It will give an understanding about the basic difference between media trial and media activism. In doing so the reference to different cases where media, particularly the news media, played an important role will be made for the understanding of the reader. After having studied this module you should be able to: • define media and media activism; • describe the role of media in women centric issues; • differentiate between media trial and media activism. • Distinguish whether the taking up of a particular women’s issue is an act of responsibility or done to garner the TRP. • describe the cases related to media activism and media trial. 3.1 Introduction The module, Pro-Women Media Activism, will cover altogether, seven themes for establishing the role of media in women-related issues and in particular the attempt by media organisations to draw the attention of the audience, policy makers and the government towards women centric issues. Here the role of the media will be of an activist, i.e., taking up an issue on its own and leading with follow-up stories. Let us now discuss each theme which has been mentioned in the order as put above. 3.2 Definition of Media and Media Activism At the very onset we must understand the meaning of media activism and the context in which we are taking into consideration the media and its various forms. Media basically is a plural form of medium which means the intermediate between two elements. According to the Merriam-Webster dictionary, media is defined as a medium of cultivation, conveyance, or expression.1 Here we must keep in mind the term media is used in the context of technology or means of transmission of a message/messages from one person to another or many or masses. Like we can say that newspapers, magazines, radio, television, and internet are different media transmitting a message or information from a person/media organisation to a large audience who are separated by time and space. The term media is often synonymously used for mass media and mass communication. Thus mass media plays a significant role in informing, instructing, entertaining, and persuading a large public. Also it facilitates opinion formation as a result of debate and discussion, promotes culture and national integration. These functions have become all the more important in the present times where the whole world is coming close due to the technological advancements. Mass media is influencing substantially the lives of people and has proved to be an effective tool for the dissemination of an idea/ideas. 1 http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/media. Downloaded on 16 June 2015 3 Women, Media and Films Women’s Studies Pro-women Media Activism • The Media’s role is of a scrutiniser; in doing so it enlightens the public and citizens regarding different facets of an issue. • At times it takes up an issue with an agenda to fulfil which occupies most of its space and time. This agenda based reporting of an issue on the media platforms is known as Media Activism. Thus when media takes up an idea/issue for social and political development where it entrusts to itself the role of an activist serving as an agent of change it is considered to be Media Activism. • It employs communication technologies to publish news which include audio-video investigative clips, and registering protests on its different platforms including internet. Sometimes this activism is attributed to the grassroots activists and anarchists who resort to the alternative media and new media to bring into focus the stories to which mainstream media do not give much coverage. • Graham Meikle in his book “Future Active: Media Activism and the Internet” has talked about Internet Activism. • Internet Activism is defined as “political uses of networked computers that attempt to effect social or cultural change in the offline world: a politics which can use the graphical and multimedia capabilities of the web as well as text-based applications such as email”.2 So far we have understood the term media activism in different contexts. Our concern in this module will be primarily based on the activists approach used by mainstream news media and supported by other mediums. 3.3 Role of Media in Women Centric Issues 3.3.1 Media as a fourth estate of Democracy: Media is considered to be the fourth estate of democracy along with the other three, viz., Judiciary, Legislative and Executive. The latter three estates help in the proper functioning of the democracy where they complement each other as well as from time to time guide each other. In this regard the role of the media becomes very important in a democracy where the powers are bestowed to the citizens of the country. The citizens choose their representatives who in turn through the government established rules and mechanism see to the functioning of judiciary and executive. Also the executive looks into the functioning of the administration of the country while the judiciary provides the judicial remedies to the citizens and at times guides the government. So in a way all these three estates maintain a check and balance on each other. 2 Graham Meikle, Future Active: Media Activism and the Internet, Routledge, London, 2002. Page 4. Available from: http://www.amazon.in/Future-Active-Media-Activism-Internet/dp/041594322. Accessed on: 30 June 2015 4 Women, Media and Films Women’s Studies Pro-women Media Activism Image Source: http://tribune.com.pk/story/702537/the-fourth-estate-what-were-talking-about-today- was-discussed-in-europe-after-wwii/ But here the question arises, what would happen when all these estates do not perform their duties properly? Who will keep a check on these estates and not to be influenced by it? The answer to these questions is the Media, through its reports and coverage. The media is an independent entity (not referring to state-owned media like Doordarshan, Rajya Sabha TV, Lok Sabha TV, and All India Radio) without the control of government except what is laid down in the constitution and the ethical norms given by different bodies concerning media. Here to the rescue of the media comes Article 19. 1 (A) of the constitution of India which gives immense power and immunity to the media. This article talks about the right to freedom of speech and expression to all the citizens of India, and by that definition the media gets the advantage of this article. Thus, from time to time it brings the activities of the other three estates in front of the public by facilitating debate and discussions as well as reporting the daily events and in- depth investigative reports related to various issues. 5 Women, Media and Films Women’s Studies Pro-women Media Activism Image Source: http://www.slideshare.net/cskinner1/intro-marxgramsci Some of the significant women issues where the media reported stories on a daily basis as well as carried in-depth investigative reports are: Tandoor (Naina Sahni) Case, Shah Bano Case, Shahin Dhadha case, Ishrat Jahan fake encounter case, Irom Chanu Sharmila case, Badaun rape case (2014), Captain Divya Ajith leading first all-women contingent on Republic Day (2015) and Wing Commander Pooja Thakur giving ceremonial guard of honour to President Obama, Delhi, Uber rape case, witch- hunting cases from across India, Sonali Mukherjee case, Lakshmi acid victim case, Aruna Shanbaug’s issue, etc. 6 Women, Media and Films Women’s Studies Pro-women Media Activism 3.4 Media Trial Vs. Media Activism In this section we will discuss the difference between the two. Also the act of media will be analysed from the point of view of whether that act of taking up the women issue is an act of a responsible agent or it is just to garner the TRP. 3.4.1 On many occasions while reporting an issue, media go to the extent of what is called a media trial. This means even when the matter is under the jurisdiction of the court, the media also runs a kind of trial on its channel by bringing experts to talk on the issue. Sometimes its presentation is such that it indicts by implication, the suspect or the culprit even before the court has given its final verdict. Such case was of the Aarushi murder which will be discussed in detail later. 3.4.2 In the era of liberalization and market economy, the media is no longer confined only to social service but has broadened its horizon as a business entity producing and earning profit.

