The press and other forms of media are engaged in the production, reproduction and distribution of knowledge in the widest sense of symbolically meaningful experiences in the social world. Construction of reality have become the forte of the media and meanings and interpretation of reality are socially constructed in such a way that images and words purveyed by them get picked up for general usage by the consumers of such knowledge and images. It is becoming clear that we are increasingly experiencing a mediated world rather than reality itself. There is need to exercise discretion while reading and viewing what the media manufactures for us.
