In a hurry to meet such expectations, the media began “pandering to the  masses.” Naming a couple of newspapers, she said she was appalled to  find highly objectionable news reports and photos in their sports  section.</div><div class="body">Ms. Raghavan further added that politicians  and their political parties started television channels and in such  media houses, objective reporting would be a casualty.</div><div class="body">Nirmala  Lakshman, Director, Kasturi and Sons, said the media had to introspect  on its role as a good news operator in the society. “The media plays a  vital role as a tool of empowerment for the citizen to pursue a better  quality of life,” Dr. Lakshman said. She regretted that issues like paid  news and private treaties with companies for equity stakes had brought  down credibility to an all-time low.</div><div class="body"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcj5lUCIphPPm4vL4w3NTz5F9i9qX1ynP37WvhlpEjg__cBuLRa_4ajQsZXjYd4G1vWtyKuy-0BSO8TbwleimDQixL31xcYHOxtognS0gxs60RK5pAmjkUgNGgqm_9E-ApSDKua_-bAXU/s1600/6966387536_fe41b2ed83_o.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcj5lUCIphPPm4vL4w3NTz5F9i9qX1ynP37WvhlpEjg__cBuLRa_4ajQsZXjYd4G1vWtyKuy-0BSO8TbwleimDQixL31xcYHOxtognS0gxs60RK5pAmjkUgNGgqm_9E-ApSDKua_-bAXU/s1600/6966387536_fe41b2ed83_o.jpg" /></a></div>In her address,  Jennnifer McIntyre, Consul General for the U.S. in Chennai, said press  freedom was an idea common to both India and United States. Speaking on  the occasion, Ravi Panchamoothoo, Chairman of SRM Group of Educational  Institutions, said, media should give more space for positive news over  negative content. Coming down heavily on sensationalism, he said it  should not be the top priority and media houses should think seriously  about reducing bad content. </div></div>
