The problem with modern media is they do not have a sense of social justice. Do you agree?

yes, i agree to a certain extent that the problem with modern media is they do not have a sense of social justice. in todays society almost every organisation is motivated by material gains, and the media is definitely no exception. in fact the media is one of the most easily motivated, the general public's thirst for juicy gossip and news including vices and other bad influences is one large factor. it is a question of supply and demand, more people are interested in a particular kind of news the more the media would produce it no matter at what cost to earn lucrative profits, even at the expense of not having any social justice.

however in some areas and countries the media does have a sense off moral justice. for example in singapore tv stations show advertisements that are socially benefitable like promoting family togetherness.even though it might be orders from the government but still it benefits society.
