It is irrefutable that media reflects the picture of society and all the happenings around us . It is true that media highlight more news about calamities and violence. In this essay I shall discuss the causes and some of their possible solutions.

The principal reason why media shows pictures and news about fatalities and catastrophe are,firstly, bad news always  attracts more  viewers. Large number of audience and spectators are guaranteed  for the success and properity of that channel.Secondly,  increasing terrorism and environmental changes resulting in disasters provide  breaking news ,for instance,tsunamis, earth quake,bomb blast or  unjudicial killing of innocent citizen. A rat race to catch latest news and present it in a way to get attention of more viewrs often results in distortion of facts. Another important point is that some of the facts are  being exaggerated to make the story interesting and more attractive . However, projection of ferocity and barbarism has immuned the society. Most of the news  and reports of  geohazards and violence are just ignored and unheard by most of the people.

There are , however, several  measures could be taken up by the responsible authorities . Foremost is to improve legislation about media including what to broadcast and how much is allowed to show on media. Astringent censorship policy would definitely help to reduce the misery and violent actions  from  news. Also emphsising  and allowing more air time for entertainment and motivational programmes and shows  will help to reduce  anxiety of already  stressed and  dismal  people. Most of those persons would enjoy these shows rather than watching  scary and  frightening news and  images.

In conclusion , trend of media towards showing more ferocity and savagery should be discouraged . Simple measures are required by the authorities to transform the situation .
