Question

How shud Media/ News Channels be regulated against hyping/sensationalising NEWS?

Answer 1

How do you define "news"? Is there an accepted definition by everyone? For example, I wouldn't call "E!" or "Cosmo" news, but some would.

It's called free speech...and I'd rather have it than have some idiot telling me what I can't say, or how I can't say it.

Answer 2

What can you do to regulate them besides nothing. If they run a story ten times in three hours, thats hype. It may be about a disaster and they are getting the word out. Or it may be about something stupid and they are dulling your senses. But it is still hype and sensationalization.
