The duty of a news-editor is very difficult and sacred.In his/her choice of the news,many factors play a great role.News-editor has certain ethics and liabilities which must be kept in mind.There are so many factors influencing the news-editor.

The first and foremost duty of a news-editor is to present the truth.It is his sacred duty to make the people aware of the truth.He cannot promote rumours or ill-founded news.It is his duty to verify the authenticity of the news.Otherwise,the reputation  of the newspaper or TV channel will be at stake.It is his daring duty to expose the malafide intentions and practices of the bullies of the society so that a check can be put on their activities.Here a news-editor is performing  the duties of a surgeon whose main concern is to ameliorate the condition of the society.

Catering to the needs of the various sections of the society is also a major concern of a news-editor.He/she has to do the best so as to cover almost all the sections of  the society.starting from the political news,the editor has to cover the fields of trade,commerce,entertainment sports and science and technology.An ideal balance has to be struck by the editor.

Communal harmony is the main motto of the media.It is the responsibility of the news-editor to present the news  in such a way that the sentiments of any community are not hurt.Irresponsible and biased attitude can prove to be disastrous for the society.

It is the fact that these days we are getting used to bad news like murders,bank-robberies,rapes and scandals.

2.These days are the days of electronic media.Do you think newspapers have got any relevance in the modern world?How?

SAMPLE ANSWER:

Newspapers are the indispensable part of our social existence.At
day break if something is taken for granted,it is the newspaper.They are the barometer of social activities.They cater to almost every every section of the society.Newspaper have the importance not only because of the news,they give us much more than this.Through their editorials,feature articles,comments and letters from the readers,they control,guide and even manipulate the attitude of the public.

Newspapers perform a real service to the people by providing them educated,expert and enlightened opinion on different aspects of life-social,economic,cultural and political.For example,sustained campaigns by many newspapers are increasingly making the people aware of the dangers of many social and political evils.Secondly,by exposing the mal-practices of many politician,religious and communal leaders,economic offenders and anti-social elements,newspapers enlighten the people.

Press is the true sentinel of democracy.It is rightly called the Fourth estate of democracy.It is better than a good opposition.No body can escape the onslaughts of the press.The latest method of sting-operation has sharpened the teeth of the press more than before.It is not uncommon to watch the political leaders quoting the press exposing the nefarious activities of the corrupt leaders,bureaucrats and other people.

Unfortunately,however,newspapers have also enough potential for the misuse of their power.It is an open secret that many newspapers are controlled by political parties,business magnates and industrial houses.some newspapers give the distorted version of news.Sometimes they appeal to the sectarian and communal feelings in the society.

To conclude,the power of the press is undeniably great whether it used for constructive or destructive purpose.It is the sacred duty of the press to create amicable atmosphere in the society.They should realize the great responsibility put on their shoulders.
