Mangaluru, Dec 11: "Majority of the media houses in India, are sold out to political parties, religion, community or a corporate house. In comparison to foreign media, Indian media lack maturity and ethics. They have failed to become the voice of the marginalised,” said Hemacharya, Multilingual author and editor, Daijiworld Monthly.

He was speaking on a seminar jointly organized by Mangalore Management Association (MMA) and SDM PG Center for Management Studies and Research which was held SDM, MBA College Conference Hall, Kodialbail, on Tuesday, December 10.

Presenting his paper on the topic, ‘Managing Media and their Social Responsibility’, he said, “Indian media is mainly based on the theory of demand and supply. They achieve circulation and TRP by publishing negative news. So they mainly focus on crime and personal issues of some individuals and celebrities. They know that there is more demand for negative news and are compelled to provide this to their readers or viewers. Hence, we cannot say that Indian media not biased and also that it gives importance to media ethics.

“Because of commercialization of media, it has become mouthpieces of few and it acts blind on common issues. Journalists and media persons are forced to work as per instruction of their bosses who are closely related with corporate houses and its controllers Because of this, the issues of common people and marginalized are not being highlighted. Secret issues which are directly related to national interest and security become sensational and spreads globally.

“Media should become the voice of people as they express their concerns, opinions and ideas. But today’s media is not interested in these things. They are engaged in searching crime and cruelty in society and highlight those as big news.

“Meanwhile, in this digital world, every individual has become a media. He or she spreads news through his or her gadgets faster than media houses. But here also, negative news gets priority. By this, we can say that individuals also play an important role in spreading negative news and make the society negative. The educated and matured people, have to transform themselves from negative thinking and keep distance from unethical things. When we become the voice of people who are marginalized in the society, the exploited and depressed, we can realize the actual mission of media,” he said.

K Jairaj B, vice president, Mangalore Management Association, welcomed the speaker and gathering. Dr Devaraj K, fellow member, AIMA, introduced Hemacharya to the audience. Deepa Nayak B, secretary, rendered the vote of thanks.

Marcel Monteiro, president, MMA, Dr Seema S Shenoy, director, SDM, PG Center, were present.

    Very true, Hemacharya. Indian media has lost all its credibility and sanctity.

    It has sold its soul to money and political power in order to have a safe, cushy, highly profitable existence. Those media houses which tried to oppose the wrongdoings of those in power, either got badly mauled or gave up without a fight!

    I hope some brave journalists/media houses take on the challenge of setting right things, in the interests of our country.

    God The Father on media and truth in the west

    Once again, I (Maureen) see a Great Flame that I have come to know as the Heart of God the Father. He says: "I will not still the voice of those who continue to oppose the Truth in your country.* They have been given free will which I respect, but that does not mean they will not be judged according to their errant choices. I am warning those of My children who are listening. You cannot trust the media to represent the Truth. The main media is controlled by the political party who represents disunity. The Truth is the opposite of their opinions and reports of further needed investigations. Their intent is to keep the country in upheaval."

    "All the talk of impeachment of this President** is further proof of their incompetence and devotion to Satan's lies and trickery. These are all signs of this evil age which fosters lack of wisdom. Know and understand the power of your prayers - especially the rosary."

    Never in the history of independent India has journalism fallen to such low, abysmal levels. Political parties have taken the maximum advantage of this.

    Print media as well as the electronic media have become the mouthpieces of the political parties.

    Money has replaced ethics and morality. The frightening part of all this, however, is unfortunately this is here to stay and precious little can be done to overcome this malaise.

    This is completely true. However, this effect is not completely confined to India.
    Apolitical media is needed, which I am not sure is possible considering that money rules everything these days. Ethos, ethics etc., are confined to books. This is true with most professions.

    This is absolutely true. Never in history of India were the media so fallen.

    One fails to believe that these are the same media which stood up during Emergency.

    The worst thing about the mainstream media is that they publish gossip, street talk and falsehood as news.

    Mainstream media today are dependent on Whatsapp University. This is the lowest point in the history of Indian Media.
