opinion poll 67% Want Media Self-Regulation, Not Intervention Press Council chairman Justice Markandey Katju's labelling of the Indian media as "anti-people" has few takers among news consumers MDRA

Also In This Story   

Press Council chairman Justice Markandeya Katju's labelling of the Indian news media as "anti-people" has few takers among the ones who count the most: news consumers. Barely 31% back his view. On the contrary, their trust in the news media is as high as 92%; over 61% prefer an independent media instead of a regulated media; and 66% believe the road ahead is self-regulation, not one dictated by the government. However, Justice Katju's view that the media was diverting people's attention by focusing on trivia and gossip found resonance among TV watchers (59%). These are some of the key findings of a five-city opinion poll conducted for Outlook by MDRA. Other major findings:

  • 76% feel media is fair and accurate in coverage
  • 64% feel media should be free to choose the content it wants to publish or air
  • 43.8% believe media houses should be free to own assets across media

The poll was conducted among 516 respondents in Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore, Calcutta and Hyderabad on November 22-23.

The sample size of 516 in five major cities appears to be too small for the interpretations to be statistically significant! At best its a kind of a snap poll..

I dont know about the other respondents, but personally, I feel that media deserves what they got - trusting and eulogising a judge to be free from humane biases.

The Indian judiciary is at the heart of the rot in the Indian democracy. And Katju is only a part of it.

As it is the media is unreliable and over above the opinion polls make it more unreliable.

 Reputation of media is at its lowest. One can not trust some news untill he checks or rechecks with other channels/publications. Here is christian media, hindu media muslim media, paid news, forged news. Despite all these media is as  necessary as police. Media doesnt need a 'REGULATOR'. But it surely needs a autonomous ( free from govt's and media's control) watchdog which can prosecute media persons for their fraudulant, unlawful and unethical acts. Moreover there must be provision of strict punishment/imprisonment in IPC.
