⏩ Polity⚖️
→ Role of Media: Bombay HC in SSR case: Media trial when the media itself plays the role of investigator, prosecutor, judge. Perception based blame game assigned to accused, if police not instantly arrest the accused then channels blame corruption / biasedness.= shakes junta confidence in police. IF accused person confession to police under coercion or third degree torture, it's not admissible in the court, yet media publish it before real-trial. While Press Council of India (PCI) guidelines are not applicable on TV news but until a separate regulator or guidelines are formed, Bombay HC ordered TV news channels to follow PCI.

⏩ Ethics GSM4☯️
→ Telugu Poet Gurajada Appa Rao (1862-1915): PM quoted some of his verses. “Give up some of your own welfare/profit, to lend support to your neighbour. / Soil does not make a country, but it is people who do so.” Don’t claim patriotism as virtue of you alone,/don’t boast of false claims./Resolve to do something good/and show that to people around you.
→ Kerala and Tamilnadu- hardly 25% of priority groups took vaccines because they are "hesitant". As Health Secretary (IAS) what will you do? Ans. 1) More IEC / awareness / fact-sharing required to dispel the hesitation. For that, engage with Indian Medical Association, Doctor Associations, Nurse Association, Professor & principles of the medical & nursing colleges, Religious leaders, Journalists, Citizen Groups, Celebrities, Social Media Influencers. Pre-recorded caller tunes, messages on milk pouches etc. Newspaper & Social media campaigning: - It should be targeted and customised e.g. different for poor people, different for doctors etc. 2) Avoid coercion 3) Avoid "i'll do it myself-I will call Every person, I will design the social media poster my self" The role of officer is to delegate the work, not to do the work by himself, else will not be able to focus on other tasks.