  • Women Leaders in Indian Political Parties and Their Contribution and Struggles
    International Journal of Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity Vol.11, No. 3, (2020), pp. 2641–2647 Women Leaders In Indian Political Parties And Their Contribution And Struggles 1K.Nithila, 2Dr.V.Veeramuthu, Ph.D., Ph.D. Scholar, Head of the Department, Department Of Political Science, Department Of Political Science, Government Arts College (Autonomous), Government Arts College (Autonomous), Salem-636007, Salem-636007, Abstract: The making of the Constitution brought women legal equality. Though the constitutional provisions allowed the women to leave the relative calm of the domestic sphere to enter the male- dominated political sphere, the involvement of women in politics has been low key. The political contribution of women is a social process crucial to development and progress. The status of women is measured internationally by the participation of women in politics and their empowerment. Women remain seriously underrepresented in decision-making positions. but still, awareness should be created among women to participate in politics with courage. The findings on the participation of women in politics are increasing. It is significant in the study on political empowerment and participation of women in politics. To secure women’s rightful place in society and to enable them to decide their destiny and for the growth of genuine and sustainable democracy, women's participation in politics is essential. This will not only uplift their personality but will open the way for their social and economic empowerment. Their contribution to public life will solve many problems in society. It concludes that the participation of women is essential as demand for simple justice as well as a necessary condition for human existence.

  • Mapping the Nature of Content and Processes on the English Wikipedia
    ‘Creating Knowledge’: Mapping the nature of content and processes on the English Wikipedia Report submitted by Sohnee Harshey M. Phil Scholar, Advanced Centre for Women's Studies Tata Institute of Social Sciences Mumbai April 2014 Study Commissioned by the Higher Education Innovation and Research Applications (HEIRA) Programme, Centre for the Study of Culture and Society, Bangalore as part of an initiative on ‘Mapping Digital Humanities in India’, in collaboration with the Centre for Internet and Society, Bangalore. Supported by the Ford Foundation’s ‘Pathways to Higher Education Programme’ (2009-13) Introduction Run a search on Google and one of the first results to show up would be a Wikipedia entry. So much so, that from ‘googled it’, the phrase ‘wikied it’ is catching up with students across university campuses. The Wikipedia, which is a ‘collaboratively edited, multilingual, free Internet encyclopedia’1, is hugely popular simply because of the range and extent of topics covered in a format that is now familiar to most people using the internet. It is not unknown that the ‘quick ready reference’ nature of Wikipedia makes it a popular source even for those in the higher education system-for quick information and even as a starting point for academic writing. Since there is no other source which is freely available on the internet-both in terms of access and information, the content from Wikipedia is thrown up when one runs searches on Google, Yahoo or other search engines. With Wikipedia now accessible on phones, the rate of distribution of information as well as the rate of access have gone up; such use necessitates that the content on this platform must be neutral and at the same time sensitive to the concerns of caste, gender, ethnicity, race etc.

