                                     ABSTRACT

         Knowledge  makes  the man, they say. The concept behind this age-old
         saying is that without intelligence, human beings will be no better than
         unintelligent animals. Journalists, historians and scholars, individuals who
         are credited with giving knowledge to humanity. They involve journalists
         who provide us with our full knowledge of current affairs and events around
         the world. With the boom in information and communications technology
         over the last two decades, the world of media has changed drastically. Today,
         Mass media  provides 24-hour news and  updates us daily with news and
         information from even the most distant areas of the world. In a country like
         India, Indian media, a powerful entity, has been defined as the Fourth Pillar
         of Democracy. Being one of the pillars of India's democratic nation, Indian
         media has a huge responsibility to make the nation because it affects the
         political leanings of people and therefore enables them to make the right
         decision when choosing a government.  Media  plays a crucial role in the
         democratic life of the country's citizens as it keeps people informed about
         the socio-economic and political state of affairs'. At this juncture this paper
         examines the present position of Indian Journalism.

         Keywords:  Media, Journalists, Democracy, Government, Affairs of State.
