The Culture of Breaking News in India and its Repercussions on General Public.



Trust in media these days is rapidly declining among people, as media houses these days tend to favor their friends and contacts by any means possible. These tactics could either be false news, propaganda or making absurd claims against an individual or entity.  As in the times of Globalization and with rapid changes in technology have given sharp rise to the views of vigilantism and nationalism too which gives rise to a dismay in the population. Due to this constant propaganda people are getting more distrustful of government, business, media and non-governmental organizations. Of all the biggest losers of credibility was the media. As the media firms these days drive towards breaking news in India.

Due to this people are diverting towards the internet from the traditional media as purveyors of truth, the results showed. This is no fact that super-rich elite are able to control or even govern these media houses remotely or directly. Trust in media is falling day by day due to the practices of a few corrupt groups but this tarnishes the image of whole fraternity. At the epicenter is lying this lack of faith that brings a sense of uneasiness. Last year, a report showcased that the 62 wealthiest people held as much as half of the world’s population and this is what is alarming. As they are the ones controlling governments, manipulating media and remotely influencing our choices, perceptions and deceiving us quietly.

This influencing and hunger for revenue generation through media and planting fake breaking news in India is not only harming our system but shattering our democracy too piece by piece. As these forces stand against the idea of a prospering India, we at NewsroomPost ensure you with true unbiased news that touches our daily lives. And we believe in providing a light of hope in these shady times.
