Impact of Media Art on the Legal and Administrative Systems of the Country
Main Article Content
Abstract
In a free nation like India, the media may make or break an issue. Maintaining a democratic society relies heavily on the constructive function and use of the mass media. The transition from police state to welfare state has occurred in our nation. This shift has made the state much more accountable. There has to be a lot of regulations made by parliament or by the administrative body in order for people to operate in such a more responsible way. These laws should be widely disseminated to the people that they were enacted to protect. Without people understanding their responsibilities and legal protections, the rule of law itself becomes meaningless. Under these circumstances, the law risks becoming a toy in the hands of those who would abuse it. Media alone may represent whatever development the government has done or whatever is the new area where our country should concentrate.
Justice is demanded by the public with the aid of print and social media. It is clear that in the modern period, social and legal issues that have received media attention have had greater legal backing and have come to a quicker resolution than those that have not. The media's role in promoting awareness of the Right to Information Act has been shown to be beneficial to government and the nation at large. People are more aware of their rights now than ever before. The public's heightened knowledge may serve as a potent spur in the battle against corruption in government agencies. The public's perception of the media has been damaged by a few powerful individuals and institutions. These individuals and groups are publishing false information that contributes to widespread rumours via improper means. It has sparked tensions among various social groupings. These hoaxes incite violence and disrupt established social order. It must be restrained. The Fourth Pillar of Democracy is the Media, as history has shown.
