Today media is become a part of our life. It effects our thinking also. Is media is doing perfectly? What is the role of media in promoting communal harmony, especially in a diverse nation like India. Mainly electronic media is responsible for creating hype or print media also plays in that? Today we feel the crisis of value. Why? In my opinion the values e.g. democratic, secular and social are not promoted by our media in totality.

Infact, media is one of the powerful tool to promote communal harmony. It supposed to promote democracy, equality, tolerance, and other positive social values through different documentary, case studies etc. But market driven media culture has reduced the credibility of its real work.Most mass media are now covering news items of violence, anti-social act and broading the divide among different religious groups.

The media is indeed doing quite a bit towards promoting communal harmony as a very vital necesity - through debates and dialogues and critiques on violations of this value. At times though both the print media and the visual modes tene to trivialize the matter by projecting the clash as between two persons and groups of sensationalise only in terms of the communal factors without finding out if any 'civic discord' was the main cause.
