Furthermore, news channels nowadays are becoming extra cautious to maintain the timeliness of a particular news post, so that it can be prevented from circulating exclusively on social media. For updates regarding current affairs, still a lot of people rely on TV news channels rather than social media. That is why, it becomes the responsibility of these news channels to bring the true facts out in public within a time frame.
