New Delhi, December 21 (Agencies): Prime Minister Manmohan Singh Monday said that media has to project the voice of the silent, instead of only the “loud” sections of society, and also reflect the complexity and diversity of issues. “We should introspect whether the media does justice in portraying the diversity and complexity of the issues of the day and whether there is adequate balance in the purveying of ideas and information,” said the Prime Minister at an awards function.
He said that the media had the responsibility to “ensure that it is not just the loud who are heard, but also the silent”. “Indeed, often those who are loud are better organised, better funded, and better served by the system. If the media only purveys their viewpoint, who will speak for the silent majorities?” “The media cannot be just a window to an unattainable world. It should seek to open the door to an attainable and a sustainable future for each one of us,” Singh said.
