Media fever!


Recently, pungent repercussion of government against media has bemused me enormously whether we are undergoing a democratic tenure or something else. Free flow of information is the supposition of democracy and good governance. Media is the mirror for government to point out the facts for taking necessary measures to offset the problem promptly that facilitates to keep its popularity intact. But the government is approaching media as a competitor rather than as a collaborator. This type of unfavourable tussle between media and government is apprehending us a lot to come up with the competitive world. We expect media should be run independently for which it is committed to society and it is wise enough to accept media as a boon rather than a bane for every government across the globe.
