When will we realize that internet changed the world! Are not we still living in the past when we say these old things like media is a pillar of democracy? Internet, technology and social media changed the world and now technology is the true pillar while news is a commodity!
There is not much role of these traditional media houses; when citizens of y-generation are aware of the world events by the moment. No one waits for the newspaper vendor to drop newspaper at the door every morning; we just read online news happening every minute! No one reads editorials anymore; where much of brainwashing used to happen earlier! World changed; people changed; and hence the need of mainstream media houses reduced. So they have resorted to air CCTV camera footage of accidents; funny videos; and glamour news on TV. And on printed papers, we see two views - one supporting and one opposing - in order to catch attention of both sides of the divide. Mainstream media is not yet settled down; we are in transition phase. But Mr. Modi is very futuristic in all areas, e.g. solar power, etc. He found long back that mainstream media does no good and social/digital media is much faster and more direct; so he chose later over the older media...
