Question

How do we know that media is not independent?

✓

Answer

Media is not independent because of two reasons:-

Government at times controls the media from sharing many news with the larger public. This is called censorship. In India, it was done during the emergency of 1975-1977.
Media channels are controlled by big corporate houses so that focus is on the side of the story which suits them or favours those who give them money through advertisements.
