मिडिया साक्षरता

आजकल मिडिया को लेकर सब लोग परेशान हैं। लोग मिडिया में - भ्रष्टाचार, पक्षपात, सनसनी फैलाना, अंधविश्वास को बढ़ावा देना, अनुपातहीनता, झूठी रिपोर्टिंग, आम जनता के मुद्दों की अनदेखी करने आदि सभी दुर्गुण देखने लगे हैं।

सूचना का उपयोग/उपभोग करने वाले हर व्यक्ति का सूचना साक्षर होना अत्यन्त आवश्यक है। मुझे पंचतन्त्र का एक सूत्र बहुत पसन्द है -

अज्ञातकुलशीलस्य वासो देयो न कस्यचिद् ।

(जिसका कुल और शील अज्ञात हो, उसको अपने घर रहने की अनुमति नहीं देनी चाहिये।)

यह सूत्र भारतीय मिडिया पर भी लागू होता है। क्या आप भारतीय मिडिया के स्वामित्व आदि के बारे में कुछ जानते हैं?

नीचे दिये हुए आंकड़े क्या कहते हैं? मुझे तो ऐसा लगता है कि भारत के अधिकांश मिडिया की लगाम अभारतीय या भारत-विरोधी हाथों में है। ऐसी दशा में इनसे क्या अपेक्षा कर सकते है?

(यह सामग्री मुझे अन्तरजाल से मिली है, इसके बारे में मेरी खुद की जानकारी शून्य है)
