Inadequate legislation for prevention of media trial

Media is the fourth pillar of democracy and a responsible medium for communication. During colonial rule
media was completely regulated and didn’t have freedom to circulate information which they want. As the
time changes, media started to get recognised and its importance was seen after the coming of Indian
Constitution and after landmark constitutional cases. Media got recognised and at the same time it got its
right to freedom to circulate any information which they desire. Media was a responsible and informative
one and propagates news which is good for the society. But recently we can see that lots of media has come
up and so the competition arises and thus media circulates news in a sensational and misleading way only
for increasing viewers and television rating point. Even though there are lots of legislations for media but
still it is not sufficient to control and regulate media. We need an adequate and uniform legislation for
regulating all kinds of media. It should be a legislation which has to make sure that media enjoys its freedom
of speech and expression and at the same time it should make sure that media does not exceed its rights
