Journalism was once considered a fine and sacred job has lost its position. As the social media became popular, journalism standard gradually got spoiled. Every third person, using social media, is now posing as reporter and calling himself a journalist while knowing little no code of ethics of journalism, let alone holding degree in mass communication and having professional experience. There are hundreds of such ilk social media journalists who have painted themselves into the corner by reporting things in an irresponsible manner. Many have also been witnessed harassing public servants using journalism card which is, indeed, of grave concern.
