Question

What happens when the media's priority is profit?

Explain what kind of duty, if any, the media has to the public.

Answer 1

When the priority of the media is only profit, it can be seen that the quality of the content that is propagated reduces to a considerable extent, and it can also give out wrong ideas to the society which can be harmful for their development. When a media is public, the media has the duty to ensure equality and dignity and avoid provided biased and stereotypical messages to the society, in order to prevent mass conversion and discrimination. They must also add disclaimers in their content and ensure that the audience is informed of anything which may be hazardous to their physical , emotional, social or political thinking.
