News media is one among the most powerful tools of communication which plays a key role in building a nation’s strong, rational and healthy society by informing and empowering the citizens. It has the ability to shape the opinions and thoughts of the citizens and it is believed that the media has the power to make or break the Government. On the other hand, Politics has become a ‘power’ play where they use the tactics of Sam-Dhan-Bedh-Dhand to induce and persuade people in this democratic country to grab the administrative power. But when media shakes hand with politics for power instead of doing its duty, it becomes dangerously powerful making people pawns and democracy a joke in their power-play.
