With Media Publishing and Telecasting Trivia, Censorship is the Need of the Hour

Well my dear friends It is a burning question that the increasing power of media in India is leading towards the need of censorship or not. I believe they need not be censored. Media has a great importance in a huge democracy like India. Media is the only reason why 2g scams, cwg scams, and all different kind of scams are coming out.

Media is the only reason why now each and every Indian knows about the switzbank money story. Powerful peoples like Sanjay Dutt, Subrata Roy are in jail because of media only. It is true some time for TRP media shows us some un imp things or some time the show a very normal thing in a different way, but before their contribution these are minor. To run our govt in the right path media's contribution is most, so for no reason we should tie up the feet of media.

Media has a great impact on our share of mind. It motivates and influence our thoughts and actions. It has much potential to instill evil and bad behaviour as it has to teach humanity and good thoughts. Hence, censorship becomes necessary in today's era. Though our constitution guarantees freedom of speech, it also put restrictions on certain contents to protect unity, integrity and national harmony.

Few examples of censorship are the ban in Salman Rushdie's book "The Satanic Verses", the transsexual movie "Gulabi Aaina". And I believe that this censorship is required given the sensitive society of various communities and religion in which we live.

Hi friends,

I'm Ananya, as per my point of view censorship is very important in media. First of all media is introduced only to convey or deliver good news and also some entertained things like dance, serial, music, etc. But what about our current situation in this media? It is totally like drainage, which is caused by unwanted bad things. So automatically we will effect by disease. We should clean this by using censorship. Now a days this kind of bad things leads to many crime. The movie created now is mainly based on wrong activities this influence the people to do the same.

So my request is there should be a censorship.

First of all we should know that what is right and what is wrong. Media is of very important status in world, it fills up the motto of "let the truth prevails". We know that with the help of the media we are able to know what is happening around us in this world. About the science, politics, sports, medicine, economy. We know the early warnings about any disasters. It helps to improve our knowledge. But some peoples are making wrong use of the media for their own benefit, for those only censorship is the need.

Firstly, censorship is required to censor those parts of telecasting media which can result in the bad consequences. Secondly, censorship makes each people aware about the telecast of false items through news, internet etc. Thirdly, steps should be taken to stop children to enter the cinema halls only under one condition that management of censorship is capable enough to take these steps.

Media should act as a communicating channel to transmit information which should be truth. Not the information which is beneficial for a particular forum/channel. Their job is to aware people to know about what is happening in the world, but nowadays it is distracting from its job. Ya, in some manner media is performing their well. But others are just making money.

Media is of great flexibility it bends the way we like to bend it, so personal discretion should be brought to action. The viewer must be in a way to sort right from wrong, even today's media is trying to lure people from the truth of various issues. Even new york times long back accepted to publicizing and speculating wrong information among people.

Like two sides of a coin everything has its own advantages and disadvantages. Media in today's world does everything it can to improve its popularity, it is looking at an issue with an idea of making money rather than depicting what really has happened. Sensationalism is something that must be checked quickly, media is trying to create unwanted attention to some of the current issues. But still a world without media will be like living in the dark. I would seriously recommend not to have a bad opinion about media because except a few a lot of media individuals are dealing with issues with great sensitivity.

Media can give us more benefits like it can us more knowledge about politics, and what is happening in the country and world, about new technology innovations. But today's media has forgotten its role. Its only works for own trp. Its always concentrate on celebrities affairs, their personal matters. Today media make big issue from small news like last year news (in 2012 world should have end).

I think media is special tool is creating massive awareness regarding certain incident. It can help many poor people get a helping hand if their story is presented in newspaper and it happens. Media can help in curbing social evils existing in our society but political issues are also important. When it comes to reporting about political issues media has its limit. Sometimes under pressure only half truth is shown due to which people do not got to know real truth of ongoing politics whether negative or positive.


Media persons can carry out sting operation on certain people to know their real face take example of Indian player sreesanth. Sometimes media person get so desperate to cover certain news that they don't think about the family of accused person even if his/her involvement in crime has not been proved and try to get details about family when family is not the one who has committed that crime. That is also true media do not give importance to news that is a real news but to some stupid event and keep on displaying it and at certain point you will see that news being flashed as headlines in all new channels. So really censorship is important for media.
