In this program, Rajat Sharma expressed his views on his experience and challenges of media and also answered people’s questions.
Distrust spreading regarding digital media
While Rajat Sharma shared his experience regarding newspapers, broadcast media and digital media, he also considered the spread of distrust in the society regarding digital media as a challenge, where anything is being made viral without checking its authenticity. He told that one such platform is YouTube. Even someone who has no experience in making videos is uploading videos on this platform indiscriminately. And all this is being done to get views and earn some money.
Government needs to make law
He told that deep fake and digital arrest have emerged as the biggest challenge, about which people are not ready to understand even after explaining a lot. He mentioned his own incidents of deep fakes and said that all this is happening because there is no control over them. Therefore the danger is great. The government needs to make a law. The law should be such that people who carry out such incidents sitting in other countries can also be reached.
Risking life to make reels
Rajat Sharma told how people are risking their lives to make reels. People are becoming victims of this incident due to not getting views. There is loss both emotionally and financially. This is a different threat. He said that Rotary Club has worked for the society, now they should make the society aware about this new challenge. We should try to make the society aware. If you people are able to do this then our coming here will be successful.
