Topic: Media lacks vision
Here we have to mention that Mahatma Gandhi was the best and perfect political leader India, maybe the world ever had in recent history.

Jawaharlal Nehru could absorb many of his ideals with a modern, socialistic vision that suited our large sections of poor and downtrodden.
/1
It is not that we do not have people with such high qualities now. We are obstructing them to become one in our political arena due to our crab mentality with a negative, selfish bent of mind characterized by not allowing others to get ahead of or do better than oneself.
/2
We should not live in Utopia and expect perfection in everyone, every politician and every institution.

People do make errors, misjudge or maybe they are ill-advised on issues.

It should be treated as part of business risk if there is no ulterior motive behind such errors.
/3
The fault-finding mission should be issue-based, not personality-based unless they are repeated or habitual.

We are against sins, not sinners.

Efforts should be directed towards finding facts and not nitpicking which hurts self-confidence and creates distrust among people.
/4
One of the important missions for the development of nation is to allow, encourage growth of confidence of people and leaders in all sections of society including politics.

Instead, the atmosphere deteriorated and degenerated leading to lack of trust in leaders and people.
/5
Sermonising about facts and truth; advising not to spread lies, half-truths and untruths is not an attractive proposition as the practical world is not interested.

But this is the only and best possible approach one can adopt for finding solutions for the problems of people.
/6
In fact, the absence of problem-solving mechanisms or its dysfunctioning and inadequacy is main cause for continued existence and proliferation of unsolved issues that confront us.

It is basically a systemic failure, its provisions, monitoring, solving issues at all levels.
/7
Most of the issues are due to inadequate search of information, exchange of views, analysis and evolving solutions.

Can we not have problem-solving mechanisms independent of or in addition to courts of law?

Are we not having people who are trustworthy, neutral and impartial?
/8
There are deliberate attempts to keep problems alive; to get it twisted, complicated so that everything reaches highest levels of political, judicial and executive authorities.

If not arbitration the scope for threadbare analysis, discussion is not fully explored/ exploited.
/9
The media has a large role to play in this search for solutions for problems faced by people and the country.

They should function as conscience keeper of the nation and help people.

Alas, media has become more problematic; people are trying to solve media's problems.

Perfectionism:

The job of the media is to gather information; present news and views to all. They also do raise questions to bring out facts. Sometimes by exercising this right, they presume that they are masters, judges, avatars to set right and establish a perfect universe.
/1
Searching and evolving perfection on any issue or system is a process. It may involve many individuals, groups of people from various sections of society, institutions.

Media also plays a part but do not get any superior knowledge or supernatural powers by questioning people.

Overreach:

No one including the media have complete control over information. They search for it on their own and raise questions to people concerned publicly or privately.

Many a time they jump to conclusions with incomplete information and present them as complete truth.
/1
For the evolution of solutions or arriving at the truth on any issue, there has to be right kind of analysis, debate, discussions which includes being receptive to information, ideas with an open bent of mind to admit errors of judgement and modify one’s thinking/ opinion.

Causation:

A professional media is to raise questions about executive misconduct and also to search for truth behind all issues that are matters of public concern as part of media’s social responsibility.

This does not happen if media develops prejudices and mental blocks.
/1
We, Indians, love the concept of peaceful coexistence. But still, we are a diverse society not yet fully liberated from the deep divisions based on caste, religion, language, region and also innumerable subgroups of every kind existing within it.

Pattern:

If we look at the media’s failures, weaknesses, silences, actions, inactions deeply, there appears to be at the root a pattern emerging in their behaviour, character.

One may note such conspicuous absence of media even in case of recent Delhi riots to unravel truth.
/1
They are not occasional, incidental let-downs or failings. it appears to be due to a characteristic approach they are habituated to adopt due to their prejudices and bias.

The course correction required for such basic abnormalities needs deeper analysis of past and present.

Avoidance:

We do get satisfied if the media speaks our voice, say of an educated middle-class citizen reflecting our views.

Is that enough? This is not what is expected of them.

A deeper analysis and understanding of the characters and subjects involved is required.
/1
A closer reading of the issues and associated individuals or groups, their minds, character, behaviour will lead to a predictable line of their approach, the games they play and the strategies they hold or will unfold in future. This will help in our defence and response.

Relevance:

The abnormalities of paid media are apparent. That is inevitable as long as their need and greed exist.

Countering the committed/ paid media is a worthless exercise but it is necessary to communicate the truth about their intentions, idiocy to the people.
/1
What we are to really bother about is the free media. Their role and proper functioning are relevant and essential for protecting our democracy, providing checks and balances to the system, bringing sensible changes in society to improve the quality of life of people.
