Your version sounds to me unnatural and hard to understand, I suggest this. eg As far as day-to-day issues are concerned, the media should use the language that regular people use.

Thanks for answering. What I meant to say was, that as far as day-to-say issues like bad infrastructure, poverty, etc., are concerned the media should imagine themselves in the place of the distressed to understand their issues and suffering. Hence, I wanted to use the phrase 'at the level of regular people'.

Thanks for answering. Is this usage of 'level of', correct?: "Just because some people get all violent and abusive towards a waiter when the food isn't right, doesn't mean that we should also come down to their level and do the same".
