GREENPEACE – Movement to protect Mother Nature….

2011-04-02T17:10:00.007+05:30

Greenpeace Movement

Greenpeace is a non-governmental environmental organization with offices in over 40 countries and with an international coordinating body in Amsterdam, Netherlands. Greenpeace states its goal is to "ensure the ability of the Earth to nurture life in all its diversity" and focuses its work on world wide issues such as global warming, deforestation, overfishing, commercial whaling and anti-nuclear issues. Greenpeace uses direct action, lobbying and research to achieve its goals. The global organization does not accept funding from governments, corporations or political parties, relying on more than 2.8 million individual supporters and foundation grants.

Global Peace

Greenpeace evolved from the peace movement and anti-nuclear protests in Vancouver, British Columbia in the early 1970s. On September 15, 1971, the newly founded Don't Make a Wave Committee sent a chartered ship, Phyllis Cormack, renamed Greenpeace for the protest, from Vancouver to oppose United States testing of nuclear devices in Amchitka, Alaska. The Don't Make a Wave Committee subsequently adopted the name Greenpeace.

Save the World

In a few years Greenpeace spread to several countries and started to campaign on other environmental issues such as commercial whaling and toxic waste. In the late 1970s the different regional Greenpeace groups formed Greenpeace International to oversee the goals and operations of the regional organizations globally. Greenpeace received international attention during the 80s when the French intelligence agency bombed the Rainbow Warrior in Auckland's Waitemata Harbor, one of the most well-known vessels operated by Greenpeace, killing one. In the following years Greenpeace evolved into one of the largest environmental organizations in the world.

Greenpeace is known for its direct actions and has been described as the most visible environmental organization in the world. Greenpeace has raised environmental issues to public knowledge, influenced both the private and the public sector. Greenpeace has also been a source of controversy; its motives and methods have received criticism and the organization's direct actions have sparked legal actions against Greenpeace activists.

What are the Responsibilities of the Media ?

2011-03-21T12:02:00.000+05:30

This article contains some simple explanations about functions and responsibilities of the Media.

The file can be directly download from the link given or click on the title of the post.

Introduction

Communication is the important need of a society. Nowadays communication became easier and the media using to communicate increased. The term ‘mass communication’ got relevance when the new methods of communication introduced. Normally communication is the process of conveying information or ideas. Mass Communication involves sharing ideas across a large audience either at a given point or through an extended time frame and usually involves a professional communicator. Most people agree that mass media include newspapers, magazines, books, films, television, radio, internet and recordings.

Responsible Media

‘Media’ is the five senses of the society. Media senses each and every heartbeat of the state. Medias like newspaper, television, radio etc. are providing latest information to the public. That is the primary duty of a media. The underlying purpose of media was to discover truth, to assist in the process of resolving social and political problems by presenting all manner of evidence and opinion as the basis for taking decisions. But beyond this, media has more duties and responsibilities to the public or to the state.

First of all ‘Media’ should understand their freedom given by the authority. The constitution of India is giving Press Freedom to gather information, publish the story, criticize the authority or any other personality, ask for opinions etc. But one thing is to remember that to enjoy our freedom we should offer some duties and responsibilities to the people or nation. Media is not the common people. They have a unique position and concern in the society. If Media would not function properly it would affect the society. The idea that the Media are responsible to the general public made up of citizens is widely accepted, not the least among journalists.

Free and Responsible MEDIA

It is possible to have a media both free and responsible. It is not possible, however, to have a media that is totally free and accountable. The roots of responsibility lie in the fact that journalists are both individual and social beings whose decisions and actions inevitably affect others. A media man should not and should not be, primarily a self-serving endeavor. Journalists should be self aware, that they should think about their role, and should think about the consequences of their views as well.

Media has deserved to define their responsibilities. But also government can legally determine them. Individual journalists themselves can determine their responsibility to the people.

Media have responsibilities that,

1. are based on the function news media have in society.

2. follow from how specific news organizations define their role within communities they serve.

3. follow from the individual journalist’s own value system.

First two categories define universal principles and the third category of responsibilities reflects limits that can be set only by the individual media person. It follows from this addition of personal freedom of choice that there will be a plurality of morally permissible behaviours within the limitations set by the first two categories. Self-imposed responsibilities come from the fact that the person who has decided to “be a journalist” acknowledges a primary responsibility to the audience.

Padma Shri. Barkha Dutt - Having a 'third eye' to uncover the truth

2011-03-17T21:42:00.001+05:30

Barkha Dutt

Barkha Dutt is an Indian TV journalist and columnist. She is currently the Group Editor, English News at New Delhi Television (NDTV). Dutt gained prominence for her reportage of the Kargil War. She has won many national and international awards, including the Padma Shri, India's fourth highest civilian honor. She writes a column for The Hindustan Times, called "Third Eye." In 2010 she was one of the journalists taped in the 2G lobbying Radia tapes controversy.

Barkha Dutt was born in New Delhi to her father, S.P.Dutt, an official in Air India and Prabha Dutt who was a well-known journalist with the Hindustan TimesBarkha studied in Modern School, New Delhi and graduated from St. Stephen's College, Delhi with a degree in English literature. She received a Master's in Mass Communications from Jamia Millia Islamia Mass Communication Research Center, New Delhi. She started her journalistic career with NDTV and later rose to head the English news wing of the organization. She also got a master's in journalism from Columbia University's Graduate School of Journalism, New York assisted by a Inlaks Shivdasani Foundation scholarship.

Kargil War and Mumbai Attacks

Her rise in popular Indian awareness is primarily attributed to her coverage of the Kargil War and her continued association with news primarily pertaining to the sensitive issues of Kashmir politics. She is hailed as the “Indian Christiane Amanpour”. Her reporting of the Kargil conflict in 1999, including an interview with Captain Vikram Batra, brought her to prominence in India. Indian Navy Chief Admiral Sureesh Mehta insinuated that she may have compromised the security of the troops by giving away troop locations. Barkha disagreed, claiming that the then Chief of Indian Army, Gen VP Malik, indicated otherwise in his personal memoirs. She has since covered conflicts in Kashmir, Pakistan, Afghanistan and Iraq. Newswatch, a media watchdog, observed that her style of reporting was full of theatrics and had the merit to reduce complex issues to sound bytes. She responded to such studies by remarking that the medium (of Television) lent itself to such shrillness. Amita Malik, a prominent film and television critic, described her to be intrusive into the private lives of people with a long list of trite questions. Sevanti Ninan, a media critic, thought of her as being a representative of the popular malaise afflicting the news media. Barkha, according to many publications, was the journalist who came in for the most criticism for sensationalist coverage after the Mumbai Terrorist Attacks. Vanity Fair Magazine carried a report citing that her broadcasts were used by terrorist handlers in Pakistan to relay orders back to those in Mumbai.

Some awards she has won:

Receiving Padma Shree form the President of India

Global Leader of Tomorrow Award from the World Economic Forum, 2001

Commonwealth Broadcasters Award, 2002

Broadcast Journalist of the Year by the Indian Express, 2005
