The theory envisages that the media is enjoying all luxuries of freedom with leaps and bounds. They have got autonomy to express themselves freely and whatever the truth is they got the prerogative to convey it as it is. However, things are not as smooth as it is purported in the theory. There are numerous stumbling blocks to a truth to reach it right place. Today the truth only gets the heat among media groups when it has the element of commercialization in it. Moreover, the politically enticed journalist, also called the Black Sheep, are deteriorating the very fabrics of true journalism. So in its practical context, i do not think that the journalism today is free of all political clouts and back door approaches. The industry is filled with the heinous mindset and is immensely controlled by power blocks in a country.
