Media gathers news through thick and thin; with sweats in their brows; tears in their eyes and catering the same to the public as daily bread. In Democracy media plays asFourth Estate” or as corner stone without which the vehicle of Democracy cannot survive. In our civilized society Media can be treated as “Mirror” through which can see the present and project the future therefore it is neither appropriate nor wise to threaten the Media or dragging to litigation for impartially exhibiting the views and opinions of the citizens. If there is any omission and commission on the part of the Media it is advisable to amicably settled the same sitting across the table in state of pointing figure in the public. It is the writer who owes the responsibilities therefore the media should not be crucified for the statements made by some individuals. In the event if the same continues unabated the fourth pillar of democracy will be lopsided and eventually the Rule of law will be trampled under the knee of injustice and ultimately the entire society will be plunged into darkness.
