One of the most sensational news of all times was of Shoaib Malik’s wedding with Sania Mirza. It became the headline for every news channel, every newspaper and every magazine focused on it. So much hype was given to their wedding and to the accusation targeted at Shoab Malik by an Indian family for exchanging wedding vows over the phone.

Similarly, another cricketer Mohammad Asif’s personal life was also discussed in the media. Somebody recorded his personal videos and sold it to the media channel. Every medium of the mass media was fighting for the attention of the readers, listeners, and TV-viewers.

This fight and competition is increasing in the area of the mass media day by day. The life and death of each newspaper and TV station is at stake when the income from advertising and sponsoring is proportional to the number of readers or viewers. The news
