Some people believe that media like the Press, Television and the Internet should be more strictly controlled. Others feel that if anything the controls should be loosened to give people freer access to information. Should the controls be made tighter? or should be more freedom for the media?
Introduction:
Development is printing media, television and the Internet is tremendous in this decade. By using rotary printing machine, we can produce millions of newspaper in an hour. We know different cultures and norms and practices of other countries via satellite TV. And, the internet with its access to free and fast information is the real blessings of modern science.
Problems:
Lack of freedom of expression causes severe problems in the third world countries. Politicization, biased news broadcasting, too much censoring of different medias don't give people to free access to information. These problems hamper the development process.
Due to the latest development of communication technology especially the internet in this decade can produce advantages as well as disadvantages. Education, culture, movie, music, art and different branches of sciences can be exchanged among countries very easily via the Internet. But, some observers claim that free and fast access to developed cultures may produce a negative form of culture called "Alien culture" that is burden to a poor economy. Imitation of rich culture can destroy one's native culture and can have negative consequences over an immature culture of a developing nation.
Media like Press, TV and the Internet play an important role in a sovereign country where freedom of expression is honored in terms of development. Free and fast access to newspaper from national as well as international countries can improve the quality of its reader and thereby create awareness and make consensus of a nation. A national TV can boost its foundation to produce a native culture. In addition, we can have a massive cultural exchange by watching satellite TV's and improve our native culture, which is evident in Bollywood ( India's film corp.)
