Many things are happening in the country today simultaneously like high economic growth, farmer suicides, and quota politics which draw different sentiments in urban area and rural areas.
Today India is a ‘cocktail of hope and aspiration’-eminent journalist Vinod Sharma. But half of India isn’t smiling. It doesn’t have a face.

The other half which is smiling is celebrating insensitively or oblivious to the condition of other.
The negative effect of this media hyperbole is that ‘page 3′ news has become ‘page 1′ news, farmer suicides less important than cricket debate. National media is celebrating and are not being honest.

Journalism has become a commodity. The element of accountability has declined and it has lost the basic responsibility of mounding the public opinion becoming ‘dilettante’ in its action.
Journalism is a mission but is increasingly becoming commerce.

Media is serving those who have the buying capacity. It is getting swayed by the middle class. But Media hyperbole about blueline, Delhi roads, and health problems has done some good work.
Indian metro media is doing great work like ‘citizen journalist’.
Newspapers are great and big ones. Big one run on TRP, audience, reach while on other hand great ones serve the basic requirement of empowering public opinion. It depends on media whether it wants to be mistress of classes or governance of those who need help!
