Nature

The deterioration of media standards refers to the decline in the quality, accuracy, and ethical practices of journalism and media production. This phenomenon is characterized by sensationalism, misinformation, and a lack of accountability, often driven by commercial pressures and the rapid pace of digital news consumption. As a result, audiences may receive distorted narratives, undermining public trust in media institutions. The erosion of journalistic integrity can lead to a poorly informed public, exacerbating societal divisions and hindering democratic processes. Addressing this issue is crucial for restoring credibility and fostering an informed citizenry.

Claim
