COVERAGE BY MEDIA IN DELHI ELECTION
The Delhi’s election result cleared
AAP as the decisive winner of the nation’s capital. But, how has media
performed its role in this election? That’s the question one should have a look
upon to know the actual credibility of media. Comparing with last time, this
time, media has shown great enthusiasm while covering Delhi. Thanks to
Political incidents that led media cover this election efficiently.
Also, the media was at stake and that
results in high coverage for Delhi. But just like previously, media centered on
the political personalities. Media never bothered to think issues related to
state. There are issues like proper education, poverty, Hospital issues etc,
which failed to acquire media’s attention.
Not, with television news only, but
even radio and newspapers followed same track lay down by Television. They
never bothered transcribing real issues of the state to public. Baring few news
agencies, almost every news organization were found highlighting political personalities.
Media, in this election, was only involved in image building.
During election period, you could easily gazed
party’s promotional work in the front of newspaper. Yet, if you have to point
best out of three then print has done fare well as it balanced promotional work
with newsy items. Moreover, Media even failed in clearing facts.
Media got huge thrashing recently for
its lack of correct news formation. That’s the problem it requires clear remedy
as their stake are getting undermined.
