Direction(9-18):
Read the following paragraph and answer: Edmunde Burke called the press
the Fourth Estate of the realm. I think he did not use this title for
the Press thoughtlessly as social ruling group or class. The three
Estates or Realms (in England) Lords Spiritual (i.e., the Bishops in the
House of Lords), the ‘temporal, (i.e. other Lords) and Commons, i. e.,
the common people). The Press has been rightly called the Fourth Estate
as it also. constitutes a ruling group or class like the Lords and
Commons. It cannot be denied in a free country that the Press exercises
good deal of influence in shaping public opinion and pointing out the
weaknesses or defects of society or of Government, and ‘in general
bringing to light all those good or bad things in society which would
have otherwise remained unnoticed. The power is not limited or put under
any check. The Press, instead of, being controlled by anyone controls
life and thought of a nation: Hence the Press constitutes an Estate by
itself.
Obviously. thus power which the Press in an:)’
country wields depends upon the number of newspaper readers. The
opinions . and comments of newspapers can influence. the life of a
nation only when they are read, by People. Reading in turn, requires
that the general mass of people should be educated. Thus, the spread of
education determines the extent of the newspapers. Where readers are
few; newspapers must necessarily be few. Their influence, in that case
can extend only to a small minority of population. In a country like
India, the percentage of literacy is very low and the standard of
journalism is n9t very high. So Press has to play the role of a teacher
here.
