In the current scenario Media has both positive and negative role. In the contemporary world media is one of the lethal weapon, she can do any thing what she want,she is the fourth pillar of state. It has very close relation with the democracy, and strengthens it to the great extent. As a matter of fact, the world has become a global village and it is the media which has made it possible, besides, both electronic and print media have been doing miracles in order to educate the masses. Apart from this, it is a matter of fact that whenever any thing is happened in the world, it is the media which presents that particular news in front of its viewers withing(typing mistake) seconds. More importantly, media plays a vital role in creating awareness and educates the masses(sentence repeated). She works for national prosperity, and keeps her eyes on for updated issues such as on economical, political, and social issues. It has seen, media, being a fourth pillar of state, reveals a lot of cases such as corruption, nepotism, violation and other many cases, even high profile politicians can not survive if they are guilty in any case before media. On the one side of coin media is playing its role astonishingly and on the other side of the coin it is playing its role antagonistically. Infact, some times media performs its role negatively, and also violate the article 19 in the name of freedom of speech in order to increase TRPs. Besides, pre-planned talk shows and breaking news are also a new trend in the media which make confusion among the institutions and masses. Aprart from this, our own culture is being doomed due to foreign culture which is being represented by our electronic media, such as Indian movies, Turkish dramas are becoming dominant on our own tradition and culture. In simple words, in current times media has a power can do anything anywhere anytime, she can make good to bad or vice versa(i didn't understand this point). Therefore, it is the need of hour to make our media good enough in order to git(get) rid off her negative role. In addition to this, media has to be patriotic and should perform its duty astonishingly.
