According to the information received, let us tell you that today the field of journalism has become wider. Journalism is the art and method of communicating informative, educative and entertaining messages to the people. A newspaper is like an answer book which has millions of examiners and countless reviewers. Examiners and reviewers of other media also have their target population. Factivity, realism, balance and objectivity are its fundamental elements. But their shortcomings are starting to prove to be a big tragedy in the field of journalism today. Whether a journalist is trained or non-trained, it is known that there is a need for factuality in journalism.

It has been deduced from the same information that there is a lot of bias and bias in the news. In this way, the vested interest in the news is visible.
Today the idea is being mixed in the news. The editorialisation of news is taking place. The number of news stories based on ideas is increasing. This has led to an unhealthy trend in journalism. News is the mother of ideas. Therefore, views based on news may be welcome, but news based on ideas is becoming like a curse. The same media is considered both a mirror and a lamp of society. The news media in them, whether they are newspapers or news channels, are basically considered to be the mirror of society. The job of a to present a picture of society in front of society. But sometimes due to vested interests, these news media start working like convex or concave mirror instead of flat mirror. Due to this, a reverse, unrealistic, imaginary and distorted picture of society is also coming out.
