Freedom of press has its merits and demerits.
As in the case of judiciary issue press played a positive role by telling people importance of independent judiciary and pressurizing the political leadership to respect the popular opinion.
But in case of terrorism role is mostly negative as media went after sensationalism and did not checked credibility of information (video of swati girl).
So there must be a censorship that can maintain a check and balance.
Not, ofcourse, by the government but some body or committee of civil society can do this job.
Moreover there must be some qualification that makes you eligible to be a tv anchorperson.
Immature boyish attitude should be discouraged by the masses.
