Should media be held responsible and accountable for its deeds?

Question

In India, the media has become careless as well mediocre. I think that fourth state is not performing its job responsibly. Otherwise, how can it vilify a person one day and the very next day exonerating him. The cas in point is Mr. Arunachalam who was labelled a traitor / mole in PMO and the very next day exponerated after clarification from Ex- Forgien Minister but without any apology.

I would like a reply from someone who is a part of media fertainity.

am still amazed at the day

Answer 1

of course, the media should be held responsible as it is they who prompt the public to believe what they do not know. they are the source of information to the public and if they are corrupt the mindset of public will become corrupt too. the accountability of media will ensure that they do not behave irresponsibly especially in a country like india where public awareness is at the least point.

The whole point of the media is to make others who make decisions accountable for their own actions. If the media doesn't act in the same mattter how can they be taken seriously?
