Media focus on the problems and difficulties faced by the public. It discusses the domestic and foreign policies of the government. It provides ample information regarding political corruption, world – wide economic depression, and terrorism and communication technology. It highlights the evils of cartelism, corruption and illiteracy. And it also suggests ways for dealing with such problem and difficulties. It is very important that media must be independent. As it directly analyses the news of valuable political, national, external and regional issues. In ancient world, when there was no media, the people of one area were unable to know about the outer world. But today, it is possible. The people of a place can know the situation of other parts of the world every second.
