Chirantan Brahmachari says,
Today media wants to give news that will entertain people and add spice. However, it is not media's fault alone, the audience receives such news with interest. Also media is a part of us, there is no person called the media, thus, till we change media cannot change, and we can change with the help of spirituality.
Y.S.Sharma says,
It is extremely unfortunate, but the media has lost all its ethics today. To regain them, every media aspirant must must be given a code of conduct. They must be taught to follow it, not because it is imposed, but because it will create a positive impact on his work. As far as proactivity is considered, the media today is fast to react, but they are not alert enough to tap a wrongdoing before it occurs. Thus, proactivity needs to be developed.
Shashidhar Bhandari says,
Nepal does not have freedom of press like India does. However, Indian media is also seen working under political influence. The U.S.A is trying to create conflict in Asia by dividing China and India, the two upcoming economic powers of Asia. Shouldn't the media raise a voice against such tactics? Proactive media should not remain a mere concept, it should be brought about in reality as well.
Proactive media requires media professionals who will not bend under pressure and remain faithful to the profession, for this evolution of the mind has to take place and that can happen only with the help of spiritual development.
Dr. Sanjeev Bhanawat, HOD, Journalism & Mass Comm., Rajasthan Univeristy
According to him the way we present News is very important. Any scenes or writings which provoke violence or disharmony should be prohibited. Media should realize its positive power and work on promoting acts like RTI. Positive efforts should be encouraged with the help of Media.
