Recent happenings from all over the world and  in India have been a major regular feeds for the Indian media industry. So it's quite obvious that people will form their views on the basis of what they see and hear in the news or from the media sources. Be it the murder case of Aarushi, the Nuclear deal or the recent spat of Dhoni with the selectors, Which i guess media sensationalised, so I personally feel that the broadcasters as well as the print media is taking full advantage of this and in many cases misusing these advantages. So what do you think is media misusing the rights?? What are your views on this do share them.......

Yes, Media is definately misusing its right just to gain TRP. As the fourth estate, the media is required to be socially responsible and a watchdog of the democracy, and not merely a money spinning machine. Freedom of expression, which the media swears by, also involves being accountable to the masses.

Media is not misusing its rights which is the reason we could know deeply about the high end corruptions going on in our country. Media is bringing out maximum coverage for any issue in our country that is related to public. But sometimes media fails in doing a proper coverage because they would always be interested in hot news. As soon as the hype gets lower, they pass on to next issue leaving the current issue half way. Regards, Anna George. Web Analyast. Nichepro Technologies. Bangalore. http://www.nichesuite.com

It is a mad rush for TRPs. Credibility, Accountability and Character is gone for a toss.

Hell yes! The fourth estate is very "aptly" mis-utilizing its authority. TRP race has made everything filthy and its ironical that Media assumes that people lend their ears to such bombarding of data, its wrong. That is why people can be heard everywhere dissing one or the other

media most of the times is manipulated by politicians ...it reflects what they want to convey and people unaware of actual facts are deceived. Apart from that, do poonam pandey and rakhi sawant deserve that much of publicity, i guess no but people like watching them that's why media is focusing on these vague issues..they are targeting people's mind to raise the no. of viewers

these days it's all about news analysis, breaking news amd views there is no place for news alone. one at times  misses Ms. Salma Sultan  DD style (thou Govt. sponsored) when it was all about news (thru the news reader), and audiance.

fiction or non fiction (news) sensationalize it and justify it that this is what people want. english channels r a class apart in this matter  the hindi channels r open about it and so many ways better.

At times it is yes, especially the daily serials, some of the news coverages which are painful to watch need proper content clearance especially the serials which are destroying our "HOME", traditional heritage!

According to me yes it is misusing its rights, Even in the Nuclear deal as well, the media was busy counting the votes and saying controversial things when it should have shown the positive and negative aspects of the deal and leave it on the people to decide what is right and what is wrong. Media holds great power and importance in our democracy, but what is the use of such power when it cannot use it correctly. Instead of getting into sensationalised journalism the Media must create awareness and not do case trials, as this is certainly not the job of the media. It should leave it on the judicial system. The role of the media should be transparent, unbiased, non-sensational, it should show both aspects of any news and not play with the mind of the public....

What i feel is yes Media is misusing its rights, let's take the Aarushi murder case for example, the poor girl was killed, the father was arrested, charged with murder of his own daughter, a case of lack of professionalism by the  Police. The investigating police officer literally showed the images of Aarushi and her father. This was the moment when the media must have played a transparent role and actually brought forward the lack of duty by the police. Well it did, but what I see is the Media jumping and going crazy  on Dr. Talwar, saying that he was the step father, and flashing news such as " The killer Father", and then the poor parents who were charged with the murder were let off by the police without any evidence as such, but the media just created sensationalism out of nothing, so by doing this they are misusing their rights..

Level of freedom for Media in the way they conduct themselves is a reflection of maturity of the scociety. Thanks to the media so much of corruption in the country is out in the open. Of course media may have added intention of increasing their TRP by sensationalising the news. But I think something if it is completely outrageous, will certainly will have strong reactions from public and governement will intervene to keep them in check.

No it is not misusing the rights, they are showing what they are getting as news from the officials and from other place, they are not making up anything, anything held responsible for the scandals that is shown are the officials who release those pictures  in public and try and make something out of nothing, and the media just shows whats happening, so media is not misusing its rights in any way.......

How convenient it is to blame the government.. There are flaws in government and then there were always flaws there.. now we can see them clearly because many people are coming up and giving voice to the wrong practices..
It is a wonderful concept but we need a right plan to follow it. Just an idea wont help.
Bad news really bad news . 1) We should produce our own arms . 2) More arms means more fight. 3) Only arms would not ensure security.
