Democracy is generally defined as the Government of people, by the people and for the people. In democracy citizens have the power to elect their representative, who can put forward their views and work for the betterment of people. Media and democracy are two phase of a coin, which run parallel to each other and always shows the true face of each other. Commonly media is known as the fourth pillar of democracy and it walks hand in hand with democracy.
Media came into existence in 1780 with the introduction of “Bengal Gazette” the renowned newspaper since then it is growing leaps and bound over the night. In the starting, Newspaper was the only thing in the name of media, but with the growth of technology it has also changed. Now at present there are various form of media such as Newspaper, Radio, T.V and various other electronic media.  Media has a great power of influencing the thought and views of common citizen. Media work for the attachment of common people with the main stream, and make them aware about the various social, economic and political activities happening  in the nation and world. Media has power to change the politics of a country, as it reminds about the promises and manifesto of politicians at the time of election. Media is the only thing which forces the politician to work according to their manifesto. Media provide platform to the voice of common man and fight for the common man. The modern technology and honest media journalist have left no stone un-turned in revealing the rampant corruption in politics and society. Media has both negative and positive impact on the society. As the news channel gives excessive coverage to the sensitive news for the TRP. As the illiterate man and youth  can be persuaded easily, so excessive coverage of bad news has  negative impact on both and can lead to severe extent such as communal riot, depression among youth and increasing number of suicide cases among youth.
Media acts as the warden in democracy which keeps eyes on the every activities of politicians, government and common people. With the passage of time and development of new technology, media has also changed and become more mature over the time. This fourth pillar of society helps common men and make them aware of every situation, which in turn make them capable of making good decision. Independent media leads to the new era of democracy and we should welcome it.
