With the rise of newspapers like Economic Times, Times of India, etc, along with internet excess almost everywhere and radio channels, media with such tremendous outreach helps people from every corner of the country to be aware of all the events happening around the world and is also regularly updating people of public matters. • The richer section of India like politicians, industrialists or celebrities often get rid of court trials by offering bribes to the police who would then refuse to even file a FIR against them. Media being a watchdog and gatekeeper of such misuse of power and money, exposes the dark and true side of such stories. • Media has helped over the years in creating awareness of the rights that are provided to the people. Even the courts have addressed this that more Indians are aware of their constitutional rights than ever before. • Since media plays a vital role in shaping the mindset of people, it does so by bringing the criminal to the hook. The fear of being publicly exposed and shamed has made everyone aware of the consequences of their actions and this in turns help to curb the number of crimes committed
