Media coverage
The media is the main outlet through which people receive information. With the passage of time, getting news from every corner of the world has become easy. The electronic media is showing us what is happening throughout the world within a very short period of time. The media defeats autocracy and conquers humanity! It destroys root of injustice. While the media is to be used for serving humanity, we sometimes feel that in some cases it remains silent.
During the Mumbai attack 200 people died. The entire world was aroused by the media coverage as if Mumbai were the whole world. It was of course the right response. But so far Israeli butchers have killed thousands of Palestinians including children and women. The media coverage of this genocide is not that wide as it is in other cases.
The media should be neutral!
