Ethics and Values became joke in Journalism

Ethics and Values became a joke in Journalism. Yes, the statement is hundred percent true now days many journalists are not following Ethics and Values especially film journalists. Instead of providing objective and balanced information many film journalists are focusing on creating controversies and promoting certain individuals for personal or financial gain.

Now a day’s film journalists are often seen prioritizing sensationalism, personal bias, or publicity over truth and integrity. This decline in journalistic standards not only damages public trust but also undermines the credibility of the entire media industry. Recently we had seen a film journalist questioning a hero about his qualifications to become a hero. Shockingly the hero who came from another industry has delivered back to back blockbusters with nearly 100 cr collections. 

Biased Attitude of Some Film Journalists

In recent times, many film journalists have displayed clear bias. The way these Journalists conduct interviews and report on actors often question young self-made actors harshly about their qualifications, acting skills, or industry knowledge.

However, the same Journalists who behaves harsh with young actors didn’t raise such questions when it comes to star kids or those with strong family backgrounds in the film industry.

This double standard not only exposes the lack of ethics and fairness in Journalism but also highlights how favouritism and nepotism influence media coverage. True Journalism should treat every artist equally and focus on talent and merit rather than background or connections.

Why Ethics became joke in Journalism

Corporate Influence on Journalism is the main reason. The corporate interests and media organizations supporting such film journalists are largely responsible for why ethics and values are no longer respected in Journalism today. 

Final Verdict

It’s high time that journalists remember their responsibility to the truth and restore ethics and values in their work. Rather than asking questions about actors or producers personal life during film promotions these journalists should concentrate on asking meaningful and relevant questions about their work, creative process, and contributions to the industry. Responsible Journalism should always aim to inform and inspire rather than sensationalize or invade personal privacy.

Also, filmmakers should focus on promoting their product instead of controversial comments. Because personal criticism opens the door to unnecessary headaches. Finally, it has a profound effect on the outcome of their film.!
