ETHICAL PERSPECTIVES OF TELEVISION NEWS CHANNELS IN INDIA: AN OVERVIEW

Dr. Ajay Kumar Singh

Should ethics be considered when showing news? Or ignore these questions and watch TV. In the present research paper, by studying the changing ethics of media, an attempt has been made to know whether there should be a limit of morality in the news media or it should be left autocratic. What is the meaning of freedom of the press? Does freedom of the press mean only to be free from the control of the government and to be subject to capitalists like editors, publishers, owners of television? What kind of news should be shown when it comes to television channels? What should be the range of news? To what extent should the news be shown? Channels should also just see their profits like a seasoned trader. Present scattered literature in order to build a fresh argument suggest, one cannot stay away from the commercialization of journalism and foreign investment, but the media will have to make its own guidelines and strictly follow them, and set such a limit so that the news media can remain within its ambit and make people aware.
