Media should always try to side with the truth. Unfortunately some Medias side certain political parties for their mutual benefits. They must always reveal the truth.
Media is the biggest tool to bring awareness in the society, either it be political, social or economical. they let us know about the whole word while we are sitting in our dining rooms having a cup of coffee, so the definitely play a huge role but some times all they show is not the truth, the news is manipulated under the circumstances and pressure created by political parties and others.
I think there is no need to rein in media as they have their own unions and they set their own set of ethics. What media is doing today is really commendable. You see a poor man finds justice from the administration just for the media coverage he is getting which was not possible some years ago when common man assumed that justice was only for powerful people. Similarly, media has put a fear among politicians and bureaucrats who are constantly watched against corruption.

Yes media is playing major role in bringing awareness in society, giving us latest about what is happening in our world, making us aware about our rights, creating awareness against evils in our society, what new happening around us,
