MEDIA NEEDS TO 'RETAIN' ITS BACKBONE

In today's era, when people are asked to put a definition as to what media is, it is disheartening  that majority of the time media is associated with corruption or puppetry for high authority like government,which should not be the case, because media is a pillar on its own, which years back was the epitome of social service towards the mass. In as much as not all media may be corrupt, it is inevitable to not get fingers pointed even towards media which still has its backbone firm towards what is right and wrong. Media is supposed to be a watch dog over the people, thus what happens if as a watch dog they prove disloyal? People will not relay their trust to them. Media must not be afraid of high authority, because if they dread putting up the truth for the peoples good just because of fear that authority are not in favor, who will be the peoples eyes? 'A watch dog must not get watched over' should be  each and every medias motto, because as media personnel, we watch over the people in ways which no other can do. Media must retain its rightful name, which is that of being a social server to the people. If we go by who we consider high authority, then what will be portrayed  towards the people. Media should not be like actors and go by a script with dialogue that the high authority want us to disseminate, because media is not acting, its reality. Its absurd to think that media needs a script. Media should not go in favor of who wants to make it a puppet all in the name of getting 'Fed' like what some media houses do. They portray a flawless news in favor of authority all in fear, but fearless is what media should be known for.

 It is better to starve with the truth, than be fully fed on lies.

Media should not always want whole bread which has been buttered, so as just to get privilege. It is better to be known for loyal crumbs than disloyal earned whole bread. It is better to have a backbone that is not famous, than to have fame for being a tail.
