubt, media has played a significant role in making the world a global village and reducing the communication gaps amongst the people living in the far areas but unfortunately, media these days has become a Commercialized Sector, eying the news which is hot and good at selling. The goal is to gain television rating points.
I believe, if the media identifies its responsibility and work sincerely and honestly, then it can serve as a great force in building the nation.
