a country to propagate the information from one end of the country to the other either by electronic means or by the means of print, i.e. is either by Radio, Television, and Internet or by News Papers.

What is Nation ?• Broadly speaking a Nation may refer to a community

of people who share common territory and Government; and who often share common Language, race and/or common History. In international prospective Nation can be referred as a Sovereign State. Therefore our country Bangladesh is sovereign State comprising of races, castes, sub-castes, regions, languages, and religions.

Why Press / Media?So, the question lies, why media?, why is it given so much importance?... The reason being that this is THE AGE OF INFORMATION and having information or giving it can make a lot of difference. And since media is the largest stakeholder as far as information is concerned therefore it is media’s job to spread information, which it does brilliantly!

Why Press / Media? Cont.…media can be controlled or manipulated and that means a lot of false information being spread which in turn can trigger variable responses from the masses or certain groups among them, or, un trigger responses that should have been triggered!....

Continuous exposure to media reports can trigger variable or distinct physiological responses. They can be -

• Fear

• Sadness

• Anger

Roles of press / mediaMedia is considered as "mirror" of the modern society.

In the world of today, media as necessary as food and clothing. The newspapers can play a very vital role in the reconstruction and regeneration of a nation by highlighting and pin-pointing the social, economic and moral evils in the society. Can be helpful in eradicating these evils from the society. They can also start propaganda against the economic evils like short-weights and measures, smuggling. Black-marketing income tax evasion hoarding corruption and bribery. THUS the newspapers can help greatly in the nation- building activities. Newspapers provide some material for every type of interest. They give us stories, the crossword puzzles, the post page, the expert's comments on certain affairs of national and international importance.

Roles of press / media Cont.…• The media helps to bring out the hidden talents of the people. The children learn many good things through media. • By reading newspaper, the children learn many things, their reading habit increases and their vocabulary enhances by learning new words. Their knowledge increases by watching geographical channel, quiz programs and speeches by famous personalities of different fields. • The cartoon channels make the children happy. • The games increase their logical thinking power and grasping of things. The attitude, approach and behaviour of the common people will also change, when exposed to media. • The media conducts polls and let public to take part in social issues. Through bogging in the internet and writing letters to the editor in newspapers, many people give voice about their opinion in different political and social matters.

During the past few decades media has evolved from being a piece of paper to an industry that can, at it’s best, can topple governments, make a superstar out of someone, or, spread some good useful information among people, make them aware of their surroundings, know their or other people’s rights!

Media has a constructive role to play for the society. Today News Channels and even some Newspapers are mouthpiece of some social issues, which helps us to estimate the realities of lives. It is the fact that in most of the eras, media were not being given free and fair chances to explore the issues of society more openly than it is being given now; but we can't deny this fact that the issues were always raised in order to provide justice to the people.

The role of media in education and health sector is far more important Learning, nowadays, is not limited anymore in terms of space, time, and medium as the use of media, especially internet, has contributed a lot towards education than its role in the election campaigns. It's the job of the media to show the true picture of the society.

Media is the most powerful tool of communication. It helps promoting the right things on right time. It gives a real exposure to the mass audience about what is right or wrong. Even though media is linked with blaming fake news every time on terrorist attacks by saying directly Muslim fundamentalist hand in attack without properly investigating but on the safe side, it helps a lot to inform us about the realities as well.
