MEDIA

TYPES OF MEDIAThere are two types of media :-

Print Media Electronic Media

Printing a process of reproducing text and

images, typically with ink on paper using a printing press.

Print Media lightweight, portable, disposable

publications printed on paper and are circulated as physical copies in forms of books, newspapers, magazines and newsletters.

Democracy Of Media :- A media democracy focuses on using information

technologies to both empower individual citizens and promote democratic ideals through the spread of information. Additionally, the media system itself

should be democratic in its own construction shying away from private ownership or intense regulation.

Media democracy entails that media should be used to promote democracy as well as the conviction that

media should be democratic itself ; media ownership concentration is not democratic and cannot serve to promote democracy and therefore must be examined

critically.

A media democracy advocates:-

1.Replacing the current libertarian media model with one that operates democratically, rather

than for profit.2. Strengthening public service broadcasting.

3. Incorporating the use of alternative media into the larger discourse.

4. Increasing the role of citizen journalism5. Turning a passive audience into active

participants6. Using the mass media to promote democratic

ideals

CENSORSHIPIndian media is free . But sometimes ,the

government can ban the media from broadcasting or publishing certain items to protect the interest of our country or some religious/cultural group . This is known as CENSORSHIP.

Censorship in all forms is often unjustifiable and is used simply to stop truth or ideas emerge with draw attention to powerful people or governments , or undermine ideology . This is inexcusable .

Violence , bans and seizure of content are just some of the methods used to directly censor and suppress people and their ideas.

CENSORSHIP

GAGGING ACTIn 1857, the British passed the ‘GAGGING

ACT’, which empowered the government to ban the circulation of any newspaper , book or other printed material that could weaken

of British government .
