Is this Journalism!!!

The Time: 9 PM . Dinner is on!!! 20 mins into the News Channel( 1 of the best we have in India mind u!!!)...and what do we c??? a simple personal agenda has been converted into a "Top Story of the day"...with a generous amount of adjectives like "Shockin", "Breaking-News" added to it .

Our Reporter for the day along with his half-inert colleague has brought this issue to a debate finale with joined by celebrities ... Its so shocking to notice that rather than understanding the nuances of News reporting, these guys create sumthin like a War-Of-words,instigating the guests to react agressively... on National Television.... ( How can u ask ur guests to react to each other's comments and unanimously pass a decision urself!!!!) ..



To Top it all , the 2 parts of Masala ate away easily abt 25 mins of Airtime ... India 2day has so many better things to be covered that needs public attention. yet we turn a blind eye to many a grievances of the people in far flung areas.Only celebrities, Politicians and Sports stars hog the limelight .. The media should ensure proper balance in reportin...(Have u ever seen India's North-east covered with as much zeal &hype as a Cricket controversy)...I have seen parents encouraging their wards to watch NEWS &learn ...This is not they should be learnin anyday...

Its time the Journalist fraternity stood up and introspected about what Responsible &True Journalism really means ...

I might not know ABC of journalism ..but i can surely vouch for the fact that this kind of reporting is helping no one ..

Multi-Faceted Moi!!!!!

an Irony of an Indian MBA!!!!! I am sure thr r parties who will and wont agree 2. Its been 9 months i have been experiencing "MBA" like nvr before.. at 1st I thot I had be a Accountant (Tons of Acc rivers &its tributaries flowing in the 1st Sem )..Alas!! All breached its banks.Thats a different story ...
Then a felt like a complete Corporate ready lawyer ... All the acts so clear that i could charge any passerby with breach of literally anythin under the Indian Legal Umbrella ...
They say u hav to be clear till the end of ur 1st yr what u wanted to do ... ( On the contrary they hav given me more options rather than narrowing this nvr ending Profession list ..). As if this was easy.Taxation, Research methods, Operations Research (they could clog ur mind &let ur arteries free!!!).
Silver Linings sure do exist- MacroEconomics - The Baap of all subjects &my own baby-Marketing ..
Now here's my query.Agreed as generalists we all need to be knowin in&out of Businesses we aspire to be with... But how much of the conceptual knowledge needs to be tested... I mean thr must a dividin' line between Have-to-Know &Good-to-know .. Testin the former seems sensible..This could be debated I am sure!!!
Comments can be bombarded...
