Is the subject of media's role in the world
dogmatic, unquestionable and un-alterable ?

Hi,
". . . .it can maintain its single-minded
focus on news-gathering and its commitment to the highest standards of objective,
accurate journalism.
AP’s commitment to independent, comprehensive
journalism has deep roots. Founded in 1846, AP has covered all the major news
events of the past 165 years, providing high-quality, informed reporting of
everything from wars and election"
Above text was copy-pasted from your 'about
us' portion of web-site.
We are a non-profit, concentrating on
philosophical fundamentals of existing institutions, checking the contrast
between their 'possible' and actual goals. We observe that, when Media stand
tall as the all defining and all-expressing medium in modern-world, other
institutions, traditions, meanings and norms turn largely depended upon them,
for CHANGE, RE-DEFINITIONS, and RE-INVENTING.
Truth and reality are what stand expressed,
and the way they stand expressed. So, media being the singular medium in
modern world that 'express' her, it define, give color and shape to the world !
Kant was very specific on the two world
theory; the phenomenon, and that of NOUMENON. Phenomena, the world of senses,
always depended on some or other stand point. So, Media being the exclusive
agent of expressing the world, her ‘stand-point’ is extremely relevant to
giving color and shape to world ! When she is obsessed with projecting the
world 'objectively' a very subjective act as she only have the exclusive
freedom to chose what should be expressed as 'objective' news/truth, a lot of
'subjectivity' crops into the act, even without her knowledge or intention.
We realize that what we have touched above is a very complex theme, and an institution (media)
that exists in the world for few centuries, may not be able to re-check and
re-contemplate on such base fundamentals at this late stage. But remember,
institutions and practices could be termed evil at any stage; take the example
of European and US
So, this humble communication is
intended to knock at your supposedly OPEN disposition, to delve upon our
dedicated blog-posts on the 'dire need of having a REINVENTED MEDIA' in
contemporary world. The links of the said blogs are: http://mediaandcontentrelevance.blogspot.in/
We are a philosophical entity and initiative,
so what we have communicated might be odd and not akin to the norms of the day
! But, hope you would call your minds and have a brain-storm session, so that,
future of mankind get a REINVENTED media 1
