The medium of television is somewhat equivalent to social media, newspaper and internet. 

The main function of the television is to spread news and messages of the world. Now we see more things have been added like entertainment, live telecast, education etc.

But the most important aim and goal of the World Television Day is to take care to spread unbiased news on factual basis by the TV Media. On this World Television Day all care and caution should be taken to stop spreading of fake and false news in any form which can create more harm to the society as a whole.

Now let us read a poem on Television for World Television Day:

Television has become a new vision for mankind
Thanks to J.L.Baird for this invention and to his super mind
It has taken new shape and size
Every household has possess it like a prize
Almost like a daily need of our life
It’s the biggest possession of a housewife
An honest and obedient performer
Entertain us as per our instruction and order
So many TV channels we have for us
Variety of choices it has given before us
Information, entertainment, knowledge and news
Everything is available including experts views
With an internet TV we play various types of games
The shape size definition has improved a lot also with new trade names
Do we become idiot to call it an Idiot Box?
This is a big question everybody has to unbox
We love and appreciate the changes and improvements in television
Yet we rarely like to change our vision

Hence, Television is one of the most utilised modern gadgets considered to be part of modern culture.
