Fourth Estate is at stake

t is great irony that the whole Media world and Media fraternity is divided on lines, whereas the fundamental character of Media is to lie between the lines. After all why it is called fourth estate under the 'separation of power' principle of democracy. The first and foremost reason is that, Media is not an official fourth estate, mentioned under the constitution. It is notional, not actual, so Media does not feel itself a responsible and sovereign body in the galaxy of power centers, it is just a tool to be used and being used for, so it has become just a cocktail of industry,mission, fourth estate, a mediating organ, a publicity vehicle and an armory equipment. So Media feels it is better to follow a line rather to be between the lines otherwise in the absence of constitutional status it's balance sheet will become more imbalanced
