Media and newspaper: Political weapon or money making machines

We all live the age of info tech. Info; there are wrong info and there are also right and valuable. Truth should be the ultimate aim of every media, journalist and people like us when reading or observing a media instrument (newspaper, journal, tv, newsline etc). But this very essence of journalism seems to be lacking in the new age of info tech.

For example, in my homecountry, newspaper can simply be the instrument of communicating political propaganda, as oppose to giving the true and fair view of the current situation. Hence, when there's lack or scarcity of truth, people will move to other type of media instrument, say blogs.

But yet, we can't just simply read and believe what being written or told to us, because there's too much lies instead of truth being communicated.And yes friends, seek for the truth, as it remains as the most valuable commodity in the world of info tech which most people are simply too lazy to obtain.
