Free press and media can be defined as tools provided to media organizations which are not controlled or restricted by government censorship in political or ideological matters. The Constitution of India provides freedom to the press so that they can express and criticize the government as well as their actions in a balanced manner. While the exact definition is variable, politics can be generally defined as a component of a nation, structured in a hierarchical order, with a responsibility to govern and ensure the well-being of the citizens. The main objective of the paper is to investigate the relationship between media and politics and the impact they have on each other. In total, 208 people were received and were used for the final analysis and to explore the current socio- political scenario in the country due to the lockdown imposed during April- May, 2021. The sample size satisfies the requirements for the result analysis The random sampling method was used to establish a link between media, politics and the people. The results revealed that there is a strong relationship between media and politics and they favour each other to further their own agenda and to strengthen their popularity and to remain in power and to dominate in the market. The study discovered a new dimension to the issue that even the people of this country are somewhat responsible for the present media crisis and political corruption. The media and the government are setting the trend of working together and are being accused of endorsing political propaganda instead of reporting the truth. The researchers dealt deeper into the reasons as to why the press had to incorporate politics and their agendas to survive and the impact the media has on people in sustaining democracy in a country like India. As this is a conceptual topic, one can find the application of a combination of both primary and secondary data for the study.
