In an interactive session with Justice Markandey Katju, Chairman, Press Council of India (PCI) at the Soochna Bhavan, said that the media instead of promoting rational ideas is diverting the attention of the people from the real issues.
Media deliberately diverge the attentions from the issue of poverty and other socio-economic problems. Media is also dividing the people. Religion, cinema, cricket and electronic media are the opium for the masses. Media propagates the superstition and not the modern and scientific ideas though their programme. Media should raise the intellectual capacity of the people.
Nevertheless, the interaction proved to be an eye-opener and helped us understand our responsibilities while in the capacity of being media persons.
