Media is a very powerful means of communication in this technologically ever-evolving world. Media creates awareness among the public and has been instrumental in shaping public opinion. Well-informed is well armed. However, children and the student community are swayed by the constant dose of advertising; the dominating influence of media is such that the students’ beliefs, attitudes and outlook are affected (generally adversely). It is up to society (parents, teachers and elders) to ward off this influencing factor. Media is one of the most effective tools of communication and acts as a double edged sword. It has proved to be a boon and in several cases, a bane.
