There is no doubt that, media plays a key role in shaping people's perceptions. Some people believe, media houses should focus more on positive news, but others argue that, they should maintain their neutrality and report the ground level realities. I completely agree with the latter argument and put forth my views with suitable examples.

way, people will be able to make an informed decision during the election. I am not against reporting good news, but it should not be at the cost of the real concerns of the people.

For instance

accountable to its viewers and it should represent the voice of the citizen.
