People nowadays are of the opinion that
news
 programs and
media
 have influenced individual life in not a positive manner while others are optimistic about their content. I think
news
 outlets should not to biased and show the whole truth of the public. On one hand, it is due to social
media
 and tv that we are aware of the advancement in science and technology and
also
 are aware of the new policy and laws the government are trying to introduce. Recently, Indian lawmakers have come up with schemes in which International companies can set up a Semiconductor Factory in India to compete with other parts of the world and become a major player in it. With help of
this
 , the
news
 public should focus on areas that will help them near future.
Also
, we can get real-time content related to the stock market and be in sync with the current trends.
On the other hand
,
media
 outlets whose primary focus is to get high TRP and grow their revenue, tend to stream
news
that is
 demanded without verifying them.
This
 can lead to the flow of false information in the general public and creates panic among various other things.
For example
, recently a
media
 house telecasted
news
 about a lockdown taking place in some parts of the world, which was not proof checked beforehand and
this
 lead to fear among some people.Later it was found that
this
news
 was not true and they just created it to get more TRP.
Also
,
media
 houses focus on celebrities daily life and routine which may not be useful to some people. To conclude,
media
 programs do provide useful
news
 and data, but they should
also
 be held responsible for the spread of wrong
news
 and content.
