The use of electronic media:
I'm a regular reader of the DAWN and would like to express my views through the columns of your esteemed newspaper. With
the advent of globalization and technological advancements, the face of media has too undergone a major upheaval. Much like
the two sides of a coin, the positive and negative aspects of media come to fore when we think of its social impact. It is true that
many a time media has helped in bringing about a revolution, due to outrage caused by some social injustice, in the self-centered
world we live in, media is a reminder of the world that surrounds us, and incited to fight for a world that is peaceful. However
having said that the bid to outdo other news channels and newspapers, channels etc., has made it a tradition to sensationalize
news, which in fact is more harmful, than it doing any social favour. Media needs to realise the power that it possesses in
influencing the nation in an uplifting way, and bring about the much needed changes in our social structure. It is my sincere hope
that the ethical bounds of constructive journalism, reporting and portrayals, will help influencing the national scenario, and create
a better nation.
In my entire life till now, I have observed that our media is showing a lot of biases in their coverage or in their perception. We
have seen that media tries to show the flaws in any government or in society. It is very good that our media is trying to figure out
the loopholes in society but at the same time I think media lacks to picture the positive image of the government or you can say
totally ignoring the positivity. It’s not the problem of our society because we people are born with negativity injected to us. So
our mind mostly denies taking the pill of positivity as media plays a mainstream role in any society. News articles are seen by
most of the other countries that have a keen interest in Pakistan. Then we complain that European countries are not giving us
respect, which we deserve. I think that we can’t totally blame other countries for their behavior towards us. We people also have
some responsibility as there are hundreds of positive changes occurred or occurring around us and we make ourselves blind
towards them. It’s our responsibility to portray a positive picture of society. Every individual should take part in this mission
because change can’t be done by a single person and only by a group of people can give it the right path.
Street noise:
Through an article in your newspaper, I would like to draw attention towards the issue of street noises. Street noises have always
been a part of everyone’s life in Mumbai. We have experienced a variety of street noises. But now near my locality, the street
noises have increased to a point that they are getting very hard to ignore. They are directly affecting the quality of our sleep and
thus our entire day is ruined.
There is a constant noise of street mongers that goes on for the entire day. To add to that, there are also a lot of speakers those are
being utilized by almost every business. And finally, people don’t respect the law of playing loud music during the night time.
They continue to do so even though we have warned them to stop. The concerned authorities should put a check on such
activities.
It causes great damage to the health of the people. It also causes irritation, and loss of sleep, rest, and peace. Due to noise
pollution students could not concentrate on studies. It affects the working efficiency of the people and causes loss of sense of
hearing.
The authorities should strictly enforce noise control laws. The factories which produce noise should be placed far away
immediately. Loudspeakers should not be used after a specific time. To eradicate noise pollution, authorities need public
cooperation. Hence, the public should be aware and cooperative against noise pollution.
Hope, the concerned authorities take immediate action against the acts which are responsible for noise pollution. This helps
people free themselves from harmful effects caused due to the high intensity of noise.
The columns of your newspaper will help this issue reach the concerned authorities and they will be able to help the people in my
locality.
