Political Parties and Public Reporting

By: Amit Bhushan Date: 4th May 2015

The initiative by some political parties to bust some of the reports in the existing commercial news media coverage is a welcome move and others are encouraged to consider such option i.e. if they haven't till now. After all not making use of a tool may not be a good option to there route to power. However this will require intellectual rigor as well as competence since the professional fellows will be out to bust such competition which is likely to have clearly defined & explicit political leanings. While it expands the overall scope of for media services, it gives a leg up to differing viewpoints subject to being done in an objective manner, while making strong case against planted stories.

The established political parties have their own media whether direct or surrogate and so newbie trying out should have little political resistance. It may be noted that only the underneath action behind the stated intent is being welcomed and not the associated diatribe, since it is ultimately a media which is being hired/set up to counter another and giving in to the right of media to questions elected reps from all parties and having their own viewpoint. However since even media personalities admit to having a lot of twist and masala then just independent views, therefore they should not have any objections to such measures.

The social media or alternate politics is all for supporting the initiative as this would actually expand the number of 'views for consideration' associated/pushed with the reported stories and this is welcome as long as it doesn't put legal or muscle power backed curbs against the commercial news media. The journos have not denied that there have been doubtful elements but these have never been exposed (since anti-corruption seems to be not applicable for reporters or reporting) since the 'issue' was first picked up by these articles in Management Paradise. The action will improve the choices available to voters as well as number of questions to be pondered over - due to improved voter education. Off course the muscle power of commercial mass news media would of course remain, however the concocted debaters will need to go through 'all' published views before putting questions and this has chance to improve the overall debate.

A good point of the newbie party has been its focus on its promise however they need to come up with stats on it as well as improvement in governance over the past performance basis some metrics. This will allow people to question on areas which have been left unchecked as well as where there have been deterioration and such a metric reporting system can be put in place in say next 6 months which may be updated from time to time. One of the reasons of slippages in governance is non-measurement of performance and shifting focus. The government and leadership not having clear understanding of what is committed to be delivered and not measuring the achievements or narrating the same and this may be a direct fall out of overkill in promises and a lack of knowledge amongst 'Netas' as to how will this pan out, other than stressing the bureaucrats to deliver essentially what may not be possible.

The combination they starts devising a communication that tends to obfuscate the matter and may lead to 'questions' from public. Instead of looking at those aspects the leaders start looking at what people are saying and then try to manage those commentaries as and when they perceive that the rhetoric is not having the same measured impact as calibrated when it were conceived. The 'game changer' is basically to bust the game however the people in commercial news media may have a different view and they are entitled to it.

Political parties play a crucial role in the democratic process, serving as the primary vehicles through which citizens can participate in governance and policy-making. These organizations are essential for aggregating and articulating the interests of various segments of the population, and they often serve as the bridge between the electorate and the government. However, the relationship between political parties and public reporting is complex and multifaceted. Public reporting, which includes media coverage, campaign finance disclosures, and other forms of transparency, is vital for maintaining the integrity of the political system. It allows the public to stay informed about the actions, policies, and funding of political parties, thereby enabling voters to make more informed decisions. In many democratic societies, laws and regulations mandate that political parties report on their activities and financial transactions to ensure accountability and prevent corruption. Despite these measures, challenges persist, such as biased media coverage, the influence of wealthy donors, and the strategic use of misinformation. These issues can distort public perception and undermine the democratic process. Therefore, it is essential for both political parties and the media to uphold high standards of transparency and ethical conduct to foster trust and ensure that the public has access to accurate and unbiased information. This balance is crucial for the health of any democracy, as it ensures that political parties remain responsive to the needs and desires of the electorate while maintaining the necessary checks and balances to prevent abuse of power.
