In the words of Abraham Lincoln-
'Democracy is the government of the people, by the people, for the people.
Government in any nation is based upon 3 pillars: namely
legislature, executive and judiciary but these cannot work effectively if fourth pillar i.e. MEDIA .Media use is an index of development. the greater the use the higher the education. A democratic society needs vigilant and informed people who are able to see through the gimmicks of political parties. Media is a very strong institution in any democratic nation, which brings information to the people. but we see pitfalls today, growing consumerism and materialism have adversely impacted our media. running after opportunistic gains is another malady our media is suffering from.Media must be accountable as well as responsible for its works.

Ya, i totally agree with u.Without media democracy is meaningless,its specially designed to reach a large audience. In a democratic society, the media can serve the electorate about issues regarding government and corporate entities.But some consider it as a threat to democracy and in those countries media rights are hampered.
