POPULATION EXPLOSSION
The Press can perform its true role as a guardian of the public interest, as a Watchdog and a source of all kinds of information, only in a democracy. The newspapers in India, for the most part, enjoy freedom of expression i.e. not State-controlled. Of course, all journalists and newspapers must behave within the law and must not infringe the regulations regarding libel, defamation; otherwise they would make themselves liable to penal code. While observing the limitations of the law, the newspapers have a wide field which they fully cover and exploit.
There are many newspapers in India some which are published in English, some in Hindi and others in regional languages. Some of the popular newspapers are: The Times of India, Hindustan Times, Indian Express, The Hindu, Dainik Jagran, Dainik Bhaskar, Navbharat Times, Eenadu etc. All these modern day newspapers without doubt help us in various ways. But, not only today, newspapers have always had their influence on Indian readers even in the pre-independence days. We now have an idea about the current scenario of newspapers in India; So, now have a look at the ROLE OF NEWSPAPERS in India in the olden days…

At the time of the first war of independence, many number of papers were in operation in the country. Many of these like Bangadoot of Ram Mohan Roy, Rastiguftar of Dadabhai Nauroji and Gyaneneshun advocated social reforms and thus helped arouse national awakening. It was in 1857 itself that Payam-e-Azadi started publication in Hindi and Urdu, calling upon the people to fight against the British. The paper was soon confiscated and anyone found with a copy of the paper was prosecuted for sedition. Again, the first Hindi daily, Samachar Sudhavarashan, and two newspapers in Urdu and Persian respectively,Doorbeen and Sultan-ul-Akbar, faced trial in 1857 for having published a 'Firman' by Bahadur Shah Zafar, urging the people to drive the British out of India. This was followed by the notroius Gagging Act of Lord

    Free Press and Democracy

    Free press has the capacity to arms citizens with essential information-the truth, that gives people the opportunity to choose the path to follow and to have their own opinion when it comes to solve problems or take a side in the issues that will always take place in a society.

It is basic statement that to maintain a healthy democracy no government activity should escape the scrutiny of the press.…

    In today’s society there are many economic problems, such as pollution, global warming, and overpopulation. These problems have taken a toll on the environment, and its resources. Although all of these issues have an impact on our society, overpopulation stands to have the greatest impact on our environment, due to the large masses of people and the limited resources. There are many solutions to this problem but the common factor is the human race.

    Population - Past and Present

    The Global population is currently over 7 billion. The biggest contributors to the world’s population are China and India, they both have populations of over 1 billion and China contains 19% of the population whilst India contains 17.4%. The highest populated continents are Asia and Africa, which are continents that most of the LEDCs are from. Asia has a population of over 4 billion and Africa has a population of over 1 billion, which makes up more than half of the world’s population. The population in these countries and continents are continuing to rise which could cause problems in the future as countries may start to become over-populated and not have enough resources to provide for all their citizens. The reason for the population being so high in the less economically developed continents is because of a much larger birth rate in these places. Reasons for this include the fact that people in LEDCs are not as well educated as people in MEDCs and so are less practical when it comes to having children, for example, the fertility rate in 2011 in Nigeria was 5.49, whereas in the UK it was 1.98 children. Another reason for these high fertility rates is because children are more needed in LEDCs than MEDCs. The reason for this is that in LEDCs a common job for people living in poverty is farming and so couples will need to have lots of children to help them on their farm, whereas in MEDCs a common job for people is office-based work in a city where workers can do their job easily on their own and so it would make more sense for them to have smaller families as it would save them money. In more economically developed continents such as Europe and North America, they have a much lower population that the less developed, with Europe having a population of over 700 million and North America having a population of over 300 million. The reason for the population being much lower in places like this is because they have low birth rates, the reason for this I have explained…
