There is no hiding of the fact that this noble profession of journalism which once fed Indians with important information is now feeding misleading facts. The first issue is fake news, these wrong pieces of information gets spreads in general public with great pace and later causes chaos. The next problem is misleading headlines, news channels use click baits in thumbnails for the sake of TRP but the actual content is somewhat different. Other disturbing problem with Indian journalism is biased or discriminatory news. Many news channels focus on a particular political party or community or just one side of the story but the actual motive of reports must be to display information with consideration of truth and ethics.
