Media acts as facilitator along with being an expediter on many matters including those affecting the collective conscience of society. To cite a few, like Priyadarshini Mattoo case, Jessica Lal case and recently Tehelka case. Though media to a large extent plays irrefutably positivist role, role of media in media trials specifically of sexual offence is doubtful. Sensational journalism is a reality of Media industry, for the sake of TRP explicit details of the sexual offence are divulged in public domain which results in impinging of victim’s Right to privacy or unfair denunciation of an alleged assailant. It is obvious that to run the democracy very smoothly, a free and healthy media functionary is needed. But most of the time the freedom of expression is engrossed the controversy by the sub clause (2), article 19 of the Constitution of India. It does not embrace the freedom to contempt of court. But according to the demand of current situation, media significantly involves when justice is totally denied or delayed. Though media helps in social, political changes but sometimes it is also seen frequently that media involves into the money making business. This paper is a humble effort to analyse the need of media involvement and playing a crucial role in establishing the justice in the society.