    Legal Status of Human Genetic Material– A Study Relating to Human DNA its Ethical Problems and Law A Thesis Submitted for the Award of Ph.D. degree of UNIVERSITY OF KOTA in the Faculty of Law By Surendra Kumar Under the Supervision of Dr. R.K. Upadhyay Associate Professor DEPARTMENT OF LAW UNIVERSITY OF KOTA KOTA (RAJ.) 2018 CHAPTER–I INTRODUCTION Every day in the newspapers of local, national and international level as well as the television of national and international channel, we read and hear the examples of complicated nature of offences of known and unknown nature. It happens in unknown places and manners and by known or unknown persons like several persons commit adultery with a woman or several persons commit gang rape with a woman or several persons join the commission of an offence or offences with an infant, insane, idiot, illusioned, intoxicated and the like. Sometimes such rape or adulterous relationship result into birth of a child. Therefore, a complicated question arises as to the paternity of the child because it is an age old maxim that “maternity is certainty and paternity is uncertainty”.1 In such matter, in earlier times, super human or super natural means and methods of power used to resolve such issue. But later on these started creating more complications than to resolve the issues. Hence, human being turned towards scientific manner and methods to solve such parentage, heritage, lineage, succession and crime’s issues. The advent of Forensic Science made a revolution in this regard and in the ambit of forensic science, DNA (Deoxyribo Nucleic Acid) test stands on the top.

  • Justice for Jessica: a Human Rights Case Study on Media Influence, Rule of Law, and Civic Action in India Lisette Alvarez
    Florida State University Libraries Honors Theses The Division of Undergraduate Studies 2011 Justice for Jessica: A Human Rights Case Study on Media Influence, Rule of Law, and Civic Action in India Lisette Alvarez Follow this and additional works at the FSU Digital Library. For more information, please contact [email protected] Alvarez1 Abstract The purpose of this paper is to explore the impact and implications of various aspects of the Jessica Lal murder trial, understanding that many factors of Indian society contributed to both the murder and the outcome. This paper will focus on a number of specific aspects of the trial and assess their significance for human rights issues: journalism in India, social media and public participation in civic action, Indian film and its direct influence on the trial, structural issues in the police and judicial system, purpose and actions of local and international human rights organizations, and the ongoing 2011 anti-corruption movement in India. However, in order to properly contextualize the Jessica Lal case and its components within modern Indian society, it is necessary to identify a number of other criminal cases that are similar in relation to social issues. As a human rights study of a political and social phenomenon, this paper will attempt to answer certain questions: In what way does the modern use of technology and social media impact journalism and social activism? Is there a culture of violence against women in India, and if so, why, and how is it viewed in India? What successes and problems have Indian society encountered in terms of minimizing corruption in the police and judicial system? The paper will examine as well as look for the different answers to these questions in a format that engages many contributing factors that aid in the explanation, reasoning, and definition of human rights issues in India.

  • Trial by Media – a Discord of Rights
    TRIAL BY MEDIA – A DISCORD OF RIGHTS By Swatilekha Chakraborty422 INTRODUCTION One of the pillars of any democratic nation is the freedom to free speech and expression. It is a core freedom without which a democracy cannot survive. The fact that people can voice their opinions without any fear forms one of the very important characteristics of any democracy. In India, this right can be found deeply embedded under Article 19(a) of the Constitution. This right, by judicial interpretation also includes inter alia the freedom of press. The importance of freedom of press has been recognized world-wide, because of the crucial role it plays in the political development and social upliftment. The issue was discussed at lengths at the Dakar Conference on World Press Freedom in 2005 wherein it was stated that “An independent, free and pluralistic media have a crucial role to play in the good governance of democratic societies, by ensuring transparency and accountability, promoting participation and the rule of law, and contributing to the fight against poverty.” The importance of this right despite being widely recognized the chances of unlimited right being misused cannot be ignored. To curb such misuse, certain restrictions have been put on the same by Article 19(2) of the Constitution. The need to reasonably restrict the freedom of press has also been reiterated time and again by various Indian courts. 423 TRIAL BY MEDIA: THE PHENOMENA The idea that popular media can have a strong influence on the legal processes is well known and goes back as early as the advent of the printing press.
